LOCATION: 1911 - A horse, the property of Godfrey Linn, residing in Mercer county, not far from Willshire, was stolen from his barn under unusual circumstances. Suspicion connects the disappearance of the horse with a young couple, neither of whom looked to be over 18 years of age. They drove into the neighborhood from the north and their mysterious seclusion during the day would had one to believe that possibly they were an eloping pair. Unhitching their horse which was sick they pulled their buggy into a grove on the Scud Wilson farm, where they remained until their mysterious departure during the night. Despite the fact that their horse died in the early part of the evening, they made no effort to secure help. Linn discovered his horse had been taken from the barn and the parties in question had left. They had tried to take a horse from the pasture field of Lewis Alt, but after they had placed a halter on the animal the horse had broken away from them. Not to be balked in their efforts they took a horse from the Linn barn. Sheriff Fisher when notified, wired all the surrounding towns to be on the lookout for the couple and the stolen horse. A description of the animal is as follows: Sorrel horse, five years old, weight 1150 pounds, has a white left hind foot and big knee on right leg, star in forehead. The buggy drivin by the pair was black bed with red running gears and steel tires. Buggy was made at Flint, Mich. They had a grip in the rig. [Van Wert Daily Bulletin, Van Wert, Ohio, Sept. 18, 1911]
LOCATION: 1911 - William Linn, of Mercer county, residing near Willshire, accompanied by Sheriff Shell M. Fisher and Andy Bauers, also of Mercer county, have gone to West Baden, Ind., where they expect to identify the young couple who stole the Godfrey Linn horse several weeks ago. A couple tallying with their description was arrested at that place after they had started through the town displaying a gun in Wild West fashion. They were not driving the Linn horse when arrested, but one which they had stolen in that vicinity and which has since been claimed by it's owner. Sheriff Fisher's first knowledge of the young couple being arrested was read in one of the daily papers and believing them to be the couple who had stolen the Linn horse, called the officials at West Baden by telephone. The description of the couple as well as the buggy they were driving and the belongings they had with them tallied exactly with the couple wanted and the Sheriff, accompanied by Linn and Bauers, left immediately for West Baden. [Van Wert Daily Bulletin, Van Wert, Ohio, Sept. 30, 1911]
LOCATION: 1911 - The young man arrested at Mitchell, Ind., charged with stealing horses, including a fine animal taken from the barn of Godfrey Linn, near Willshire, has confessed to the officer that took him and his young wife in charge. He states that they resided in the western part of New York state, where their marriage recently occurred. As a wedding gift his father gave him a horse and the young couple decided to go west and grow up with the country, so started to drive, only having a small amount of money in their possession. His horse became exhausted and it was then that the idea formed itself in the mind of Hunter to exchange the horse for another and proceed. Believing that this could best be done in secrecy, he quietly appropriated a fine horse from the barn of a Pennsylvania farmer and leaving the first animal in trade the couple proceeded. So successful was this found to be by the lovers that they saw a rapid trip to the west before them. Exchange after exchange was made. At a farm near Paola, Ind., however, it was not so successful, and with an excellent description of the cuplrits a sheriff's posse traced them to a remote spot in the woods. The arrests did not follow at once for the bride, armed with a revolver, and her husband using a Winchester, easily held the posse at bay. For four days without food the bride and groom held their stronghold secure but at the end of that time, weak from hunger, thirst and exposure, and with their clothes in tatters, they were unable to resist longer and were taken into custody. [Van Wert Daily Bulletin, Van Wert, Ohio, Oct. 2, 1911]
LOCATION: 1911 - Clarence Homer and his young wife who stole the horse of Godfrey Linn, near Willshire, last September and whose numerous thefts of horses in Michigan, this state and Indiana, will no doubt be recalled, was sentenced from Orange county, Indiana, to serve from three to fifteen years in the Jeffersonville, Ind., prison. The charges against the girl were dismissed and she was taken home by her parents. [Van Wert Daily Bulletin, Van Wert, Ohio, Nov. 22, 1911]

"A Portrait and Biographical Record of Mercer and Van Wert Counties, Ohio", Bowen, 1896, p 408: Gottfried Linn, a prominent and successful farmer of Liberty Twp., Mercer Co., Ohio, was born Sept. 23, 1856 in Rhinefaltz, Germany, and is a son of Philip and Gertrude (Fuchs) Linn. He was reared on a farm and educated in Germany and also in the U.S., having come to this country in 1872, with his three brothers, Jacob, Philip and John, the former two locating in Mercer county, Ohio, where they purchased land and became prominent farmers; the latter first located in Buffalo, but is now living in Massachusetts. The trip from Germany to Mercer county was made in three weeks, those who came to this county arriving in Jun 1872. Here the subject of this sketch remained one week, and then went to Willshire, Van Wert county, where he worked for 8 months in the furniture store of Henry Atheon, whose biography appears elsewhere in this volume. Afterward he returned to Mercer county, where he remained with his brothers three weeks, and then made an engagement to work on a farm for 9 months. In this way he continued to work until January 23, 1883, when he married Mary FENNIG, a daughter of Jacob and Catherine (HULSHIRE) FENNIG. To this marriage there have been born three children as follows: Lewis, born Jan. 11, 1884; William born March 31, 1888; and Martha, born March 13, 1893. The mother of these children was born in Washington township, May 4, 1857, her father having been born in Elsass Germany in 1822, and having come to this country with his parents when a small boy.
