C., July 9th, 1879, Joseph Lyon, aged 74 years, 6 months and 2 days. Bro. Lyon was one of our oldest citizens, he was a man of strong mental powers until a- about 3 years before his death, his mind from an unknown cause, became im- paired, and he had but few lucid in- tervals until death. About 6 years before his death he was impressed with the necessity of consecrating himself to the service of God; he professed conversion and joined the Methodist Church, and remained faithful until death. He leaves four children to mourn their loss. May they at last constitute an unbroken family in heaven. J. W. R.
