Dell LYNCH
Effie and Vada ROLAND
Mae LANHAM
Will LYNCH
I have two old photographs indicating that they belong to the ROWLAND 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 actually 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

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
