ANACONDA, MONT.--Mrs. Maria Bridget Lynch, one of the old-timers of the city and one of the pioneers of the state, died yesterday afternoon after an illness of long duration, at the age of 76 years. She came to Montana in 1863, crossing the plains with several hundred other settlers during the time that the Indian troubles were so bad. After about a year on the plains, She arrived in Virginia City, to find that her husband had been murdered by the redskins while on his way to meet her. It is said upon good authority that Mrs. Lynch was the first white woman who ever set foot in Virginia City, and that the miners there were so elated over her coming that they treated her and her young baby with all the respect they could show her.
