EPHRAIM W. LYON

South Kansas Tribune, Wednesday, August 27, 1892:

DEATH OF MAJOR LYON

The drums beat "tattooo Lights out." Maj. E. W. Lyon, late of the 8th Michigan, has been "mustered out" and another gallant defender of his country, has joined that grand army which awaits the final reveille. Major Lyon was first known to our people in 1883, when he established the Bulletin at Cherryvale, but before that time had been prominently interested in business in Michigan and Colorado, but ill health and reverses impelled him to try Southern Kansas. He was a gentleman in the highest application of the term, a genial and devoted friend, and one of the most companionable acquaintances. Ill heath compelled him to give up journalism, of which he was one of its brightest ornaments, and he removed to Coffeyville, where under his management the natural gas deposit was discovered and that product utilized for man's benefit. Last year he went back to Colorado for his health, but the fatal consumption followed him at every turn, and he came back with his wife to his son's (W.P.Lyon) home in this city, to die among his loved ones. He was a Christian gentleman whom it was a pleasure to meet. He was a member of the Presbyterian church, and when the summons came was prepared for the charge.

The Star and Kansan, Friday, August 12, 1892, Pg. 3:

Major E. W. Lyon died at the residence of his son, W. P. Lyon, in this city on last Sunday
