TREBY W. LYON, M. D.

     Broad hospital experience, supplementing thorough collegiate training, well qualified Dr. Treby W. Lyon for professional activity and he has won for himself a most creditable position among the successful physicians of New Haven. He was born in New London, Connecticut, June 6, 1881, a son of Charles H. and Addie (Williams) Lyon, both of whom were natives of New London. In his later life the father engaged in the grocery business for a considerable period and won a substantial measure of success but is now living retired in New Haven, having acquired a handsome competence that enables him to rest from further labor. His wife passed away in New London. In their family were two children, the brother of Dr. Lyon being Charles, who also resides in New Haven.
     Dr. Lyon of this review spent his youthful days attending the public schools of New London, Connecticut, mastering the work of successive grades until he was graduated from the high school. Reviewing the broad field of business activity, he determined upon the practice of medicine as his chosen life work and entered the Yale Medical School, from which he was graduated in 1903 with the M. D. degree. He decided to make New Haven his place of residence, but to add to his knowledge of the medical science he first pursued an extended post-graduate course in New York at various clinics. After service in clinics, Dr. Lyon spent one year as interne in the Elizabeth General Hospital at Elizabeth, New Jersey. In January, 1906, he opened an office in New Haven, where he remained until April, 1912, when he took a course in rectal diseases at the New York Polyclinic Hospital, where he was later appointed clinical assistant, remaining there until November, 1913, when he returned to New Haven.
     His well earned reputation soon gained for him a liberal practice which has constantly increased in volume and importance as the years have passed on. He is now considered one of the city's leading and representative physicians and surgeons and his business has reached very gratifying proportions. He belongs to the New Haven, the New Haven County, the Connecticut State and the American Medical Associations and he enjoys the high regard of his professional brethren because of his close conformity to the highest standards of the ethics of the profession.
     In his political views Dr. Lyon maintains an independent course, casting his ballot according to the dictates of his judgment without regard to party ties. He belongs to St. Paul's Episcopal church and his life is guided by high and honorable principles in all things. His profession naturally requires the greater part of his time, thought and attention, and he is now serving on the clinical staff of the City Dispensary and also as clinical assistant in the Yale Medical School. Broad recognition of his acquired powers has come to him and his life record shows what may be accomplished through determined effort, close application and broad study.
