Mrs. Lyons, who was well known in Carroll, where she had lived for many years, died at 1 o'clock Tuesday morning at the home of her daughter, Mrs. R.M. Wahlgren, in Evansville. She had been in frail health for several years and had been seriously ill for the last fourteen months, having been bedfast more than a year. Her daughter, Mrs. Schroeder, had spent much of that time in Evanston, assisting in her care.

Mrs. Lyons was seventy-four years old. She was born Anna Catherine Eichman, daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Henry Eichman, in Dubuque County, Ia., Sept. 25, 1864. When she was about eleven years old, she came with her parents to Halbur. Until ten years ago, when she went to Evanston to make her home with her daughter, Mrs Wahlgren, Mrs. Lyons had lived in Carroll county. She had made her home with her son and daughter-in-law, Mr. and Mrs. Theodore Schroeder, in Carroll for a long time before going to Evanston to reside.

Survivors include three daughters: Mrs. J.B. Yeager (Clara Mae), Council Bluffs; Mrs. Theodore Schroeder (Pearl), Carroll, and Mrs. R.M. Wahlgren (Helen), Evanston, Illinois; one brother and four sisters. Two sons, Edwin and Wilbur Martin, preceded their mother in death.

Mrs. Wahlgren and son, Donald, will accompany the body here for burial. Mr. and Mrs. J.B. Yeager, who have been at Evanston for the last year while assisting in Mrs. Lyons care, will also be here. They will return to their home in Council Bluffs from Carroll.
