DELOS E. LYON, one of the oldest members at the Dubuque County Bar who is now successfully engaged in practice in Dubuque, claims New York as the state of Ills nativity. He was born in Cattaraugus County, on the 14th of November 1832, and comes of one of the old New England families. His grandfather, Joseph C. Lyon, was a native of Connecticut, was of English descent and served in the Revolutionary War. His son, Jonathan H., father of our subject, was also born in Connecticut, and became one of the early settlers of Cattaraugus County, N. Y., where he followed merchandising and manufacturing, He married Harriet Perkins, a native of the Empire State; she was a daughter of Caleb Perkins, who was also one of the heroes of the Revolution and was descended from an old English family.

We now take up the personal history of D. E. Lyon, who is both, widely and favorably known in this locality. He is the fifth in order of birth in the family of six children. His boyhood days were passed in the county of his nativity, where he attended the public schools and later he entered the Buffalo Academy, they’re prosecuting his studies for some time. Subsequently he went West and entered Oberlin College, in which he spent the three succeeding years of his life. On the expiration of that period he returned to his home in New York, and was engaged in the commission and mercantile business for five years, during which time he also studied law, for it had become his determination to enter the legal profession. He was graduated in the same class with Grover Cleveland, on the 18th of May, 1858, After being admitted to the Bar he took a trip through several states and finally chose Dubuque as the scene of his future labors, locating in this city in the autumn after his graduation.

Mr. Lyon here opened a law office on the corner of Fifth and Main Streets, and has their done business for the past thirty-six year's. He practices in all the courts, county, state and federal, and is one of the oldest members in years of continuous practice of the Dubuque County Bar.

In 1859 Mr. Lyon married Miss Cecelia A. Howard, of Fremont, Ohio, who died in November 1866, after having had three children. In January, 1868, he was united with Miss Eunice A. Taylor, of Dubuque, and unto them have been horn two children. They reside at No. 1005 Bluff Street, and there have a pleasant home, whose hospitable doors are ever open to the reception of their many friends.

Mr. Lyon is a stanch Republican in politics. He cast his first Presidential votes for John C. Fremont and has since been a stalwart supporter of the principles of the party. Several public offices have been tendered him but were declined; he has never entered the political arena for office, preferring to give his entire attention to his law practice which engrosses the greater part of his time. He is a most able practitioner and his high reputation is justly deserved.
