She has one son, Dennis, in Iowa Falls, and two sons by her second husband now living in Wyoming: James in Casper, and Mike elsewhere in the state.

In the cow-boy days, Mother Lynch had to take care of the cow-boys as well as the railroad beys. Familiar figaires in those days included the McShanes, especially Tom, a cousin of John McShane. Jim Shaw was another figure. One of her sons, Mike, was a cow-boy for the Bay-State Company. Merrell Wyman was another well known cow-boy. John Snodgrass was a familiar figure with the Creighton-McShane outfit. He moved from here to Springfield where he died. John Creighton used to come in and always had a satchel of chocolate and that was his medicine when not in a hospital. Dr. Mockett brought Dr. Lord up from below Sidney and introduced him to Mrs. Lynch. Dr. Lord had come to Sidney to operate upon a patient and when he inquired about Mrs. Lynch and found out she was at Kimball he came right up.

Mrs. Lynch recounts that Kimball has remained a pretty dry county through all its history and never had a real bad fight or had anybody killed in a drunken brawl.

County Division

The agitation for a division of Cheyenne county started rather actively as early as 1884." One of the leading spirits in 'this movement was Theo. Menges, a real estate agent at that time. He unceasingly and untiringly canvassed this question. He later died in Chicago, as president of Western Dental College, one of the largest institutions of its character in the country at the time.
