Below is a news story from the death of Luke Lynch (brother of my ggg grandfather and uncle of Bishop Patrick Neeson Lynch). I have typed up the story on the right.

DEATH OF A DESCENDANT OF OWEN ROE O'NEILL

There died, a few days since, near Rosslea, Co. Fermanagh, in thr ninety-sixth year of his age, a man named Luke Lynch, who might with justice, be cited as an illustration of the saying, - "That it is amongst the Irish peasantry the real nobility of the country may be found." Although this man occupied a comparitively humble position in society, he could dwell with pride on the fact, that among the highest and best of historical celebrities of our country he could find his ancestors; and although he was born and lived his lifetime in a retired district, he could trace a direct line of descent from the Red Handed Neill, from Owen Roe, from the O'Reilly's of Cavan and from the McMahons, of Monaghan and Dartry. The deceased had a brother who, about forty years ago, emigrated to South Carolina, and settled at Cheraw, where he became an extensive planter. One of his sons was a major general in the Confederate army, who was prevented by sickness from taking active service. - Another son James, was a colonel, and commanded on James's Island, off Charleston, during some of Gilmore's most determined attacks; he died in the service. Another son is the Right Rev. P. N. Lynch, Bishop of South Carolina, who recently visited Europe on a diplomatic mission for the Government of Jeff Davis, and while here he visited his uncle at Rosslea. At that time his father was in good health, and on a visit with another son, Dr. John Lynch of Columbia, S.C. The deceased man of very considerable talent, and intimately acquainted with every phase of Irish politics. He could freely converse on every political change that came over the country since he saw the volunteers of 1792 under drill. He retained his mental faculties to the last, and aided by every consolation of religion has departed, it is to be hoped, to a better world. - Correspondent of Ulster observer.
