The Plymouth Historical
Museum is hosting a tombstone
dedication ceremony for Civil
War veteran Luther Lyon in
Riverside Cemetery at 11 a.m. on
Armed Forces Day, Saturday,
May 20.
Museum personnel worked
with representatives from the
City of Plymouth and the
Veteran's Administration (VA)
during the past few months to
obtain and install the replace-
ment veteran'smarker for Lyon.
“During research for the 2016
Plymouth Ghosts CemeteryWalk,
we discovered that his original
veteran's marker was broken in
half,” said Liz Kerstens, museum
executive director. “So we part-
nered with the City of Plymouth
and contacted proper govern-
mental agencies to acquire a
replacement.
“We are reaching out to Lyon's
descendants with invitations to
attend but so far we are still
awaiting replies,”Kerstens said.
Members of the Sons of Union
Veterans are expected to be in
attendance and other veterans'
organizations have been invited.
“We are delighted to be able to
help, even in this small way, to
honor this Plymouth resident for
his service,”Kerstens said.
This is the second time that
the museum has been instru-
mental in working with the VA to
get a marker for a Civil War vet-
eran. The first was in 2011 for
Albert Nelson Stevens, whose
burial locationhadnomarker.
Rick Danes, a member of the
Sons of Union Veterans and a
Museum volunteer, portrayed
Luther Lyon during the 2016
Plymouth Ghosts CemeteryWalk,
sharing details about his life in
Plymouth in the late 1800s.
Lyon was born in Plymouth in
1842 and eventually served in a
local military regiment, the 1st
Michigan Lancers. The Lancers
were trained in the Napoleonic
warfare method of charging and
spearing the enemy froma horse.
Fortunately they were disbanded
without ever seeing combat.
In January 1864, Lyon and his
brother, Alfred, enlisted in
Company F, 16th Michigan
Infantry. While the two men
missed Gettysburg and Antietam,
they fought with General Robert
E. Lee's army all the way through
Virginia to Petersburg, and then
marched to Washington for the
GrandReview.
Lyon returned to Nankin
Township (now Westland), mar-
ried Mary Phillips and lived on
his farm there until he died in
1908.
The dedication ceremony is
open to the public. Riverside
Cemetery is located directly
behind the 35th District
Courthouse at 660 Plymouth
Road inPlymouth.
The museum is located in
downtown Plymouth at 155 S.
Main St. Hours of operation are
1-4 p.m. Wednesday, Friday,
Saturday and Sunday. Admission
is $5 for adults and $2 for chil-
dren. Visit
ry.org for events and exhibit
information.
We are delighted to be able to help,
even in this small way, to honor
this Plymouth resident for his service.
