I'm hoping there is somebody that lives near the Craighead County & Jonesboro Public Library that could look in newspapers for an obituary of my great-grandfather, William Elsworth Lyon. My grandmother, Elsie Mae Lyon, was born Aug. 19, 1911 in Tyronza. When she was a baby, her father passed away from an appendicitis. He was on a business trip and my great-grandmother, Mattie Belle Peters, had to go to a train station to pick-up his body. I tried writing to different cemeteries, called City Hall and another place. No luck. Since Craighead County library serves as the Genealogy Library for Poinsett County, I'm hoping they would have a newspaper with an obituary. And I'm hoping the newspapers were small back then, so it wouldn't be too much research for someone to look in the newspapers from late 1911 to late 1912. I have found lots of information my great-grandfather's family, way back to Indiana, but I can't find my great-grandfather. If someone on the Mailing List can help me with this, please e-mail me directly.
