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.
