It probably was printed in the Bowling Green, Ky. newspaper. February 11, 1909 DEATH OF MRS. MARY LYON From Cancer This Morning At Her Home On Eighth Street In This City Mrs. Mary R. Lyon died this morning at 8 o'clock at her home on Eighth street in this city. She had been ill for some time of cancer and her death was not a surprise. Mrs. Lyon was 50 years of age and is survived by three children. Ernest and Oscar Lyon of this city , and James Lyon of Dallas Texas. She had been for years a member of the Christian church and was a good woman, whose death will be sincerely regretted. The funeral services will be conducted from the residence to- morrow morning at 8 o'clock by Rev. F.J. Fenstermacher, pastor of the Tenth street Christian church, and the interment will follow in the graveyard at Mt. Lebanon church near Alvaton. Thought someone might benefit. Thanks Alot.
