William Fredrick Creagh Linch, my grandfather, was born in Turin, GA on September 16, 1885. He is the son of Elijah O Linch and Jeanette Tench Linch. Creagh worked for the US Postal Service.

Creagh married Cora Young ( b July 19, 1888 - d July 16, 1967 ). Cora worked as a schoolteacher and a housewife. They had one child, my mother, Martha Jeanette Linch ( born July 28, 1913 at her grandfather's James W. Young's house in Coweta County, GA ).

They lived in LaGrange, GA for a short time after my mother was born then built their home on Linwood Avenue in East Point, GA, some 80 years ago. My mother has lived there since she was 5 years old. They were active in the East Point Presbyterian Church. There is a stained glass window in the church in memory of my grandmother.

He and his wife are buried at Westview Cemetery in Atlanta, GA.
