The Soul is safe in Heaven.”

During the last fifteen years, she had been treasurer of the Bethany home house committee and had been honorary treasurer for the last year. When the Federation of Girls’ Clubs was in existence she served as treasurer.

In 1893 Mrs. Lynd came to Moline, to reside and taught in the Willard school, in Grant school, and in Moline high school. In 1905 she retired, and since coming to Moline had made her home with her brother-in-law, Frank Walker and her nieces, Miss Elizabeth and Miss Louise Walker.
Mrs. Lynd was born in Effingham, Kansas, on November 21, 1867, her maiden name being Miss Nellie O’Meara. On June 6, 1888, she married James Lynd who preceded her in death on October 5, 1888, a few months after their marriage. Surviving her are two brothers, L. L. O’Meara and C. A.

Mrs. Lynd spent her girlhood days in Onaga where she had a host of friends. She will be remembered as a teacher in Onaga school and in other places in the county. Mrs. Lynd was gifted with great ability, coupled with a keen sense of humor and untiring energy, making her a most desirable friend and companion.
Her later years were spent in the home of her brother-in-law, where she has, as nearly as possible, filled the place of mother of the children who were left motherless by the death of their mother. Hers has been a noble life, nobly lived. We who knew and loved her so well felt that her presence among us has been a blessing and her going a benediction.
