Mytinger, was born December 31, 1841, oldest son of John and Lucretia Mytinger. At an early age he became a resident of Greene County, where he completed his education; for seven years he served as clerk for the old established house of Dr. J. N.

Mr. Mytinger was married to Miss Elizabeth Ayres, a daughter of Daniel Ayres, of Morgan County; six children were born of this marriage: Nora D., Katy L., Frances E., Albertus E., Frederick A., and Gracie. Mr. M. entered the service of the U. S. May, 1861, enlisting in Co. D, 14th Ill. Infantry, and became engaged in many battles; honorably discharged from this company on account of ill health; he afterward enlisted in Co. C, 61st Ill. Infantry, and toward the close of the Rebellion ranked as adjutant of the regiment through meritorious conduct.
