According to his draft registration he was tall and slender with brown hair and brown eyes.
The youngest of 8 children, he was born in the Town of Big Flats. At 19 he stayed at his Uncle Richard's home in Sheboygan Falls. In April 1918, he entered the U.S. Army and received training at Camp Hancock, Ga. He was discharged before the 1920 census where he is enumerated as boarding in New London. He lived in New London for 10 years after the war, coming to Friendship about 1930. There he lived with his brother Otto (1930 and 1940 censuses). He was a member of the Odd Fellows Lodge in New London and of Red Cloud Post, American Legion, in Friendship.

News items showed he was elected as least twice as Constable of Friendship in the 1940's.

He died early morning at the Veterans' Hospital in Wood County after a long illness of heart trouble. A neighbor remembers that he died of pneumonia.

Roseberry Funeral Home was in charge of the funeral arrangements. The services were held at the funeral home with the Rev. Sam Robbins officiating.

Mr. Lindner wass survived by one brother, Otto, Friendship, as well as 17 nephews and nieces. Three brothers and two sisters and a step-sister preceded him in death.

A man who remembered Amos in Friendship wrote:
"Amos was a handyman around town, drove an old pontiac car with the words "the medusa" painted on it. he lived in e.e. england's hen house and died one winter from pnemonia.

"i don't know of any shop that amos had, he just seemed to be a general handyman. my dad bought the mill and mill pond at arkdale in the early 40's. everything he bought had to have a fence around it. he hired amos to put a fence up. after the second day, he asked dad why he was puting up a fence. dad said to keep people like you out.amos said iam not going to put up a fence to keep myself out of my fishing spot,i quit.
i saw him mowing yards and shoveling snow around town."

The 1930 census records his occupation as a cabinet maker with a shop.
