T. T. LYNN, farmer; P.O., Chandlerville; was born in 
Sangamon County, Dec. 15, 1830.  He was educated in the 
common schools of Cass County.  His early life was spent at 
home upon the home farm; when he was twenty-two years old 
he left home and began farming on his own account.  Dec. 
16, 1852, in Case County, he married Miss Letitia Hickey, a 
native of Menard County; born April 7, 1832.  Mr. Lynn and 
wife are the parents of the following children: John C., 
Letitia, Sarah A., James W., Timothy T., jr., Mary B., 
Joseph C., and Francis L., who died Sept. 18, 1862.  Mr. 
Lynn, politically, holds to the principles of the 
Republican party. He has never aspired to official 
promotion, believing it more becoming and more consistent 
to attend to the duties of his farm and family than to 
enter the political ring and clamor for office.  He 
commenced life with no capital, but a strong body and a 
willing mind.  He is now the proprietor of over 800 acres 
of the best land of Cass County.  Of pleasant, affable 
address, liberal in his views, genial and gentlemanly in 
his social relations, high-minded and public-spirited, Mr. 
Lynn wields a large influence in the community in which he 
lives, and deserves a place high on the roll of the 
substantial men of Cass County.
