At Norfolk, Goth ultimo, Mr. Daniel Lyon, ma
tive Of Woodstock, Con. and more recently Of this
town, where he received in the Counting House of
his brother, a mercantile education. In earlier
days, it was good fortune to enjoy intimate
quaintaDce with this gentleman, and the happiness
we tasted, and the joys we partook of whilst with
him rowing around the circles of society, will
be forgotten. He was a friend, generous and sin
cere; and his attachments were as lasting as his
istence. Noble spirited, aud enterprising, af-
ter he arrived at majority, he embarked for the
south, where he wandered in pursuit of suitable
place to establish himself as a merchant, and fhaly
fixed upon Norfolk. At the commencement of bu-
siness il was his good fortune to secure the conf
dence of the community, and in little period, he
was ranked among the most respectable merchants
ofthat city.
The language of private friendship fails, when
attempting his Eulogy, and in offering the tribute OF
regard to his memory, we close with the following
encomium from the pen Of the Editor Of the Norfolk
Herald,
"Mr. Lyon was native Of Woodstock Con. and
established himself in this town about ten years
ago, in the pursuit Of commerce. II his diligence
industry and skful enterprise were admired, not
less so were the candor, integrity and liberality
which characterised all his transactions, and which
united with an affabe and unassuming department
gained him unlimited confidence and universal es-
TEEN. That success which seldom fails to attend
the really deserving, accompanied him in all his
erta kings, and it ha, often been remarked, that
few more such enterprsing spirits would soon re.
store its ancient consequence TO the suffering CON-
merce of our town. But his career of usefulness is
suddenly cut short; the pride Of onr commercial
hopes is laid low.
"The deep interest manifested throughout our
community in the fate Of this estimable citizen du-
ring his distressing Illness and the general and SIM
cere expression of sorrow which followed the an
nouucement Of his death, speak more einphaticaliy
the excellence of his character and the usefulness
Of his life. than the most studied eulogy. To his
.m;abe ,v;dow beref OF the best OF husbands, Lam
cuaoe can convey no consolation for so irreparabe
a loss-for visitation 50 keepy affecting"
