Mrs. James Lynch

A Noble Woman Goes to her Reward.

Mrs. Mary Lynch, wife of James Lynch, died at her home near Bedford, Friday 
morning Jan., 17th. 1920, at four o'clock of heart trouble, she was only 
sick one hour.  Although up to this time she, had been in poor health, 
often complaining but her friends and love ones though nothing serious and 
her death came as a great shock to them.

Mrs. Mary Lynch was born April 3rd, 1859, and at the time of her death was 
in her 61st, year.  She was the daughter, of Mr. Shadrick and Harriett 
Barnes.

She united with the Poplar Ridge Baptist church in 1884 and lived a devoted 
life to that faith and was always ready to extend help to the needy and 
comfort to the sorrowing.  Her home was a christian home, and a home where 
her pastor was always welcome.

On October 31, 1888 she was united in marriage to James Lynch, who now 
surivies her.  To this union there were no children born.  She leaves to 
mourn: a loving husband, one brother, Mr. Nathan Barnes, three sisters, 
Mrs. Eliza Lynch, Mrs. Bettie Garriott and Mrs. Fannie Perkinson, all of 
this county.

It can truly be said of her "she hath done what she could."

Funeral services were conducted at the Baptist church here Sunday at 
12 o'clock by Rev. Vincent, after which the remains were laid to rest in 
the I.O.O.F. cemetery.
