ELMER RUSH
LYNN, who is engaged in general farming and dairying in
Canfield township, owning 250 acres of land, was born Nov. 23, 1865,
on his present farm, and is a son of Hiram and Rachel (Mocherman)
Lynn.
The great-grandfather of Elmer R. Lynn was
born in1802, and came from Pennsylvania to Ohio after his marriage,
settling in the wilderness, in Canfield township. He erected a
log cabin and began clearing the land, residing here until his
death. He was the father of seven children: David, John,
Mary, Betsey, George, Levi and Philip. The only
survivor of the family is Mary, who is the widow of Nathan
Hartman, and is one of the oldest residents of Canfield
township. Capt. John Lynn, grandfather of Elmer R.,
was born on the home farm, on which he passed all his subsequent
life, clearing the greater part of the land, and becoming a
well-known farmer and stock-raiser. He married Sophia
Nickum and they reared two children: Hiram and Anna
May, the latter of whom married Noah Lynn, and resides at
Youngstown, Ohio. John Lynn died on this farm, Mar. 24,
1885, at the age of 74 years.
Hiram Lynn was born on the old family homestead,
Feb. 7, 1837, and, with the exception of two years, spent his entire
life on this farm. He obtained his education at the Canfield
Academy, after which he taught school for many terms in Canfield
township, and then settled down to farming. He was a stanch
Democrat and served for several years as township trustee and as
justice of the peace. He married (first) Rachel Mocherman,
who was born Aug. 7, 1842, in Jackson township, and died Jan. 5,
1876. Her father was Abraham Mocherman, who was an
extensive farmer and stock-raiser of Jackson township. There
were four children born to the parents of our subject: "Elmer,
Ward D., Jay Elwood, and Orman Allen. Hiram Lynn
married (second) Catherine Kyle, a daughter of Robert Kyle.
There were no children born to the second union. Hiram Lynn
died Mar. 1, 1888, but his widow still survives.
Elmer Lynn attended the district schools of
Canfield township and continued to live at home, and as he was the
eldest son, the greater part of the overseeing of the farm work fell
to him. Subsequently he purchased 160 acres from his father's
estate, and resides in the large eight-room residence which was
erected by his father and grandfather. The large barn and
other buildings Mr. Lynn erected himself, the old barn in
which was on the place when he bought it, having been destroyed by
lightning. His second farm, which he purchased from the
Canfield heirs, lies about one-half mile from Canfield, and is used
for pasturage, as he keeps between 35 and 40 head of cattle,
operates a large dairy and retails butter in Youngstown.
Mr. Lynn was married May 20, 1891,
to Emma Kyle, who was born Aug. 20, 1870, in Youngstown
township, a daughter of Joshua and Candace (Loveland) Kyle,
both of whom were born in Mahoning County, and died in Canfield
township. She is one of a family of four children:
Robert, Lulu, Mrs. I. Goodman; Emma, and Charles Clayton.
Three children were born to Mr. and Mrs. Lynn: Ralph H., Edith
and Ward. Mr. Lynn is a Democrat and was elected
township trustee in 1902, in which capacity he is still serving, and
he is also a member of the school board. Mr. Lynn and
his family are all members of the Disciple Church, of which he is an
elder. He has always taken an interest in educational matters
and was one of the incorporators of the Northeastern Ohio Normal
School at Canfield.
