All of the above were present at the funeral with the exception of the sister at Columbus, Ohio. For several years past, Mr. Lynam has suffered from an incurable disease, but his remarkable endurance and patience have been a marvel to ail his friends. He was so anxious to live juntil his son returned from war, and has seemed to enjoy his life since. Everything that medical skill could do was done for him and not unti, after consuiting a specialist last week: in Chicago was his life despaired of. Since coming home he expressed his readiness to die and said he felt prepared. Mr. Lynam had a large circle of friends who re- gret his passing from this life and he will be greatly missed by his associates.
