A township committeeman for the Triple-A program, Mr. Lyon was a sincere booster for the farmer and he gave generously of his time and efforts to promote agricultural progress.
He was well-liked by his neighbors in the county, who regard his untimely death as a personal loss among them. He was a friend on whom they depended and he was one of Palo Alto county's popular citizens, contributing much to the community in which he lived.
To his family and other relatives, sincere sympathy is offered in his death.
