The funeral services were held Tuesday, February 27, 1912, at 11 o'clock, from the St. Patrick's Catholic church in this city, Rev. Father Dollard officiating, and. the remains laid to rest beside those of her husbanci in Calvary cemetery. Mrs. Lynam's . maiden name was Catherine McDonnough. She was born in county Antrim, Ireland, in 1832, and came to America in May, 1852. After arriving here she made her home in Ripon, Wisconsin, where she was married to William Lynam, April 19, 1856. She and her husband remained in Ripon for about seven years after their marriage, and then removed to Somerset, Perry county, Ohio, where they resided until 1878, when they came to Adams county, since which time they were our neighbors until the times of their deaths. On arriving here Mr. and Mrs. Lynam settled on a farm a milfe and a half north of Brooks, still known as the Lynam farm. They lived there for about 14 years and then moved to to the Mercer township farm, where for 19 years they assisted in building up this community. Mr. Lynam died 14 years ago on the 29th, of March. To Mr. and Mrs. Lynam eleven children were born, five of whom died in nfancy. The remaining six were all n-esent at the funeral of the mother except the daughter who lives in Ohio. They are; Mrs. Jacob Snyder, Somerset, Ohio; James H., Joe, Barney and ohn, o£ Adams county; Mrs. Charles Snyder, of Fletcher, Okla. Grandma Lynam was a good woman, and she vill be greatly missed. Like most mothers, she was satisfied with a rumble place in life, devoting her time and energies to the rearing of a famly that should be an honor and a credit to her, in which she was eminently successful. The weight of 80 ears had left its trace on her constiution, and that combined with heart rouble brought about her demise. rust a year ago Mrs. Lynam and her ion, John, moved to Corning to retire rom the more arduous duties of the arm. Corning people extend sympathy to the sorrowing relatives in heir hour of affliction. [S00074] Calvary Cemetery Record, Corning.
