Butte Gazette, 1918

     A military funeral was held Sunday afternoon in the lodge hall in honor of Lynch's first soldier, Frank Carrol (sic), who gave his life for his country over there.  The hall was packed to a standing room.  A laage (sic) number of home guards were present and a short program given which was led by Sgt. Dawson.  The people of Lynch and community join together in sympathy with Mr. Carroll and family over their loss.

    The loss is great,

      But not in vain,

    He died a hero,

       We'll not complain.
