July 19, 1911: Found Dead in Cellar: Michael Lynch Suffers Shock and Expires While Downstairs Tuesday
Michael Tarpey went to Manchester, N.H. Monday, to be at the bedside of a dying father, only to return to Marlboro Tuesday night to find a dead father-in-law in the person of Michael Lynch, who died in the cellar of the house, 78 Highland St., where he was stopping with his son-in-law and daughter. He went into the cellar about 3 o'clock and when his daughter, Mrs. Michael Tarpey, arrived at 8, she missed him. With E.F. Russell and Joseph Gordon, she found him lying in the cellar. Dr. Kelley was called, but found the man dead. Medical Examiner Hoitt, who was called, said that death was due to an apoplectic shock. The body was later taken upstairs in the Tarpey apartment.
