Wilson, who was born in Mansfield, Ohio, the daughter of Henry and Abi (Mitchell) Wilson, the father a native of England and the mother of Canada. In 1836 he joined the Mormons, went west with them and was never again heard of. They were the parents of two children, Sylvia A., wife of Mr. Lyon, and Hannah M., who was born November 29, 1836. The latter was married, first, in Illinois in 1861, to William H. Masters, and secondly to Wilson R. Mason; she now makes her home with Mrs. Lyon. She became the mother of one child by her first marriage, William, who married Hannah Harris; they live in Alden, Iowa, and have one child, Lucy. She also became the mother of one child by her second marriage, Mary, who married George Lane. Since 1896 Mrs. Lyon has lived in Hardin county, Iowa. Four children were born to Mr. and Mrs. Lyon, of this review, namely: J. Arthur, who has always lived at home; William O. died when eighteen years of age; Charles M., who is farming in Buckeye township, this county, married Rachel Houghtailning, and they have two children, Roland and Thelma. Edgar A. Lyon, who married Tillie Swalve, lives in Buckeye township, and they have two sons, John and Ray. When Mr. Lyon first came to Buckeye township, this county, he began life in typical pioneer fashion, putting up a rude hut sixteen feet square. He had no furniture to begin housekeeping with. They ate off a box and sat on nail kegs, and had no beds in which to sleep. But nothing daunted, they persevered, worked hard and finally became well established. They lived in the old house thirty one-years, then built the present comfortable home and made all the other improvements on the place. Mr. Lyon added to his first land as he prospered, and improved it all. Although an invalid for several years and possessing poor eyesight, he succeeded admirably well; however, his wife was compelled to transact most of his business and read to him. At one time they operated a large dairy and kept a good many fine cattle. Mrs. Lyon is a woman of many praiseworthy characteristics and the possessor of much business ability. She is a member of the Christian church and takes considerable interest in church work, and formerly taught Sunday school. She is well preserved and has kept informed on current topics. Like her lamented husband before her, she has a host of warm friends in this locality. Mrs. Lyon's mother, a noble woman, was twice married, her second husband being Henry Hicks, of DeKalb county, Illinois. He lived there all his life. After 1892 Mrs. Lyon's mother lived with her daughter until her death, in November, 1907, at the advanced age of ninety-one years. She was a faithful Methodist.
