He was a member of the U.S. House of Representatives, representing Wisconsin's 8th congressional district during the 53rd Congress (1893–1895).

Lynch and Charles Barber of Oshkosh. He finished his legal education at the law department of Columbia College, in New York City, graduating in 1876. [2]

He immediately returned to Wisconsin, moved to Appleton, Wisconsin, and was admitted to the bar there later that year. He formed a law partnership in 1877 with John Goodland, father of future governor Walter Samuel Goodland. In 1882, he moved to Rockledge, Florida, and practiced law there for about five years before returning to Appleton.
