This and a few homes are about all that's left of the Lynch community. The Handbook of Texas Online has a small
article:
Lynch, on State Highway 35 eight miles west of Emory in western Rains County, was first settled around the time of the Civil War. A school was in operation there by 1904, when it had an enrollment of fifty-four. In the mid-1930s the settlement had a school, a church, and a number of scattered dwellings. After World War II the school closed, and in the early 1990s only a cemetery and a few houses remained.

Note that the highway that runs through here these days is SH 276. It's the same stretch of road, just redesignated.
