To them was born a son, Vern John. The family made their home on farms around Mallard and in 1956 they moved to Laurens. Having retired in the early 1960’s, they came to Rolfe in 1968.
Vern was known for his friendliness. He found much pleasure in the out of doors and enjoyed the various pursuits nature provides. Mirth and harmless humor were very much a part of his life. He was a member of the Rolfe United Methodist Church and the Masonic Lodge in Laurens.
Preceding him in death were his parents, four brothers, and three sisters.
Among those who survive are his devoted wife, Mary, of Rolfe; a son, Vern John Lyon, of Ruthven; a sister, Mrs. Ida Grau, of Emmetsburg; three grandchildren, several nephews and nieces, and many, long cherished friends.
