LYON COUNTY GENEALOGY

 

 

PUBLIC TELEPHONES

Among the modern improvements, none is a greater factor for making people near neighbors than the electric telephone, now forming a complete network over this county.  Every town and hamlet in Lyon County, besides multiplied hundreds of country homes, are now provided with telephone lines, over which people daily and hourly converse, from one remote part of the county to another.  The first line was installed at Rock Rapids in 1895.
