General Notes: Husband - George E. Lyon

---

He got his early education in the public schools of Howell, Michigan, and afterwards attended Ferris Institute at Big Rapids, Michigan. He then taught in an academy in Wisconsin until 1906, when he went to New Castle as instructor in the New Castle Business College. A Mr. Welch was the proprietor of the college when Mr. Lyon arrived, but in 1913 the latter, with H. L. Cotton, bought out his interest.
Mr. Lyon did not confine his activities to his college, however. He was a Republican City Committeeman. During the First World War he was an effective and industrious "four-minute" speaker; he helped the Liberty Loan drives and assisted the Red Cross work. He served on the Crippled Children's Committee and other committees engaged in philanthropic work. He was also active in the Young Men's Christian Association and Young Women's Christian Association drives, and other drives to forward the work of local religious and social organizations. He belonged to Mahoning Lodge, No. 243, Free and Accepted Masons; Valley of New Castle Consistory, Ancient Accepted Scottish Rite; and Syria Temple, Ancient Arabic Order Nobles of the Mystic Shrine. He was vice-president of the Rotary Club; a member of the board of directors of the Young Men's Christian Association, a member of the Masonic Club and the Board of Trade. He was also president of the board of trustees of the Central Presbyterian Church.
Mr. Lyon built five houses in New Castle, the last one a beautiful brick residence, with tiled roof, on Euclid Avenue, on a 100-foot lot in New Castle's best residential section.
