It is so rewarding to have a town of Lyons founding fathers relative contact me after finding information on the Lyons Township Historical Society web-site regarding their loved one. It assures me that the work I do for the Historical Society is being viewed, utilized and possibly enjoyed by those interested in our town history.
I recently received an email from the wife of Sumner Chapin's great great grandson inquiring about the book that was written in 1947 by Hazel Loomis. While this book is no longer in circulation, I believe there is a copy available at the Wisconsin Historical Society in Madison. I do have plans to either reproduce this publication and/or post the information to the web-site. Watch for updates.
