Mrs. Margaret Curtis Lynch died at the home of her son, Capt. Hugh Lynch, in Franklin, Nov. 30th, 1901. The funeral took place in Patterson, Dec. 1st, at four o'clock p. m. She was born in Woodbridge, New Jersey, on June 14th, 1814. Her early childhood was spent in New York, whence her family moved to Virginia, with which state she was always pleased to identify herself, and where the greater part of her life was spent, until her marriage with Mr. Richrad (sic) Lynch, a Virginian by birth, but a pioneer settler of St. Mary Parish. Two children, a boy and a girl, blessed this union, the girl died in childhood. She united with the Methodist Church early in life, and was ever a zealous worker in the same. An intelligent, christian woman, ever unselfish, strong and true. The influence of her life is like the setting of the sun, whose light and warmth is felt after the source is hid from our view. A noble indulgent mother; a kind and affectionate grandmother; true and thoughtful friend has reaped her reward, for long and useful labors in the vineyard of her Master. "After lifes fitful fever she sleep well."
