Katheryne F. (Bulger) Lynch

1871 - 1913

Norwich [Chenango Co., NY]:  The death of Katheryne E. Lynch, wife of John H. Lynch, of Norwich, occurred Saturday afternoon at St. Joseph's Hospital in Syracuse [Onondaga Co., NY], where she had underwent an operation about 10 days before.  Mrs. Lynch had been in poor health for some time before going to the hospital and did not rally from the operation but failed gradually until she passed peacefully away.  The deceased was born in Norwich September 14, 1871, a daughter of Matthew and Bridget Bulger. A few years later her parents moved to Otselic where her girlhood was passed. She had been a resident of Norwich for a number of years before her marriage to John H. Lynch on April 18, 1903.  She was a faithful member of St. Paul's Church and actively interested in the work of the rosary Society. She was so devoted to her husband and home and had so endeared herself to her friends and acquaintances by her cheerfulness and by her noble and generous impulses that she will be sorely missed and her passing away in the summer of her life will be deeply deplored.  Besides her bereaved husband, she leaves three sisters, Mrs. John F. Lee and Mrs. Margaret Hogan of Norwich; Mrs. Reynolds, of South Otselic; two brothers, Hugh M. Bulger, of Sherburne and Matthew P. Bulger, of Norwich.  The remains were brought to her home on Mechanic street Saturday evening.  Funeral services were held from St. Paul's Church on Tuesday morning at 9:30, Rev. Father Prendergast officiating.  There was special music by Misses Florence Debbold and Kathleen Lynch, of Utica; Miss May C. Cox, Mrs. James J. Dolan and Linn H. Babcock, of Norwich.  The services were among the most impressive and most largely attended of any ever held from the church and the floral offerings were among the most profuse and beautiful, the casket being buried in blossoms.  The bearers were six nephews David F., Mathew T., John C. and Robert E. Lee, George Bulger and Gerald Reynolds.
