Reflections for Federal Prohibition Agent Howell J. Lynch
Special Agent Lynch, today marks the 86th anniversary of your murder while doing your job. You took on an unpopular law and no matter how you personally may have felt about it; it was the law and your job to enforce it. It’s sad that it cost you your life and took you from those who loved you. We can only hope that those responsible faced true justice for their crimes, if not in this life, then in the next. YOU are a hero.
God Bless and may you continue to Rest in Peace, Brother.

I had heard family folklore about this incident, but
had no idea about the date. I thought he was the
sheriff of the county that contains Gainsboro. Any
details anyone could share about this would be greatly appreciated.
