Notes for Jerimiah Francis Lynch:
William Lynch, son of Jerry F. Lynch relayed this story to me:
Because Jerry F. voted Republican (not democratic...William/Bill did not remember how Jerry F. was 'found out' to have voted Republican!) Jerry F. was demoted from Captain of Fire station to a "hoseman" way out in the country (edge of city limits). William/Bill's father-in-law, Clarence A. Williams b. 1873), was a good friend of David Lawrence (b. 1889). Clarence and "Davy" played billiards together. A meeting was arranged between William/Bill, Jerry F. and Davy Lawrence. Davy Lawrence told them "You were never here!" and within a few weeks Jerry F. was reinstated as Fire Captain as if the demotion never happened. In 1934 David Lawrence was State Chairman of the Democratic Party.
Davy Lawrence was working-class Irish catholic born in the Golden Triangle neighborhood of Pittsburgh. Clarence Williams was a patent attorney in Pittsburgh. Not sure what exactly brought the two together as friends.
Davy Lawrence went on to be DEMOCRATIC Mayor of Pittsburgh (1946-1959) & Governor of PA (1959-1964). This apparently happened between 1937- 1943.
