LYNN, John G.

1848 - 1907  

An immense crowd attended the funeral of Mr. James E. Lynn at this late home on the Somerset Pike Friday afternoon and followed the remains to their last resting place in Buffalo cemetery.

Dr. W. F. Vaughan, now of Somerset, preached a most appropriate funeral sermon and th occasion was a most solemn one. Mr. Lynn was an exceedingly popular man and much sorrow is expressed at his taking away.

As Stated last issue he and his twin brother, Mr. John G. Lynn, died within a few days of one another. They greatly resembled each other and many were unable to tell them apart.

Truly Lincoln County has lost two excellent citizens by their deaths.

Page 3  The Stanford Interior Journal tells of the remarkable coincidence of the deaths of John G. and James E. Lynn, of Lincoln County. They were twins, so much alike that close friends sometimes mistook one for the other.

They were also alike in good citizenship. They both suffered from the same disease and died of it, the one on Monday the other on Wednesday, and they would have been 59 years of age on Friday.

The writer knew them well and was fully aware of their many fine traits. Of them it could almost be said; They were closely united in life and in death, they were not divided...Franklin Journal
