Amos Paul Lyons
 
January 2, 1872, good old age, the venerable Paul Lyons, the oldest man in Mobile County, Alabama and perhaps the oldest man in the southwest died 3 weeks ago Thursday. He was born in Savannah, Georgia on 19th July 1761. He was, therefore, nearly one hundred and eleven years old at the time of his death. He was in Savannah during the war of Revolution. He married in 1809, when nearly 50 years old, yet had lived with his wife, who survives him  for more than sixty years. Mr Lyons leaves a number of children, grandchildren, great and great great grandchildren, most of  whom are residents of the southern part of this county. He was born before George the 3rd succeeded to the British Crown, while Frederick the great was in the zenith of his fame, and several years before the birth of either Napoleon  Bonaparte, the Duke of Wellington or  Andrew Jackson. He was a contemporary of  Johnson and Goldsmith and was eleven years older than Walter Scott
