Do you know of Lyon Brook ???

This page is an orphan - a placeholder until we can discover more about Lyon Brook. When we encounter a name that is new to us, we add it to our Gazetteer with the hope that we'll discover more information in the future. Such is the case with Lyon Brook.<1>

Our sources for Lyon Brook (see Mentions and References below) indicate that it was a community with a post office by the same name. Unfortunately our sources aren't clear about the location of Lyon Brook other than they indicate that Lyon Brook would be found somewhere in Chenango County, New York.

From the Blevins / Hellbock List: The post office opened  in 1891 and closed  in 1892.
