Old LyonsOld Lyons (CD)

Disc: $10.50

Data CD of documents pertaining to the people and area of Lyons, Texas. DeWitt Clinton Lyons founded the village of Lyons in 1842 when he erected a store on the Keziah Cryer League. The store was located near the middle of the league on the stage road running from Victoria, passing through Hallettsville, Oakland, Lyons, High Hill, La Grange, and Round Top on its northward journey. When the railroad line bypassed the area in the 1870’s, the residents began to move away. By the mid-1870’s the town had practically vanished from the map with only a few farmers remaining in the area. (Additional information may be found in the book Navidad Country which is available for purchase.)
