All Franklin County mourns the death of Mrs. T. J. Lynch, who died at the family home Wednesday evening at 7:00 o'clock after an illness of long duration. Mrs. Lynch was 81 years of age, and although she had been in poor health for a long time, her condition at times being very critical, she bore her suffering with that Christian fortitude so characteristic of her entire life. Mrs. Lynch is survived by her husband, T. J. Lynch and three children, Frank S Lynch of near Bloomington, Otto Lynch of Franklin, and Mrs. Bert Elliott of Brewster, Kansas. Mrs. Elliott had been here for some time assisting in the care of her other, and when she seemed to be getting better the latter part of the week, Mrs. Elliott returned to her home. Later Mrs. Lynch took a relapse and continued to sink until the end came. T. J. Garrett and Mrs. D. W. Baker of Franklin are brother and sister of the deceased. Obiturary will be available later. At the Sentinel's press hour, no funeral arrangements had been made. The husband, children and other relatives have the sympathy of all in their bereavement. 26 Feb 1930
