Stone Bridge
I was born in Susquehanna in 1932 and resided with my parents, Alice and Raymond Lyons on Washington Street, (west hill). Due to the economy, my father was forced to relocate in Audubon, NJ, Near Camden. However in subsequent years, I had the good fortune to be able to return to my "Home Town". I especially remember the centennial celebration held in Lanesboro in 1948. The year the Stone Bridge was 100 years old. My Paternal grandfather was Dr. Ray Lyons who practiced as general practitioner there until his death in 1944. I visit the "Stone Bridge" every time I am in the area. I also discovered the name "LYONS" had been carved in one of the arches on the East end of the bridge. I remember JA Tower at the Jefferson Div. cutoff and also the Coach shops and the Engine terminal complete with 13 stall Roundhouse in Susquehanna. We also always try to go to The Depot for Dinner, whenever we are in town. Back in 1948, when things were happening down there, I used to go there to get my haircuts so I could watch the trains go through, the barber was Leon Bagley.
