Former Well Known Richland Township Woman Died Suddenly
A sudden death, which came as a distinct shock to relatives and a wide circle of friends, was that of Theresa Donaldson Lynch, 27, wife of Francis Lynch, Wright county farmer, which occurred at her home near Woolstock Friday afternoon at 5:00 p. m.
The deceased, a daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Joe Donaldson of near Nevada, had been a sufferer from heart trouble for about four months, and while she had not been so well for the past two weeks her condition was not considered serious.
Immediately upon receiving word of her passing, the parents, the brother, Francis, and the sisters, Mrs. Fred Heintz and Mrs. Andrew Kaufman and their husbands left for Wright county, returning home about noon today.
Funeral services will be held at the out-mission church in Woolstock Monday morning at ten o'clock. The funeral service will be in charge of Rev. Fr. O'Donnell of Clarion with Rev. Frien of Webster City, formerly of Zearing, in charge of the music.
Burial will be in St. Patrick's cemetery, Nevada. The funeral cortege will possibly reach here about 2 p. m. Monday afternoon.
The deceased was born in Champaign county, Ill., twenty seven years ago, coming with her parents as a small girl to Story county. She graduated from the Milford Consolidated school in 1928 and was married in Nevada to Francis Lynch of Eagle Grove on Feb. 9, 1935.
She is survived by her young husband, by her parents, one brother, Francis Donaldson and three sisters, Velma, Mrs. Andrew Kaufman of St. Anthony; Marie, Mrs. Fred Heintz, and Genevieve, Mrs. Eugene Cook of Nevada. She also leaves two nephews, Donald Kaufman and Joie Heintz and a niece, Mary Jean Kaufman.
The bereaved husband is a nephew of Mrs. Joe Wheelock and John Moroney of Nevada and a son of Mr. and Mrs. Frank Lynch of Eagle Grove.
