LYON COUNTY GENEALOGY
WHO'S WHO in Lyon County Pastors
1897-1911
This chapter is an attempt to list alphabetically the Pilgrim pastors of
the decades, locating each, and a little more fully sketching a few. The list is not
complete chiefly because the records are not. For a number of years the Welsh associations
were not reported at all. Doubtless some have been inadvertently overlooked; and the names
of a few have been purposely omitted because they simply passed through the state, and
their ministry was of no significance because so brief.
