Here, he grew to manhood, following the usual routine of the early pioneer boy, helping clear away the timbers, turning the virgin soil into the productive land that it now is. In his spare time he helped his father at the carpenter trade, this being the work he followed the greater part of his life.

On Nov. 14, 1867 he was united in marriage to Caroline ANGSTEAD to this union were born five children, John F., of Robbinsdale, Minn., Harry, of this city Mrs. Della MESSER who resides on a farm east of Fairfield; Agnes E and Myrtha M. deceased.

On March 1st, 1923 he moved to Fairfield with his son Harry, and since that time has resided at 408 West Hempstead street.

Had Mr. LYNN lived until Feb. he would have been eighty-five years of age.

He was active until the time of his last illness being able to be up town every day. He will be sorely missed by his many friends with whom he met each day, chatting over and reliving the days of youth, when Fairfield was a village of but few inhabitants and the whirr of a motor was unknown.
