(see CENSUS(1) below !REMARKS: The following were copied from newspaper clippings in a scrapbook belonging to Florence Marie PENDERGAST RIN 7, grandmother of the compiler and granddaughter of Eliza A. LITTLE. (Scrapbook is in RIN 7 file folder of the compiler): MRS. JAMES LYNCH Death of the Oldest Roman Catholic in this County Word was received here yesterday, announcing the death of Mrs. James Lynch, at the home of her daughter, Mrs. E. D. MURRAY, in Chicago. The sad event occurred on Saturday evening. Deceased was visiting her daugh- ter at the time. Mrs. Lynch was the oldest Catholic in Onondaga county. She was born in New York city ninety- one years ago, and came to Syracuse in 1825. At that time there was not a Catholic church in this vicinity. Mass was celebrated only once a month by a visiting missionary. Mrs. Lynch was an ardent member of that faith, and most prominent on account of her charity and zeal. The monthly religious service were held at her house at which gathered the handful of Catholics then living here. Her husband, James Lynch, died in 1871. !CENSUS(1): 4 June 1870 Beloit WI - Dwelling 81 Murray, Edward 54 M W Traveling 15000 500 St New York Mary J. 50 F W Keeps house St New York Lila L. 23 F W At home Wisconsin Thomas P. 18 M W Dry Goods Clerk Wisconsin Mary J. 15 F W Attends school Wisconsin John S. 13 M W Attends school Wisconsin Powers, Lucy 70 F W Lives with family St New York Dauly, Maggie 17 F W Domestic servant ST New York !CENSUS(2): 16/17 Jun 1880 Chicago, Cook, Illinois Murray, Edward D.

Murray are obviously brother and sister as evidenced from the Beloit 1870 census - not husband and wife. Too, for Frank H. Barry to be son-in-law of Edward Murray, his wife, Lulu P., would have, necessarily, been Edward's daughter. She would have been 17 years of age in 1870 in Wisconsin and could have possbly been married to Frank Barry and no longer living with her parents. Further research is needed to see if she was a daughter of the Murrays.
