FORMERLY IN BUSINESS IN SHOW
HEGAN.
Reuben f. Lyon is Now Deceased,
Having Passed Away In 1892.

We are privileged this week to pub
lish something of the life of the late
Reuben E. Lyon through the courtesy
of II. NJ. Doran of Portland. Mr.. Ly-
on was for over forty years a well
known business man of Skowhegan.
One of the incidents occasioned by
his life here was the naming of the
fire engine for him which bears the
title of THE r. E. Lyon
Mr.. Lyon was born in Newton,
Mass, October, %, 1909, and remained
in that place unNl he was sixteen. He
then went to Union, Me, and learned
the trade of paper making. Only the
laborious hand process was then in
vogue. At tweuty-one he went into
business for himself, He remained
there until the mill was burned Nov.
6, 1873. He then removed to Port
land and opened a paper warehouse.
He built the dam and erected the
first paper mill at Cumberland Mills
on the PresumpsCot river in what is
now the city of Westbrook. These
mills have been greatly enlarged in
recent years. and are now owned
by S. D. Warren and Company.
They are rcputed to be the largest in
the world.
The honor of their foundation be-
longs indisputably to Mr.. Lyon. In
June 1854, he removed to SkoWhegan
and purchased an interest in a paper
mill Here in company with A. and
p. Coburn he run the mill day and
night until 1880 shutting down only
for needed repairs. At that date he
retired from active business and
spent in we'll earned rest the closing
years of a busy, useful and honorable
life. He gave over fifty years to the
important industry of paper manu-
facture and was widely known and
esteemed in the business circles of
the east He was a man of kindly
spirit and beneficient life. He was
public spirited to an unusual degree.
1t is by no means a common occur
rance for husband and wife to die
with so little time intervening, as to
admit of their burial taking place at
the same time Mr. Lyons death oc-
CURED March 22nd, his wife's 23rd, of
March, 1892.
