Iowa County democrat. [volume] (Mineral Point, Wis.) 1877-1938, 1892-10-14

Sept. 20, contains full account of the
death of Mr.. Franklin Watson Lanyon,
cashier of the National Bank of Pitts
burg, accompanied with large por-
trait of the deceased. The paper says:
Big hearted, public spirited, a leader
in everything, Frank Lanyon was to
Pittsburg and its commercial circles,
more than any one man we have ever
known was to any other city. Our
city is particularly sad in the reflection
that we are to meet no more the jolly,
good natured Frank Lanyon. No cit
izen in all our community would have
been missed greater than he. Pitts
burg is sad today and joins with the
grief stricken family over the loss of a
husband and father, in mourning for a
friend.
The old Maybell building,-rart of
which was erected when log houses
were fashionable in Mineral Point -
has been torn down and neat board
fence now encIoses the lot on which it
was situated, and which was purchased
some months ago by William Lanyon,
jr. The large cottonwood tree which
stood in front of the house has been
grubbed out; and what to do with the
stump and roots is a problem which is
puZzling the brain of John Allen, who
has grubbed and cut trees, off and on,
in Mineral Point for the last thirty-nine
years, and who says that he has never
been "bate" by any tree but this
one.

in the banking business in Darlington

an upright man, and many friends
mourn his death.
