WAR VETERAN DIES
C H Lynch Passes Away At Davenport, Iowa
Services to Be From Residence of Dr. Fiegenbaum
Taps sounded this morning for Clay H. Lynch, Justice of the Peace for Edwardsville Township, a Civil War Veteran and one of the well – known residents of this city and vicinity. His death occurred this morning at 5:30 o'clock at St. Lukes Hospital at Davenport, Ia., where he has been a patient since August 8. An injury sustained during the summer when struck by an automobile, a malignant growth, which developed later, a fractured leg sustained a few days ago, contributed to the death and caused his case to become a very complex one.
Just thirteen months to the day, on December 2, 1923, Mrs. Lynch expired at her home here. A short time afterwards he went to Wood River to make his home with a daughter, Mrs. E E Endicott and he made daily trips to Edwardsville to look after his business affairs and matters in his court.
During the summer he was accidently struck by an automobile at Wood River and had a partial recover from the injury. Other ailments began developing a short time afterwards and the growth is believed to be an outcome of the accident. Later in the summer he went to Moline, Ill., to visit a daughter and he had a decided change for the worst. He was taken to the hospital.
On November 8, he was being moved from the hospital to the office of the attending surgeon for X-ray pictures. While standing alone his leg gave way and he fell. The bone had splintered and that added the final complication.
Relatives had been advised of his critical condition but had hopes of his recovery. Mrs. Endicott received a telegram last night that he was not so and it was followed with another this morning of the end.
The body will be started for Edwardsville this afternoon and will arrive here Saturday morning. It will be taken to the home of Dr. E. W. Fiegenbaum and funeral services are to be held from there Sunday afternoon at 2 o'clock. Rev. M C Foltz will have charge. Burial will be at Woodlawn Cemetery.
Justice Lynch was a native of Ft. Russell Township, his parents being among the early settlers in one of the pioneer communities of Illinois. He was born on a farm north of Edwardsville on July 13, 1846 and had attained the age of 78 years, 6 months and 19 days.
He was a youth of about 16 years of age when the Civil War started and he was one of the many Madison County youths who joined the Union forces. The time spent in the service and afterwards in attending law school were the only periods he was out of the county for an extended time. He was a member of a company and regiment which saw considerable hard service and was with Sherman on his march to the sea.
His mother died when he was three years of age and his father lost his life during the Civil War. Returning home after the war he made his home with Judge Gillespie, reading law under him and who later sent him to study law at Ann Arbor, Michigan. He practiced law more or less, used it in his business and the legal knowledge was especially beneficial while serving as a Justice of the Peace. At one time he and the late Moses Sherman operated a commission house here.
On May 20, 1884, he was married to Miss Martha L. Fiegenbaum and the ceremony being performed at the residence of Dr. Fiegenbaum. He is survived by six children. They are: Mrs. Everett Endicott and Edward Lynch of Wood River; I C Lynch of Louisville, Ky; Mrs. Perry Waite Davis, Reynolds, Illinois, Mrs. Ira Cook, Moline, Illinois and Harris Lynch of Edwardsville.
His only brother, Daniel A. Lynch died two years ago. He is survived by a sister, Mrs. Mary Sheppard [sic-Shepherd] of Springfield, Illinois and three half sisters, Mrs. Matilda Womack, Collinsville; Mrs. Robert Harbison, St. Louis and Mrs. J W Judd. Judge Lynch held several public offices during his life. He is a former alderman, served Madison County as State's Attorney, was public administrator for Madison County and has lately been Justice of the Peace. He was a member of the Odd Fellows for many years and a member of the lodge will take part in the funeral.
