LYNN ROSEGRANT BRODRICK

    Lynn Rosegrant Brodrick, business manager of the Advocate-Democrat at
Marysville and partner with his father, the editor and postmaster of Marysville,
in the publication of that influential newspaper, was born at Marceline,
Missouri, February 18, 1892, son of Harry M. and Emma L. (Rosegrant) Brodrick,
further mention of whom is made in a biographical sketch of the former presented
elsewhere in this volume.

    Lynn R. Brodrick was about eight years of age when his parents located at
Marysville and he grew to manhood in that city, receiving his schooling in the
public schools, and was graduated from the high school with the class of 1909.
From boyhood he had been an active assistant to his father in the office of the
latter's newspaper, the Marysville Advocate-Democrat, and on March 1, 1913, was
given a one-third interest in the paper by his father and has since been acting
as business manager of the paper. The plant of the Advocate-Democrat is one of
the most up-to-date newspaper plants in this part of the state and the paper is
managed along modern lines, long having been regarded as one of the ablest and
most influential newspapers in this part of the state. Lynn R. Brodrick is a
Democrat and in 1915 was elected chairman of the Marshall county Democrat
central committee. He is now serving as secretary of the committee and is
recognized as one of the most active young Democrats in the county.

    On November 17, 1914, Lynn R. Brodrick was united in marriage to Jennie
Schmidt Fulton, who was born on June 1, 1891, at Marysville, the daughter of E.
R. and Jennie (Schmidt) Fulton, further mention of whom is made in a
biographical sketch of the former, presented elsewhere in this volume.

    Mrs. Brodrick secured her early education in the • Marysville schools and
graduated from the high school in the class of 1910. She completed her education
by taking a year's course at the National Park Seminary at Washington, D. C. She
was an active and energetic worker in church circles, having joined the
Presbyterian church at the age of seventeen and engaged in Sunday school and
church work. She and her husband took an earnest part in the general social
activities of Marysville. On January 13, 1917, at the age of twenty-five years,
seven months and twelve days, she passed away at her home after a brief illness.

    Mr. Brodrick is a Royal Arch Mason and a Knight Templar and has held Masonic
offices. He is also a member of the Modern Woodmen of America. In the affairs of
these organizations and the others to which he belongs he has always taken a
warm interest. In the general affairs of his home town he has taken an active
interest even from the days of his boyhood and has always given his time and
influence to the advancement of the general welfare of the city and the county
at large.
