General Notes: Husband - Thomas Harvey Lyon
Linden, Washington Co, PA
He was reared and educated in Greene County, Pennsylvania, until twelve years old, when he learned the trade of a carpenter, which he commenced to work at regularly at the age of eighteen years, following the same until middle life, when he laid away the chisel and the plane for the plow and the harrow. He was a most industrious man, many times working half the night and all day, even occasionally, when things were pressing, spending an entire night at his bench. He was always a firm Democrat, and rendered efficient service to his party without being an office-seeker, but was township election judge and township clerk twenty years. In 1862 he was appointed postmaster at Beck's Mills, which office he held over thirty years, and which he resigned in 1891. He was an attendant of the Presbyterian Church, and was a trustee of the same several years. He was a strict Prohibitionist, believing intemperance the greatest of curses.
