    1. [OHSUMMIT-L] LYON Family of Akron
    2. Hi there Buck-eyes ... This is my first posting to your wonderful list ... I just returned a couple of weeks ago from Delaware County, NY ... I wish I lived closer ... Los Angeles is quite a trip ... anyway, the point of my invading your screens is, that on my last trip I made a discovery that I need some assistance with ... I just discovered that Walter Eells LYON (13 Nov 1902-04 Oct 1958) son of Fred Burr LYON and Elizabeth Boice CARSON born in Walton, Delaware Co, NY and died in Akron, Summit Co, OH was married ... who knew? ... he passed before I was born ... and I knew his older sister Esther Louise LYON (18 Aug 1897-02 Jul 1980) also born in Walton, but passed in St. Petersburg, Pinellas Co, FL ... they were cousins to my Mother ... my grandfather Frank CARSON was the youngest brother of Elizabeth Boice CARSON ... Walter & Esther had a younger brother Marvin B. LYON (07 Feb 1909-31 May 1993) also born in Walton, passing in Cobleskill, Schoharie Co, NY ... I believe Marvin never married ... I know Louise never married ... but here is what I just discovered about Walter ... One of my CARSON cousins had a picture of Walter when he was just a wee bit of a boy ... and he had the newspaper clipping giving great detail about his marriage to Doris M. HOLMES (06 Nov 1904-24 Apr 1994) daughter of A. HOLMES at Christ Episcopal Church in Walton. It mentioned Doris' siblings Thelma, Letha, Arthur and R.C.S. Holmes, plus other guests. It doesn't unfortunately give the date. I am looking for anyone with any knowledge of Walter & Doris ... any of their siblings ... or any of their children ... Thanks John A.
