== Obituary ==

''Harlan Tribune'', August 7, 1959<ref>[[:File:Hannah elizabeth walker obit.png]]</ref>
Mrs. Hannah Elizabeth Linn, 84, pioneer resident of the Shelby community, died Monday evening at an Avoca nursing home.

Born in Iowa City, Mrs. Linn came to Shelby as a young girl.  She had been here ever since.  She was a member of the Shelby Methodist Church and the Ladies Aid.

Funeral services were held Thursday afternoon at the Methodist Church with Rev. Lawrence Hawes officiating.  Burial was in the Shelby Cemetery.  

Survivors include eight sons: Harry, Des Moines; Dwight, Correctionville; Hugh, Gilmore City; Frank, Sheffield; Samuel, Humboldt; Jacob, Hancock; and Everett, Ackley.  Also, two daughters: Mrs. Harry Simon, Hancock, and Mrs. Elzie Robinson, Dayton.  One sister, Mrs. Hathe Egnew of Henrieta, Okla. also survives.

==[[Jill Marie Linn]]'s Memory of Frank and Libby<ref>Email from [[Jill Marie Linn]] to [[James Brian Lindstrom]] on 11/12/2010</ref>==
Grandma Linn I only knew briefly. The memories I have are visiting her in a home (kind of like a nursing home) in Avoca. I was maybe 4 or 5 at the time. I remember she had very thin skin and really big veins. I would sit on her lap and run my fingers up and down her soft hands. She was a small woman at that time in her life. 

Grandpa Linn died before my mom and dad even got married. I'm not sure if my mom met him or maybe it was shortly after they met that he passed away. You know lots of stories about him. I remember lots of stories too, but didn't meet him. He sounded very tall, big, physically strong and character-strong. A man of high morals and principals.
