Charles LINN

Walker Cemetery
Poinsett County,
Arkansas

b. 21 Oct 1875 in Montgomery County, Texas, USA
d. 1900 in Weiner, Poinsett Co., Arkansas, USA

Charles Linn was the son of Robert Linn and Catherine HYSAW. He married Mary Jane BENNET on 19 May 1897 in Weiner, Poinsett County, Arkansas and they had two children, Laura Mae b. 1898, and William Charles b. Sept 1900 (either shortly before or after his father's death).

For some reason, Charles's widow, Mary Bennett Linn, changed the spelling of Linn to Lynn. Charles's children lived with Mary's relatives after Charles' death. Mary remarried and the story is someone spelled "Linn" incorrectly one day as "Lynn" and it stuck.
