Elijah Lyons Adventurous Life

The Springfield Republican of last Sunday has the following interesting i article in regard to a native of this sec tion:
 Easthampton now numbers among it's oldest residents man who is well known to the people of Hampshire and Hampden eounties-Elijah Lyon, who has come in his S9th year to live with his daughter, Mrs. George Ev erett Searle. MT. Lyons wide ac' quaintance with the farming people is due to the fact that he combined with other interests of an active and sue cessful life the practice of horse doe tor. In the days when Mir. Lyon was engaged In this work, it brought him into contact with the prosperous peo- pie of the cities land large towns, as well as with the farming people, in a way which would now be offered by keeping a garage. In the course of a long conversation, Mir. Lyon did not once refer to himself as having been a
 
 approval of the more thorough train- ing which is nbw expected of those who wish to engage in the medical and surgical treatment of horses and other animals, but, when he took up this work, before he had reached the age of 70, it was the custom to learn II by doing 1t, with such assistance as might be obtained from those engaged in similar work, and the animal doc tor was always called horse doctor. When the country was less thickly settled, the horse doctor was won't to travel about and was always a well come visitor, who was treated with the consideration due 10 one engaged in the important work of keeping in order the principal means of transpor- tation. Mir. Lyon's other activities have included stage driving, farming, numbering, the operation of mill, the culture of silk worms and the curing of tobacco. He was possessed of an alert disposition 10 take hand in whatever was going on, and even en- listed for service in two wars. But the first was not much Of war, being Doris rebellion in Rhode Island, and the second, though good deal of war, being the Civil war of 1881, did not give him chance for service, be- cause he was rejected by the physical inspectors.
 Mir. Lyon was born in Ashford, Ct., September 2s, fsas, the son of William and Betsy wiggs Lyon. He had the usual experience of country boys in at tending district school in winter and working on the farm in the summer lie early showed an adventurous in- clination by running away from home with his brother, George Lyon, when he was i6 years of age. This was not the result of hard life on the farm, for such life was the common and ex- pected lot of all farm boys in those days, but was due 10 resentment con- corning the will of a relative, which the boys regarded as being unjustly discriminating.
 Elijah Lyon worked al farming in Southbridge for time, and then went to West Springfield, where he entered the employ of stage company. The care of horses, which then fell to his
Putnam patriot., 1913-04-18

] lot, was what prompted him to take
 up the work of horse doctoring. He
 gained a practical knowledge of equine anatomy by dissecting the carcasses of ] horses that died in the service, and
 soon acquired a reputation for skill in
 animal treatment and surgery. He
 travelled widely in following the work of A horse doctor, going at various times through New York state, PeHn- sylyania, and what was then the far
 western states, sometimes having In dians for his companions and guides.
 While he was living in West Spring field the theory that the growing of mulberry trees and culture of silk
 worms could be successfully carried on in this country gained considerable ground, and Mfr. Lyon paid thirty cents apiece for quantity of buds of the mulberry tree, but his experiment met with the same fate that befel simi- lar ventures in Florence and elsewhere.
 It is the claim of Mir. Lyon that he and his partner, J. 0. Moseley, were the first to undertake the curing of to- bacco by the sweating process. A sis ter of Mir. Moseley went to Cuba, 10 ob- serve the method of curing tobacco there. The West Springfield experi. ment first followed the method of plac- ing tobacco in bales, but this did not oNarennae its tapAancv fo hraak mn IT was then placed in hogs-heads, but, finally, the best results were secured by placing 1t in cases. For three or four years preceding ls60, Mir. Lyon hired and operated farms in different places, including the Capt. Ayers farm on the Chesterfield road in Northamp- ton, tarm in Westhampton, and the Munson farm of 700 acres in Hunting ton. In 1860 lie settled in Southamp- ton. When the war broke out MT Lyons oldest son, Marcus F., enlisted and died in the service in New o. leans. Mr. Lyon himself enlisted, but did not pass the physical examination. Mir. Lyon bought farm in Southamp. ton, and during the war did a eonsid- erable business in getting out ship timber. In 1867 he bought the present Lyon sawmill and gristmill business in Southampton, where flour, as we'll as meal, was formerly produced. MT. Lyon operated the mill until 1888, when he turned the business over to his sons, and few years later moved to Holyoke, where he lived until he went to live with his daughter in East- hampton few months ago.
 MT. Lyon was married November 2s, ls4i, to Eunice M. Clapp of Southamp- ton, who died December ?, 1905, in Holyoke. Five children were born to them, Marcus E., who died in service in the Civil iwar; William of South ampion, George H., who has been rep resentative to the General Court from the End Hampshire district, but Is now living in Springfield; Eva, wife of George Everett Searle of Easthampton; and Charles 0. of Southampton. MT. Lyon is 6 second cousin of General Ma thaniel Lyon of Civil war fame, and, if he did not himself prove the posses sion of The military spirit 1t was not his fault. The Doris rebellion episode of MT. Lyons life came when he was living in Southbridge, and was due to his sympathy with the causes which led to the uprising

AUTOMOBILE
And CARRIAGE
In COLLISION

An automobile proceeding along
Delaware avenue struck a horse and
carriage at Delaware avenue and
Adams street on Saturday night. The
carriage was overturned and the two
occupants we're thrown into the
street and bruised.
The carriage was being driven from
Adams street into Delaware avenue
from the north at the time Of the col
lision. The automobile was going
westward, and the view of the car
riage was obscured by the stone wall
along the Adams street side Of the
Wilmington and Brandywine Gene
terry. The result was that before the
occupants of the automobile and Of
the carriage saw each other, the col
lision between the vehicles could not
be avoided. The automobile hit the
carriage just as It turned from be-
hind the stone wall into Delaware
avenue.
The force of the impact was suffi-
cient to overturn the carriage. The
automobile also was damaged
This is the second accident within
two weeks at Delaware Avenue and
Adams street. that has been caused by
travellers along Delaware Avenue be-
ing unable to see vehicles approach
ing southwark from Adams street, be-
cause of the cemetery wall, and
also because drivers along Adams
street cannot see vehicles approach
ing westward along Delaware Avenue
The names of the auto owner an,
Of the occupants Of the carriage coul,
not be learned.
