Lyon Family. Edgar Harry Lyon & wife Ollie Boyd Lyon lived in Larned, Kansas several years after their married.

Group photo - after much consideration:
Jesse Jones�Lyon is 3rd from left; Hezekiah Harrison 4th from left; Edgar Harry Lyon is far right standing.
The other 4 sons are Hezekiah's by his second wife who is seated 3rd from left.
Young woman�left front is Grace May and next to her is Essie Ruth.
Possibly the man seated is the oldest son James Arthur Lyon - who became an alcholic, in & out of hospitals .
If this photo were taken in 1915 - 2 years before Hezekiah Harrison Lyon died, the youngest girl Essie would be 12 and the oldest girl Grace�would be 31.
The mother Mary Melissa Wise Lyon lived to be 99 years old.
Perhaps the photo was taken 1916 or 1917 making the youngest 13 or 14.
This is my best guess.�

Single man is Edgar Harry Lyon, son of Hezekiah Harrison Lyon.(Hezekiah Harrison Lyon lived in Fort Scott, Kansas & is buried in the national cemetery because he served in Civil War.)

Single woman is Ollie Frances Boyd Lyon - wife to Edgar Harry.

The two sitting are Hezekiah Harrison & Mary Melissa Wise Lyon. The clothing suggests this was taken about 1912. Definitely taken before Nov 1917 because that is when Hezekiah Harrison Lyon died.
