* Spelling and punctuation adjusted wherein I was aware.
Because Linn died in the last 50 years, his death certificate will not become publicly available until around the year 2017... if that. I'm not sure how publicly available death certificates are from Colorado archives, but if I can get ahold of a copy in due time, I will post it here.
