pp 376 - 377:
"LYND, Henry J., was born in Wakefield, R. I., Jan. 20, 1861, and was the third child of Michael and Margaret (McGrath) Lynd. He received his education in the public schools at Peacedale, R. I., and in the town of Lincoln, and was graduated from Scholfield's Commercial College, Providence, in 1880. In 1881 he became a salesman in the Pawtucket store of the Boston & Providence Clothing Co. With Daniel Murphy he established, Aug. 2, 1882, in the Bagley block, under the name of Lynd & Murphy, a store devoted to dealing in boots and shoes, hats and caps, and gentlemen's furnishings. The business prospered, and enlarged quarters were secured April 30, 1885, in the LeFavour block, Main street, and this store was still further enlarged by the securing of more room, April 12, 1888. When High street was widened the firm moved into the Sheldon building, 3 Broad street, July 9, 1896. Lynd & Murphy have always carried on a first-class business, and the firm is now a well-established and recognized Pawtucket house.
Mr. Lynd is a Catholic and is a member of the Church of the Sacred Heart. He belongs to Branch No. 265, Catholic Knights of America, Delancy Council, Knights of Columbus, and the Young Men's Catholic Association. He is also a member of the Court City of Pawtucket, Ancient Order of Foresters. He was married Oct. 21, 1884, to Margaret Callaghan, and they have five children: Nora, b. Aug. 2, 1885; Henry, b. Feb. 19, 1888; Mary, b. Dec. 9, 1889; Joseph C., b. Oct. 15, 1892; and Genevieve, b. Oct. 29, 1894."
