Alonzo Linn was born in the state of Pennsylvania, on March 31, 1843, and was 69 years of age his last birthday anniversary. At that time there, a family reunion, in his honor, and shortly thereafter, Mr. Linn's condition became serious. From that time on his health has been anything but good and as time passed he had grown gradually weaker.

Madison, Iowa, to Miss Keren H. Richardson. Shortly after their marriage, they moved to Scotland county, Mo., where they lived for 4 years, and then returned to Van Buren county, Ia. Here they lived for 28 years on the old homestead, which had been the home of Mr. Linn's parents for many years. Just prior to Christmas day in the year 1905, Mr. and Mrs. Linn and family went to Colorado and located in Rocky Ford, where they lived one year before moving to Fowler.
