FRANK H. LYONS.

    Frank H. Lyons, in the real estate and insurance business at Hammond, has
for a number of years been identified with the industrial, public and business
affairs of this city, where he has practically spent the years of his life. He
is a young man of much ability, alert and eager, and gifted with an energy and
an enterprise which make him influential in his circle of business acquaintances.

    Mr. Lyons was born in Sandusky, Ohio, September 18, 1873, a son of John M.
and Winifred (Conlon) Lyons, both natives of Ireland, and the latter one of a
large family born to Michael Conlon, who was an Irish farmer and died in Ireland
at the advanced age of eighty-five years. The father of John M. Lyons was also a
life-long Ireland farmer, and was about ninety years old when he died. There
were twelve children in his family. John M. Lyons was a general contractor, and
after his migration to America located on Kelly's Island, in Lake Erie. About
1874 he came to Indiana, and a year later located at Hammond, where he has since
lived. He and his wife are members of the Roman Catholic church. They had nine
children, four sons and five daughters, and the five now living are Peter J.,
Frank H., John and Matthew, all of Hammond, and Miss Winifred, of Chicago.

    Mr. Frank H. Lyons was reared in Hammond, receiving his education in the
public schools. He afterward took up the trade of tinner and sheet metal worker,
and followed it for twelve years. He was foreman of the sheet metal department
of the G. H. Hammond Packing Company for five years. From 1898 until 1902 he
held the office of city clerk, and during the same period was deputy clerk of
the superior court. Since leaving this office he has been engaged in the
insurance and real estate business, and has already built up a creditable amount
of business.

    June 26, 1900, Mr. Lyons married Miss Mollie B. Hastings, a daughter of
Thomas and Margaret (Clark) Hastings. They have one son, named Robert F. Mr. and
Mrs. Lyons are members of the Catholic church. Their residence is at 142 Russell
street, at which location they also own another good house. He affiliates with
the Benevolent and Protective Order of Elks and the Maccabees, and in politics
