One of Gainesville’s earliest residents, Louis Lynch, was Gainesville’s postmaster for many years. He enlisted in World War I with his son, William Haisley Lynch. Haisley was a part of the famous Forty-Second Rainbow Division. He was the only resident of Alachua County that died in actual combat in World War I. His mother, Mary Helen Beville, donated the park to the City of Gainesville in honor of her late son. Her grandparents were among the founding families of Gainesville.
