Lynch, Charles
governor. He was governor of Mississippi from 1835 to 1837; his uncle, John Lynch, was the founder of Lynchburg, in Virginia, and his father, bearing his own name, was a distinguished officer in the revolutionary war; the term Lynch law was occasioned by his apprehending and punishing, without legal ceremony or delay, a lawless band of desrepresentative from Iowa to the forty-peradoes and tories who had infested the ninth congress, and re-elected to the fiftieth congress as a republican. LYMAN, JOSEPH, artist, was born July 26, 1843, in Ravenna, Ohio. His more important works are Summer Night; Evening; Moonlight at Sunset on the Maine Coast; Waiting for the Tide; Street in St.
Augustine, Florida.
