  Family description	"William Marcus Linn, the seventh and youngest child of Hugh and Anne (DePutron) Linn, was born in the old family homestead at Sewickley Heights, Allegheny county, Pennsylvania, April 4, 1856. His early life was spent upon the farm and ,he obtained his education by attending the local public schools of Sewickley. Circumstances and inclination alike called him to the rural life and to the occupation of agriculture, and coming into possession of forty acres of the family property, he spent most of his life thereon, farming it with a high degree of success. So great was his success, indeed, that he was enabled eventually to dispose of this property and live in retirement from active life for a few years prior to his death. Mr. Linn was a man of intelligence and ability and took a keen interest in the questions of the day, In politics he was a Republican. Mr. Linn was married, February 27, 1879, to Mary V. Gibb, a daughter of Daniel and Catherine (Allison) Gibb, and thus a member of the two prominent families of western Pennsylvania, the Gibbs and the Allisons. David Gibb, of whom a sketch appears in this work, was her grandfather, and Daniel Gibb, her father. The latter was born August 16, 1829, at Mount Pleasant, Westmoreland county, Pennsylvania. ... To Mr. and Mrs. Linn were born five daughters, as follows: Elsie, married J. B. McKillips, of Wilkinsburg, Pennsylvania; Catherine, twin, wife of Charles F. Preller, of Dormont, Pennsylvania, one child, Mary E.; Anna, deceased, twin, wife of T. B. Gotham, of California, three children, Thomas B., Catharine A., and Mary, Mrs. Gotham died in 1913 at the age of thirtyone years; Olive, twin, wife of H. G. Jetter, of Sewickley, Pennsylvania, one child, Dorthia; Alice, twin, married John Danning, two children, Thomas and Anne. Mr. Linn's death occurred January 27. 1911. and he was survived by his wife who now resides in her handsome dwelling at 413 Peebles street, Sewickley, Pennsylvania. Mr. Linn was a Republican in politics. He was a member of the Methodist Episcopal Church, as is Mrs. Linn, and in that belief their children have been reared." (from Jordan, John W.
