Mrs. Bridget Lynch breathed her last on Monday, June 27th, at the home of her daughter, Mrs. Philip E. Cosgrove, 400 Stevens avenue, Joliet, Ill., where she had been visiting for the past few weeks. Death was due to old age and general debility. The remains were brought to her home at Michigan City and the funeral was held Wednesday, June 29th, from St. Mary's church, and was largely attended by relatives and friends of the deceased. Requiem mass was said by Rev. Father Hortsman and Rev. Michael Louth, of Texas, delivered the funeral sermon. St. Mary's choir sang the requiem mass. The pallbearers were Messrs. Patrick Burns, H. R. Harris, W. F. Woodson, Walter Lockton, Thos. Donnelly, and C. T. Dibble. The interment took place in Calvary cemetery.

Eight children survive: Mrs. John Downey, Mrs. Fred Parker, Chas. and Connor Lynch, all of Chicago; Owen Lynch and Mrs. Philip Cosgrove, of Joliet, and Misses Bessie and Mary Lynch, of 231 east Michigan street, this city, with whom Mrs. Lynch made her home. They are nine grandchildren who were greatly devoted to her, as well as two sisters, the Mrs. Finnegan and Carroll, now living in Ireland.

Mrs. Lynch was born in County Cavan, Ireland, where she was married to Owen Lynch, and would have been 74 years old had she survived until November 18th, next. Mrs. and Mrs. Lynch came to America some forty-seven years ago, and settled in Massachusetts, but three years later moved to Michigan City. Mr. Lynch served in the civil war, and was present at Lee's surrender. The train on which he, with many other soldiers, was taken to Washington, was wrecked when entering that city and Mr. Lynch lost his life.

Left alone with eight young children, Mrs. Lynch devoted her life to them and no sacrifice was too great for her to make, that they might have every possible advantage. Besides her own children, she raised and educated two nieces, the Misses Anna and Kate Long, the latter now Mrs. William Wallace, of Chicago.

Large hearted and sweet-souled she always had a cheery word and a smile for the troubled and the true nobility of her character was emphasized by her loving and untiring devotion to the sick.
