Davenport, Scott, Iowa
January 9, 1923

Special to the Democrat
    Fairfield, Iowa. Jan 9 - Missionary to Korea.

William Lyon, son of Mr. and Mrs. Charles Lyon who resides on South Third street, in this city, will leave the middle of the coming summer for Korea where he will work in the mission fields. Mr. Lyon graduated from Parsons College with the class of 1920 and for the past two years had been at Hampton Institute, Hampton, Virginia, taking training for the mission fields.

Parsons college had made for herself an enviable reputation as the years have gone by because of the number of Christian workers which have gone out from the school into foreign fields of service. Mr. Lyon is a talented and popular young man and his progress will be watched with a great deal of interest by many friends.
