Thanks Julia. I'm related to the Linn family through my Isaacs and Parker line. My great great grandmother was Elizabeth Caldone Parker Linn Isaacs. First married to Charles Linn and second to James Harvey Isaacs.

Benton -- A Benton woman died Wednesday morning in a house fire. Franklin County Coroner Marty P. Leffler said he was notified at 10:05 a.m. Wednesday by the Franklin Hospital Emergency Room of a woman found unresponsive in a residential fire located at 11566 Linn Road just south of the city limits of Benton. Leffler said the woman, identified as Dorothy Marie Linn, 99, was pronounced as deceased by the ER doctor at 9:55 a.m. Leffler said authorities received a 9111 call at 8:48 a.m. by a neighbor who saw smoke coming from the residence. Franklin County Sheriff’s Department deputies, along with Benton and West City Fire Departments, initially responded, and mutual-aid arrived from West Frankfort, Sesser, Buckner, Christopher and Coello fire departments. Firefighters and deputies forced entry into the home and located the unresponsive Linn near the southeast entry of the home. Leffler said CPR was started until ambulance personnel arrived and transported the victim to the Franklin Hospital in Benton. “Emergency room personnel took over life saving measures, but never received any vital signs of life,” he said. “Mrs. Dorothy Marie Linn was pronounced deceased at 9:55 a.m. Leffler said that a blood sample was drawn and the Franklin Hospital Lab performed carbon monoxide testing on the sample. He said the results came back positive for a lethal range of carbon monoxide. “After x-rays were performed and consultation with a forensic pathologist, the cause of death is from asphyxiation due to smoke inhalation due to a residential fire,” Leffler said. The cause of the fire is under investigation by the Illinois State Fire Marshal’s office. Funeral arrangements for Mrs. Linn are pending with the Morton & Johnston Funeral Home of Benton. Leffler ask that you keep this family in your prayers. Julia D. Schroeder, Ph.
