Although my maternal grandfather, Noble Lyons, died when I was very young; I treasured stories, which I heard from my family. As I recall, when "Nob," was around 17 years old, he was working alone, using a threshing machine. One of his hands was caught in the machine. He fashioned a tourniquet and drove his horse and wagon to Canning, NS; to the closest physician. Grampa lost his hand and, as I was told by my mother, his hair turned white shortly thereafter.

During my early infancy, he and my grandmother, Bertha Lyons, traveled to visit us in Providence, RI. He was in his early 80's and died in Nova Scotia within the next year. After that visit. I recall my mother telling me that there was a fire at my grandparents home in Blomidon and that they had moved to Glenholme,NS to live with their daughter, Eileen Rafuse, before Noble's death there in 1948.

BLOMIDON (K.) The Micmac Indians called this place

"Glooscap's week." i. e., Glooscap's home.

The Indian name as given by Dr. Rand was "Owkogegechk," meaning "dogwood grove." The name "Blomidon" is said by most authorities to have been given the place by the Portuguese. The Indian name for the cape was "Plekteok" meaning a hand- spike. Navigators in old times used to call the cape "Blow-me- down."

Noble Lyons' farm flanked the road to Cape Blomidon, some of which can be seen in the bottom left hand corner of this 2004 photo. The house is to the right of the road, as you travel toward Blomidon. The barn stands across the street from the house. Apple orchards ran back toward the beach.
