Daniel A. Lynch Answers Taps at Quincy Home
Native of Ft. Russell will be Buried at Moro
Taps sounded shortly after sunrise today for one of the old natives of Madison county, resident of Edwardsville for years and veteran of the Civil War. A message from the Old Soldier's Home at Quincy brought news of the death of Daniel A. Lynch at 7:45 o'clock. Death was due to the ailing health over several years and due to a rheumatic condition. During the past two or three years he has slowly but steadily been fading away but he made a good fight. Two weeks ago physicians advised that he be taken to the home for treatment after careful attention for a long time at home. The untiring efforts of Mrs. Lynch had been checked through her illness. He was taken to Quincy a week ago last Sunday and since then his condition has not been so good. The rheumatic condition has bothered him for a number of years and was so bad at times that it was difficult for him to walk. Lack of walking, through age and the ailment made the case a more severe one. Mr. Lynch was a native of Ft. Russell Township, born on May 7, 1843, and would have been four score had he lived until next spring. He was a son of Mr. & Mrs. John Lynch, his father being an early settler of the community, and his mother member of an old family. He received his education at the district school and followed farming until 19 years old. With the clouds of the Civil War he answered the call. He entered for thirty day service and re-enlisted for the three year period. He became a member of Company K, Tenth Illinois Volunteers. At the end of the three years the war was still raging. Before being placed in a company he was taken ill with small pox and discharged from service on account of physical conditions after he was well. During the three year period he became a sergeant of his company. Returning home, he followed farming, teaming and railroad work for a number of years. Later he moved to Edwardsville and served the city as village marshal. He held an official position at the Southern Illinois Penitentiary, at Chester, and giving it up was engaged in the furniture business with his son for a time. He was twice married. His first wife was Miss Mary Stahl whose death occurred at Moro a few years later. She has been dead for forty-five years. The union was blessed with three children, Samuel Lynch of Cedar Falls, Ia., Mrs. Dora Stephenson, Columbia, Mo., and John Henry Lynch of South Bend, In. Several years after her death, he was married to Miss. Elizabeth A. Glass, the ceremony being performed on October 5, 1880. She became the mother of the three children. He is also survived by a sister, Mrs. Mary Shephard of Springfield, Illinois, and a brother, C. H. Lynch, Edwardsville. Three step [sic *]-sisters survive. They are, Miss Sallie Harbison, Mrs. Jane Judd, St. Louis and Mrs. Matilda Womack, Detroit Mich. Mr. Lynch is one of the oldest members of Edwardsville Lodge No. 33, A. F. and A. M. In another seven months he would have celebrated his fifteenth anniversary as a Mason. He is one of the oldest members of the First Presbyterian church. Plans for the funeral are indefinite. One request that he be buried at Moro will be carried out. Word from his son Samuel is expected in the afternoon. It is not known if the body will be brought here or taken directly to Moro.
