A BRIEF HISTORY OF THE LYON MEMORIAL FUND. 



According to the will of Theodatus T. Lyon, of South Haven, for many 

 years the honored president of the Michigan State Horticultural So-

 trust for the State Horticultural Society until such time as the said 

 Society should raise or have in hand a permanent fund of five thousand
