The Lyons Herald, December 4, 1919
Mrs. Lydia Torrey was born in Flint, Michigan February 11, 1854 and died at 
the home of her sister at Muir November 30, 1919.  A few weeks ago she was 
taken with what seemed only a severe cold, but as time progressed she appeared 
so ill that a physician was called who pronounced her malady to be pneumonia.  
Even then friends entertained some hope of her recovery, so that when it was 
realized that she was gone it came as a great shock.

Converted at an early age, she endeavored to live a Christian life up to the 
end.  She made her home with her sister for about twenty five years, and about 
fifteen years ago she joined by letter the M. E. church of Lyons, of which she 
remained a member until death.  She was of a sunny disposition and made many 
friends, who remain to mourn her loss.

She was the daughter of Daniel Torrey, who died June 9, 1897, and Esther P. 
Torrey, who passed away October 19, 1919.  She is survived by three sisters 
and one brother; Mrs. Welfare and Wilbur of Flushing, Mrs. Wm. Boyd of 
Brantford, Ontario, and Mrs. C. R. Owen of Muir, where she passed away at the 
age of 68 years, 9 months and 19 days.  Our loss is her gain and she is at 
rest.  

The funeral was at two o’clock this afternoon and interment in the Lyons 
cemetery.
