Subject: Custom of using the title of Colonel

Bill, Could you explain the custom of men using the title of Colonel? In an
obit for my greatgrandfather, he was referred to as Col. I.W. Lynn. He
resided in Ballard Co. Ky. and died in 1870. I'm not aware that he served in any
war.
Keep up the good work.
