Lyons Herald, 10 Dec 1901

Another of Lyons pioneers has ended his journey to “that Beautiful Shore of the 
Sweet By and By.”  Lyman G. Saxton was born in Erie, Erie county, new York in 
1838.  At the age of 12 years, he came with his parents to Lyons and lived here 
until 1880 when he made Detroit his place of residence.  He was well known in 
Lyons and surroundings and had many warm friends.

His health had been poor for the past 37 years.  Six months ago he placed 
himself under the doctor’s care and at the end of four and one half months was 
removed from his home to Grace Hospital where he died Thursday morning, 
December 12, at the age of 63 years, from the effects of some peculiar kidney 
and stomach trouble not positively known.  The stomach was taken back to 
Detroit to be analyzed.

The remains were brought to Lyons where the funeral took place at the residence 
of his sister, Mrs. Marchal Hamler last Sunday afternoon.  Services were 
conducted by Rev. J.C. Jewell, and the M.E. Choir rendered several beautiful 
and appropriate musical selections.  Interment at Lyons cemetery.  Deceased is 
survived by a wife and son, mother and two sisters.
