MRS. L. W. LYNCH

Mrs. L. W. Lynch, whose serious illness was mentioned in last week's issue, on last Wednesday closed her eyes to all things and her spirit took its flight to He who gave it, thus creating in that so newly made home a vacum that time can never fill or human heart console. Loving hands and most tender hearts administered to her every attention but God in his goodness and judgment saw fit to remove her from that pleasant and happy home.

On last Wednesday morning occurred the death of Mrs. Mary Lynch, of this city, a daughter of Jonah and Mrs. Shreeves, of Warren county. Her death followed the birth of a little daughter which occurred on the Friday previous, and who is now being cared for by Mrs. A. L. McGinnis, a sister of the deceased lady.

Mrs. Lynch was a splendid girl and developed into a noble woman, whom none knew but to love, respect and admire.

Her funeral took place on Thursday afternoon from the M.E. church and the remains were escorted to the nearby cemetery by an unusually large following. The bereaved are her husband, little daughter, aged parents, two brothers, seven sisters, many relatives and a large circle of sympathizing friends.
