Bridget Clark, daughter of Clark.
Wife of Owen Lynch
Born 18 Nov 1826 in County Cavan, Ireland.
Died 27 Jun 1898 in Joliet, Will Co., IL.
Buried 29 Jun 1898
FROM OBIT;
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.
