TAKEN TO McKEESPORT

The Body of Edward Lynch, Killed at Ohiopyle, Removed to That place for Burial.

The body of Edward Lynch, who was run over and killed by a train at Ohiopyle several nights ago, after he had been put off train No. 10 there for refusing to pay his fare, was taken to McKeesport yesterday on No. 15. A brother-in-law who lives in that city came to Connellsville yesterday morning and identified the remains.

Lynch was well connected in McKeesport. He was the brother-in-law of G. E. Dale, a prominent and well to do citizen of that place who, several years ago, left on a prospecting trip into British Columbia. Dale became lost and nothing has ever been heard of him since.

The Courier, Connellsville, PA 12 May 1907
