William F. Lynch, the secretary and treasurer of the Heyl & Lynch Drug Company of New Haven, was born on the 31st of August, 1893, in the city in which he is now successfully engaged in business. His parents are William and Mary A. (Shay) Lynch, natives of Bridgeport and of Irish lineage. The son pursued his education in the public schools and under private instruction, and from the age of fourteen years has been dependent upon his own exertions, entering upon an apprenticeship to the drug business, with which he has since been continuously connected. He was in the employ of others for several years or until 1915, when laudable ambition prompted him to enter upon an independent venture and he formed a partnership with Edward C. Heyl, under the style of the Heyl & Lynch Drug Company, Incorporated. These two young men have since conducted their interests along progressive, modern business lines, and their labors have brought to them continued success. Their store is attractive in its appointments, complete in its equipment and the practical experience of the partners has enabled them to so direct their interests as to win a continually growing patronage.
     Mr. Lynch is a communicant of the Roman Catholic church, being identified with St. Rose's parish. He also holds membership with the Knights of Columbus and with the Benevolent Protective Order of Elks. In politics he is not bound by party ties but casts an independent ballot. Like his partner he has depended upon his own efforts for advancement, and their faith in their own capability is justified in their growing success
