Sudden Death of James Clynch
Last Wednesday evening, Mr. Clynch. retired apparently hale and hearty. Shortly after going to bed he was seized with a fit of coughing. His wife arose and gave him a drink of water. This stopped his coughing but he soon complained of difficulty in breathing. He arose, walked around the room and then suddenly flinging himself on the bed expired before medical aid could be obtained. The doctor pronounced it heart failure.
Funeral services were held Friday from the church of the lmmacculate{sic} Conception. The remains were interred in the Catholic cemetery.
Mr. Clynch was born in Bagnalstown, Carlow county, Ireland, about 1824. He came to this country in 1850. After staying a short time in Utica and in Rome, N. Y., he came west and took up the claim southeast of Lourdes, where he resided until a few weeks ago when he moved to Elma. In 1861 Mr. Clynch was married to Miss Anna Mullen, the ceremony taking place at Decorah, he leaves a wife and seven children.—North Iowa Democrat.
The deceased has been intimately known to the publishers of the PLAIN DEALER since 1857. He was an honest man and an exemplary citizen in all the walks of life. The bereaved family in this sorrowful dispensation have the sympathy of the public in which the PLAIN DEALER joins.

Transcriber’s Note: His gravestone in the Calvary Elma Cemetery indicates he was born in 1826.
