While she was yet a child her parents moved from Nebras-' ka City and homesteaded just west of Adams. Here she grew to womanhood. On March 15, 1881, she was married to Frank H. Lyons of Connecticut. Thus with the exception of about two years spent in Connecticut she has lived in our community since her early child hood. Mrs Lyons leaves husbandIand seven children, the oldest of the lat ter being IT and the youngest not quite one year old. Her parents, MT and Mrs Fred Grund, who reside in Adams, one brother, Hiram Grund, of Holt County, Nebraska, and one sister, Mrs Burt Van Beck of this place, survive her. Mrs Lyons last illness was long and painful. A child of many sorrows, she has laid her burdens down. Her release came and she said My work is done." To her patient little daugh- ter and nurse, Elsie, she left with her dying breath this precious legacy, 'Elsie has done her duty" She had realized for some time that death was near. To her pastor she had expressed her trust in Jesus. On the night be- fore her death with Miss Blanche Dixon she repeated the Lords prayer, "Our Father which art in heaven" On the 18th day of March she was married and just 21 years afterwards she died. Marriage, one step, death. ''Truly we must needs die, and are like water spilled upon the ground which cannot be gathered up again." The funeral services were held in Methodist church, Sunday afternoon, at 2.30 o'clock and were conducted by Rev Duke Slavens, after which the re- mains were inferred in Highland cem- etery. The attendance was very large and the floral tributes were many and beautiful. Mir Lyons and family have the sympathy of the entire commun- ity in their great sorrow.1Adams (Neb.) Globe.
