Medford (Oregon) Mail Tribune, Fri, 16 Nov 1917, p. 2, c. 4
Once more we bow our heads in sorrow. Once more we are called upon to 
chronicle the demise of our fellow-man. Once more we are reminded of the 
simple fact that our mission on this earth is brief. We are reminded of all 
this in the passing away of George Harry Lynch at his home in Central Point, 
Ore., on Nov. 12, 1917. Deceased died of cancer of the stomach. He was a 
native of Nodaway county, Missouri, having been born in that state. Was 57 
years, one month and 29 days of age. Came to Oregon about 30 years ago and 
lived in Medford, Jackson county, a number of years, afterwards disposing of 
his property in Medford, and locating on a farm near Trail creek in this 
county. He was married to Miss Dora Buchanan Aug. 1, 1893. To this union there 
were three children born. A son, Verner Lynch, a daughter, Miss Vera Lynch 
(both of whom will graduate in the Central Point high school this year), and a 
son, Autumn Lynch, who is also attending grammar school at the same place. The 
death of Mr. Lynch casts a gloom over this entire community. Besides his 
immediate family, he leaves a host of friends to mourn his death. He was a man 
of sterling qualities, was always willing to meet his fellow-man more than 
half way in his business dealings. His policy was to be honest and square, and 
to his intimate friends would sacrifice anything to favor them. To his family 
he was a loving husband and father and always interested in the education of 
his children. And those who knew him best, are willing to give him much credit 
for the guidance of his children and the good results obtained, and for all 
these things told in my feeble way, the writer of these few words can feel 
further than he can talk. We have done all that can be done, by the hand of 
mortal man, and leave the things to be done, in the Great Beyond to Him, who 
controls all things. Rev. Bandy conducted the funeral services at the Antioch 
Cemetery in a sweet and fluent manner, with an extremely good selection of 
words of consolation.
