Mr. Lynch had made the development of the Ozarks, and particularly of the region in which he lived, the dream of his ute- time.
KILLED BY GANGRENE
Mr. Lynch was born in Canada but became an' American oltizen. He was to years of age. If's death was caused by gangrene in one 'of his feet due to an Infection about 12 years ago from wearing colored socks. When the Infection became Mious about two weeks ago, he was taken to the hospital in Carth- ago where his daughter. Miss Gene - vleve, is superintendent. He has one other daughter. Mios Miriam, who lives at the home near Marvel cave. The first word was received in Springfield of the death of Mr. Lynch yesterday morning by Mra. C. C.

When in the early 90's Mr. Lynch road stories of the wonders of Mar- vel cave he became so interested! coat 'he came to the Ozarks to visit ; the cave. From that time his love for the cave was a compelling force in his Mfe. He purchased the cave and for several years spent only part of his time there, making frc- quant trips to Canada.
BEFORE RAILROAD DAYS
Those were the days before railroad had been built through the rugged hills of the White Hiver country. The Old Wilderness road! built before the Civil war and over i which Mr. Lynch traveled to his! cave, was not the most accessible | iroad in the country Freighting was done in wagone Ironi Fin.ngfivid And Harrison, Ark. L'ven then. how - Over, the dream of Mr. Linch for; Introducing the wonders of the Ozarks to the world why not to be Haunted. He had a grand opening. god the cave about 1893. A plany was. lowered into the cave, a platform tbuilt and an orchestra hired. Al temporary hotel of ... ] Trolls was partially constructed to ac -! commodate the visitors. Few, how - Hover, came fromi very great distalite. so difficult was travel at the I.h.
