Well, I can look through RRRecollections and see what comes up. I don't have any Lyons in my tree though... There is a Otis Lyons that was in partnership John Shadid and T.F. McCoy in a grocery store from about 1915-1920s. He died in the 20s it seems. He was married to Grace Smyre. The store was in Clarksville. Herma Lynn Lyons is mentioned in an article from Cora Bell (Campbell) Wright. She is listing off children that she played with in Clarksville growing up. A John R. Lyons is one of the members of the Friendship Lodge No. 16. This is a sublodge of the Grand Lodge of Texas. Louise Lyons married Russell Roberts on June 14, 1951. Margaret Lyons married James Russell Jackson in 1965. There is a Nina Anne (Coffman) Lyons born 12/12/1883 and died 11/17/1968. Hope one of these helps...
