WILLIAM J. LYNCH OF RAMSAY
One of Ramsay township's most highly esteemed farmers, William J. Lynch, died at his farm on the fourth line, last Friday morning. For the past two years Mr Lynch had not enjoyed the beat of health. The late Mr Lynch was born in the township, seventy-one years ago, a son of Daniel Lynch and Jane Giles. Forty-seven years ago he was married to Caroline Manary of Lanark, who survives with three sons, and three daughters, Daniel Lynch, John Albert Lynch and Wilfred Lynch, all of Ramsay, and Margaret, Mrs James McNeely, of Beckwith; Stella, Mrs Ray Bigham of Picton, and Miss Ellan Lynch of Cornwall. Also surviving are one brother, Robert Lynch of Pembroke, and two sisters, Mrs Thomas Byron, Ottawa, and Mrs William Thompson in Ramsay, and some eighteen grandchildren. The funeral took place to St James Church, Carleton Place, on Monday afternoon, the service being conducted by the Rev Mr. Bruce, and was very largely attended. Interment was made in the church cemetery. The pallbearers were Daniel Leach, William Leach, jr., John A McArton, Alex. Munroe, William Thompson of Ramsay, and Welland Byron, Maryland, Que. Many beautiful floral tributes were received.
