from Connellsville, Fayette Co, PA
"At the time of her second marriage the children of Mr. Lyon by his first wife were quite young, the eldest fifteen years and the youngest three years of age. She assumed the charge of this family of seven children, and was to them a true, loving and faithful mother. She won their love in childhood and received from them the same love and respect they would have given their own mother had she lived." [GPHFC, 682]
