LYNCH

FIVE CHILDREN DIE
Sorrowful Affliction in the Family of Thomas LYNCH
In a country cemetery eight miles west of Edmond are five newly made graves, and there sleep five children of Mr. and Mrs. Thomas Lynch, all of them having died in the space of three weeks-Charlie, aged 16; Nellie, aged 12; Alice, aged 3; Lucy, aged 4, and an infant aged 10 months. They all had measles, followed by pneumonia, and in addition to the great sorrow following death after death, there are four other children sick and their lives almost despaired of. Charles was the last of the five to die; and he retained his faculties, while life lingered. He made an oral will, be queathing to his brothers and sisters his pony, saddle, hog, dog and a small sum of money he had saved up. The calmness and deliberation with which the boy made his bequest rendered it all the more pathetic. The bereft parents have the heartfelt sympathy of all who know them.
