By THE OUT EASTER

Charles H. Lynch of Hitchcock's Lake, died during the week and was buried Monday morning. He was the assistant to the Superin- tendent of the Waterbury Court house.
 Now, it may be there are a number of people now in the eastern section of the city who didn't know Charley Lynch, but to those of us out here who spent our boyhood days around this dis trict he was as well-known as any of us, that is the members of the old-time families were ac- quainted with him, and saw him go along in life from year to year; and always liked him.
 There was nothing important, probably in the life of Charley Lynch, any more than there is in the life led by any of us. Each of us paddle our own canoe" as they say, that is we live from day to day, just as we have for many years, go to our work bench daily, come home, meet a friend or two on the street, may stop now and then at the corner store and get into conversation, then go home, eat, sit around the house and listen to the radio, and then go to bed and sleep until we are arous- ed for the regular routine the next day. Oh, how many days we have done this very thing; no advancement, except now and then probably as a straw boss" but to the same old lathe or foot press, and buff wheel we have been used to ever since our first day in factory life. This has been our custom, because we never got chance at schooling, and devot- ed our entire energies solely 10 the "hum-drum' of shop life. Charley Lynch saw us go into the factory right at the start; he was more of an out-door young fellow, and appeared the better for it, as we often told him during the past few years. But, he was stricken, rather suddenly, and while he re- covered temporarily, there was renewed attack, and that was the end.
 Charley Lynch was one of the quietest young men we have ever met. And during all these years. he never changed in this respect. There was never any roughneSS or loud talk on his part. What he had to say, was spoken in 8 gentle and enlightening tone. He knew Old Out East just as we do. He lived up Oak Street way when there were not so many families around as we find now on the newly built extensions to Wolcott Street and Walnut Street. He knew the section in the days when it was possible for all the "kidS" of the east end to climb to the upper part or mountain top" as they called 1t, and view the entire central portion of Wa terbury. That was a hobby for them, and Charley as a rule gen. orally led the way.
 But Whats The Use
 Death has stepped in and taken him away. It is doing the same to many others. Poor old out east feels its sting rather often, too often, for our own good, when you find men of the type of Charley Lynch hit and taken away so suddenly. Charley had lived at the Lake for a number of years now. He was known by many of the people out that way. They liked him just as we all did. Charley was the kind who talked cautiously and carefully. His fife
