Mr. Lynn is a son of James Lynn, a pioneer of 1847, who came across the plains to California from Jackson county, Missouri. He was one of the first explorers of the far northern country and established the trails over which so many thousands found their way to the coast.

Our subject was married at Watsonville, to Miss Mary, daughter of Joseph V. Matthis, one of the very earliest settlers of San Benito county and now a resident of Hollister, where he is esteemed as a California pioneer and citizen.
