Lyons Cemetery
Lyons Cemetery is located in Fairview Township in Section 8. If you are going south on Route 97, turn right on Lyons Road (3450N). The cemetery is at the intersection of Lyons Road and Swegle Road (1350E). Many heartfelt thanks to the person who takes care of this cemetery!
This cemetery was hit by a
tornado on May 14, 1961.
Unfortunately the oldest part of the cemetery was hit the hardest.
