Shopiere Cemetery, Shopiere, WI (Emma and Giles (next to each other) and Delance are in same block.); [The Mystery Solved - The Body of the Man Found In the Race Identified as That of Charles Lynch - (...) But that is stronger corroboration of the belief. Mr. Giles Fonda, of Shopiere, in whose family Mrs. Lynch and her son have lived off and on for many years, came to the city today. The description of the body as taken on the minutes of the coronor's inquest, was read to him, and he declares that it tallies precisely with the description of Lynch. He had the same tatoo on his arm, the same scar on his head, was of like build and weight, and his clothing was fully identified. Mr. Fonda saw Lynch on the 7th of last December when the Suell case was called up. Lynch was sadly under the influence of liquor. Mr. Fonda went with him to Sim & Pete's store, and Lynch there purchased a pair of rubbers, saying at the time that he had better buy them before he spent all his money. It will be remembered that on the man's feet were a pair of new rubbers, Mr. Fonda also identified the red handkerchief and the pocketbook. In fact the identification is so complete that there can be little doubt about it. (...) Janesville Gazette 3-19-1879] >> www.fonda.org <<
