King County has been home
to many typical Western ranch-

when members of his family

when Lynn was only eight years
old, so he grew to manhood with
danger of Indian depredations
always present.
By the time he began to think
of leaving home and starting out
on his own, as most young men in
his Jack County community, he
thought of working with cattle as

showing up around now,"How do

my lawnmower last week close to
the store building. Several have
seen a lot and large ones. This
warm weather puts them on the

they can be anywhere, and hard to

Scheduled time on the Joint
Picture Directory between Guthrifei a- ’qoVW ' helping move large
herds over the well-traveled trails
to markets or to other grazing
lands - Isom Lynn did realize this
ambition when he was employed
before he was twenty years old,
by Goodnight and Loving whose
names are famous in Texas and
throughout the West for moving
hundreds of cattle over the trails
to different parts of Texas; then
daring to venture into New
Mexico and Colorado thereby
establishing new routes or trails.
At twenty-eight years, Lynn
came to what is now King
County. As a young man he liked
what he saw here - an
opportunity for successful
ranching. He came with the
Lasater brothers of Jack County
in 1879 as they moved 1,000 head
of cattle onto the lush native
grass of the open range.
The Lasaters soon returned to
Jack County, but Lynn decided to
stay. His decision to remain in
the King County area made him
the trail blazer for others to follow
as he was the first permanent
white settler in what is now King
County.
He saw changes come as the
years went by. The county was
organized in 1891, a school
provided for settler's children,
Guthrie became the county seat,
and more ranches were es-
tablished.
People were moving West
where land could be bought for a
long term of payment. Anyone
who had a question about past
events in King County was told to
ask Isom Lynn. He was a friend
to everyone and earned the
respect and admiration of all
those who knew him, perhaps
because of his modest and
unassuming manner. When he
was an older man, he was called
"Uncle Isom" by Guthrie and
King County people as a term of
affection.
One of Uncle Isom's pleasures
was to visit the school in Guthrie
on special occasions, Christmas
and other holidays, with apples
and candy for every pupil and
teacher. This happened at least
three times each year.
On September 8, a very special
day was celebrated at the Lynn
home (five miles west of
Guthrie), when he and his wife
invited everybody to a bountiful
birthday dinner. All who came to
Uncle Isom's birthday party
loved to tell how many wonderful
foods were served and how
everyone was welcomed. Mrs.
Lynn, called "Aunt Sally," was a
lovely, soft-spoken Southern lady,
who was praised for her cooking
by everyone who had ever had a
meal at the Lynn home. Friends
have told of the days she spent in
preparation for Uncle Isom's
birthday dinner because it was
really a county-wide celebration.
People were happy to honor their
citizen extraordinary.
Just recently, a friend told of
an experience she had in going to
the Lynn home for the birthday
dinner. After all the guests had
arrived, a flood -like rain came,
making it impossible for any of
the crowd to go home. This
extended party has never been
forgotten by the people there on
September 8 in the mid-30's -
when they enjoyed the dinner
and stayed overnight for
breakfast! ; „
