  Grave Marker for A.S. Lyon, 1804-1872

  The gravestone of A.S. Lyon is the end of two journeys. The journey of life and the journey he took around the world. Death, as much as love, holds the most emotional power. For Lyon, his life was full of love and adventure. In death, the people who knew him, and the future generations who come to know him learn of his leisures and travels. We connect with A. S. Lyon because of his passions, his aptitude for travel, and the life he led, Kingston's significance in Lyon's life is best illuminated in his obituary from the London Jewish Chronicle which says, "a resident for forty years on the Island, in which he filled several public offices. His successful services as Deputy Marshal for Surry, especially at the time of the riot, and as chief warden of the Lunatic Asylum – a post which … he filled with unlimited satisfaction to the public – are noticed in terms of deserved eulogium. He was followed to the grave by representatives of all classes of the community."
