MARY LYNCH

  Mrs. Mary Lynch, one of the oldest residents of Meyersdale, died at the home 
of her son-in-law and daughter, Mr. and Mrs. Harry Walsh, on Olinger Street at 
9:45 a.m. today (Thursday).  Had she lived until March 5th next, she would have 
been 86 years old.
  She was a native of Baltimore and came to Sand Patch with her late husband, 
Michael Lynch, who was a Baltimore & Ohio section foreman, many years ago.  She 
was post-mistress at Sand Patch for nine years.  Since the death of her husband 
more than 25 years ago, she lived in Meyersdale.
  Mrs. Lynch was the mother of fourteen children, of whom the following survive:  
Annie, married and living in Buffalo, N.Y.; Mrs. Margaret Friel, Mrs. Agnes 
Hanninger, Miss Bernadette, Joseph and Thomas Lynch, Pittsburgh; Mrs. Sarah 
Walsh, and Mrs. Catherine Kerrigan, Meyersdale.  Richard, Robert, Philip and 
Mary preceded her in death.
  She had 30 grandchildren and 29 great-grandchildren.  She is also survived by 
one sister, Mrs. Ellis, living in Nebraska.
  Mrs. Lynch was in fairly good health until a week ago when she had a paralytic 
stroke.  She remained conscious, however, and was able to talk until she passed 
away.
  She was a devout member of the Catholic Church, a noble mother and good 
neighbor.  Funeral services will be held at 9 o'clock Monday morning.
