Historical Background |
Voter registration lists from Inyo County list Al Lynn as a barber in Big Pine, California, in 1922 and 1926. John Black became a resident of Bishop in 1888, where he ran a saloon. In 1902 he bought a saloon in Big Pine, where he later moved his family. He also developed mining interests in the Chrysopolis, California area in the latter part of the 1890s. Voter registration lists from Big Pine in 1922 record his occupation as miner. John Black's wife was Rose, nee Carroll, and the two were the parents of Rosalind and J. D. Black. John Black died in 1923 at the age of fifty-eight. |
