General Notes: Husband - Morgan Lyon

---

His education was obtained at common schools, and for some time he taught school in his own neighborhood; when not teaching he worked with his father in the mill.
For a number of years he followed droving, buying stock in Ohio and western Pennsylvania and driving it across the mountains to the Eastern cities. In 1862 he opened a store of general merchandise at Lone Pine, Pennsylvania, and at the same time and place owned and operated a coal mine. Here he continued in business (which proved to be very profitable) until 1869, when he sold out and moved to Moniteau County, Missouri, and purchased the farm upon which he lived until his death. Politically, he was a Whig, and after the organization of the party he became a Republican, being always interested in public affairs, and intensely loyal. He was especially earnest in promoting the welfare of the public schools, was a great reader, well posted on the general topics of his time. He was always an earnest believer in the Christian religion, and died strong in the faith.
