Lyons, William
Born unknown - Died Mar. 13, 1855
On February 15, 1855, two young men named William Lyons and Samuel Johns, residents of Springfield, met with a most unfortunate accident by the premature discharge of a cannon.
The young men disposed of their claim, had a little jollification prior to their planned departure and got out the big gun for the purpose of giving the inhabitants a parting salute.
By mismanagement on the part of them, while the charge was being rammed down, the load was discharged, taking off William's arm and destroying one of his eyes.
Samuel Johns was badly burned, but he escaped without the loss of limb.
Nearly a month later, William Lyons passed away on a Tuesday evening.
