of their daughter, Mrs. Mary Brown,
who alone survives OF their eight chill

has many children and she reluctantly
consented that her parents be- taken
10 the almshouse. But first their bodily
ailments must be cured. So they were
taken in an ambulance 10 Bellevue Hes
pital. Lynch could walk; his poor wife
was carried into the hospital on a
stretcher. He showed the tenderest
solicitude for her

bearers. and walking beside her he
kept saying: Are you comfortable,

and the doors of the wards were kept
