A letter written by Miss Sidney Lyon, of Jefferson ville, Indiana, 20 March, 1902, mentions a tradi- tion, as coming from two sources unknown to each other, of " three Lyon brothers who were on guard at the scaffold before the Banqueting House at Whitehall the day Charles I. was executed, Jan. 31, 1619.
