Breckinridge County KyArchives Obituaries

Irvington Herald; 2/1946
Custer-- 

Twyla Lieta Lynch was born near Custer, Ky., in the year of 1926, the 15th day 
of October.  She was called away Jan. 31st, 1946 at the age of 19 years, 3 
months and 16 days.  Those who survive to mourn their loss are:  Pvt. Walter 
Lucas, her Fiance, of Ft. Bliss, Texas; the father, R. T. Lynch, the mother 
Katie Mae Lynch; four brothers and four sisters, they are: Loyde (should be 
Lloyd) Lynch, of McDaniels, Ky.;Floyde (should be Floyd) Lynch, in the Service, 
Veo and Dale Lynch, at home, the sisters are, Zelona, of Peoria, 
Illinois;Vyetta (should be Yvetta), Lovera and Eva Dean, at home.  An infant 
brother preceeded her in death.  There are a great number of relatives, friends 
and acquiantances.

Her departure came as a great shock to all.  She was a graduate of I. H. S. 
class of '45.  On the 23rd day of July 1945, she began to teach at the Drane 
School, of High Plains.  She was well liked and loved by her scholars.  She was 
deeply interested in her work.  On Dec. 19th she became bedfast.

Lieta had always been a faithful attendant in the church services.  In the 
earlier years of her life, she accepted Christ as her Savious (should be 
Saviour), but felt that she had drifted away, and on the 2nd day of January, 
1946, she definitely renewed her covenant with God, and professed faith in the 
saving grace of our Lord and Saviour.  She was taken to St. Joseph's Infirmary, 
Jan. 4th where she remained until she passed away.  She suffered beyond 
expression but yet was sweet and patient.  She prayed and sung, gave 
exhortation and words of warning to others.  As God in His Infinite love and 
wisdom, saw fit to call her away, we humbly say, "Not My Will but Thine Be 
Done."

The funeral service was held at the home, about two miles north of Custer, Feb. 
3rd at 2 P.M.  The song service was rendered by Mrs. Hubert Harned and Mrs. 
Wesley Harrington.  Organ music by Mrs. Hubert Harned and Miss Anna Carman.  
The songs were "Death is Only a Dream", "Jesus Savious Pilot Me", "The Eastern 
Gate", "God Be With You".  The sermon was delivered by Rev. Frank Perkins, 
Pastor of Custer Methodist Church.  The Scripture, Psalm 23, and St. John 14:1, 
2, 3, and the obituary was read by Mrs. Wesley Harrington.  The text was Isa. 
44:22.
