One of the members of the law firm of Martin, Murphy & Lynch was William A. Lynch, who was a native of Virginia, where he was born in 1846.  His parents moved west in 1849 and settled in Mount Pleasant, Henry county, Iowa.  There Mr. Lynch attended the Iowa Wesleyan College, read law in Mount Pleasant one year, and then entered the law department of the Iowa State University, from which he graduated in 1871, locating in Davenport one year later.  He became very sucessful at the bar.  He voted the democratic ticket but avoided politics.
