Rev. J. W. Lynch
Penns Grove, NJ
Alas, the Sunken Gardens of Gralynn are no more. Originally built as a residence for the Conley family, Salem Graham bought the property, remodeling it and naming it using the first three letters of his name with the last four of his wife's maiden name. Turned into a hotel in the early 20th century, the building was demolished in 1969 and replaced with a strip mall.
Penns Grove, NJ was a fashionable resort town around the turn of the nineteenth century, and only incorporated through an act of the New Jersey State Legislature in 1894, even though Swedish immigrants had settled in the area in the 1600's. Penns Grove has been home to both John Forsythe and Bruce Willis, the latter attending Penns Gorve High School. The town boasts of many churches, many of them old enough to have employed the recipients of this postcard.
Strangely enough, the Reverend J. W. Lynch is hard to pinpoint in Penns Grove. I will update this post with any reply from the Historical Society as to any survivors of Rev. and Mrs. Lynch.
