Comments: Mabel Elizabeth Lynch (Nee: Lanham) | Girard IL United States | 1901-1920 | Comments: I have two old photographs indicating that they belong to the ROLAND and LYNCH Families. The photographs included in this grouping are as follows:
#1 - Dell LYNCH (believe that this is Della E. LYNCH) with Effie and Vada ROLAND (believe that they are Effa and Nevada ROWLAND) which was taken in the early 1900's with the three young women in their teens or 20's, identified as "Cousins", no studio or location identified
#2 - Mae (believed to be Mabel Elizabeth LANHAM) & Will LYNCH, also taken in the early 1900's I believe, no studio or location, noted as "My Cousins", couple appears to be in their 20's or 30's.
Based on limited research I was able to gather the following information regarding those identified in the photographs:
Effa “Effie” Sarah ROWLAND was b. 23 Jan 1885 in Concordia, KS to parents Calvin Rooter ROWLAND (1847-1909) and Sarah Jane KLEPPER (1851-1899) who were married 4 Mar 1884 in Holmesville, NE. Effie had one sibling, a sister Nevada “Vada” Elizabeth ROWLAND (1888-1990).
Effie married Alonzo LAYMAN (1877-1961) on 18 or 21 Jun 1924 in Alameda County, CA or Nebraska and they had a daughter, Mary Ruth LAYMAN NELSON (1927-2005). Effie died 16 Jun 1969 in Santa Cruz County, CA and is buried in the Good Shepherd Cemetery in Huntington Beach, CA.
Nevada “Vada” Elizabeth ROWLAND was b. 14 Aug 1888 in Cloud County, KS to the same parents and married Harry Leslie ROBERTSON (1885-1963) on 20 Apr 1909 in Lexington, NE. The couple had one daughter Helen Vere ROBERTSON (1911-1982). Vada died 26 Jul 1990 in Santa Cruz County, CA.
Delcie or Della E. LYNCH was b. 19 Jan 1885 in Girard, IL to parents Emery Wickliff LYNCH (1842-1924) and Susan Elizabeth “Lizzie” KLEPPER (1846-1928). Della was one of 5 children born to this couple including Lula or Lulie; James; Baby Girl; William “Will” Henry; and Delcie or Della E. LYNCH, all born between 1868 and 1885. The family moved to Filley, NE in 1889 and in 1894 the family moved to Nora, NE.
Della married three times, first to James C. LANHAM (1849-1926) on 7 Jan 1920 in Geneva, NE and second to George L. TATE (1874-1955) on 16 Sept 1928 in Nora, NE, and third to Lawrence SMITH on 22 Jun 1960 in Nelson, NE. Della died 5 May 1975 in Superior, NE and she is buried in the Nora Cemetery in Nora, NE. When she died her only surviving family member was a nephew, Bill LYNCH of Nora, NE.
William “Will” Henry LYNCH was b. 25 May 1874 in Girard, IL to the same parents. Will married Mabel “Mae” Elizabeth LANHAM (1887-1976) on 4 Jan 1905 and they had two children including William Vick LYNCH (1916-1916) and Bill Lanham LYNCH (1920-1996). Will died 22 Apr 1962 in Superior, NE and is buried in the Nora Cemetery in Nora, NE.
Will’s wife Mabel or Mable was b. 27 Feb 1887 in Nora, NE to parents Hamilton Edward LANHAM (1857-1941) and Sarah Adeline LUCAS (1861-1945). Mabel was one of 7 children born to this couple including Opal Pearl; Myrtle Ellen; Clarence Pete; Mabel “Mae” Elizabeth; Benonie or Benjamin “Ben” Hoblet; Ralph Edward “Ed”; and Claude or Claud Shelby LANHAM, all born between 1881 and 1892.
Mabel died 1 Aug 1976 in Superior, NE and is buried in the Nora Cemetery in Nora, NE. She was survived by her son Bill and two sisters, Myrtle WOODHEAD of Nelson, NE; and Opal Pearl COLES of Long Beach, CA.
I’d like to get the photographs to a family member and would appreciate you contacting me if you are a member of this family or know someone who might be.
Thanks,
