Breckinridge County Cemetery Book, Vol. one, published in 1991: Custer Cemetery, located near Custer United Methodist Church. LYON, Js. E. November 6, 1874 -- August 17, 1960 husband of Leona M. Leona M. May 7, 1878 -- July 27, 1940 wife of Js. E. I believe his given names are James Edward, called "Edd" Notice that his surname in his obituary is spelled LYONS, but his tombstone spells his last name= LYON. So, LYON is correct. I matched his death date to find him. Peggy Russell This file has been created by a form at http://www.genrecords.org/kyfiles/
