General Notes: Husband - William Bertram Linn

---

He remained on the home farm until he was fifteen years of age, attending school first in Franklin, later in Cumberland and still later in Washington counties, Pennsylvania, and took a business course at the Iron City Commercial College at Pittsburgh. He then went into the lumber business at Burgettstown and the firm was first known as Armour and Linn, but later became Linn Bros. After his marriage he continued to reside at Burgettstown until 1900, when he moved to McKeesport, where he resided until August 16, 1909, when he returned to Burgettstown, never, in the meanwhile, having dis-associated himself with the lumber firm of Linn Bros. While at McKeesport he was president and treasurer of the National Lumber Company of that place and continued in those offices until 1908.
He was a member of the First Presbyterian Church of McKeesport. In politics, he was an active Democrat and he served three terms as school treasurer of Burgettstown, and for three years was treasurer of the Union Agricultural Association. Mr. Linn was a member of the Masonic order.
