From the Clarion-Ledger, Jackson, Miss., Jan. 3, 1935, p. 8:
One of Jackson’s pioneer citizens has passed off the stage of life after 91 years with 69 useful years of that time being spent in this city. He is Fred Lynch, Sr., who resided on the Clinton boulevard. His death came late Tuesday night after an illness of several weeks. Funeral services will be held Thursday afternoon.
Mr. Lynch was in young manhood when he moved to Jackson just after the Civil War and he was one of the first members of the early volunteer fire department that served the city’s needs in those pioneer days. His birthplace was London, England. He was a devout member of the Catholic church and a member of the Odd Fellows lodge, and had been a prominent figure in Capital City activities for many years.

The grandchildren include Lawrence Lynch, Willie Lynch, Albert Lynch, Will F. Lynch and Barry Lynch, all of Jackson; Lieutenant Fred R. Lynch of Randolph Field, Texas, and two married granddaughters in Texas.
