Lyons, IA is now a part of Clinton, located on the Mississippi River in extreme Eastern Iowa (N. of Davenport). My mother was a GILBERT born in Clinton in 1920. Her father, Charles Raymond GILBERT, was an only child....so no connection there. Your names are not familiar, although there are a few GILBERT names in the Clinton phone directory that I'm not familiar with. I grew up in Clinton and only live 25 mi. away now. My mother's GILBERT family came from Henry County, IL (and there from Ulster County, N.Y.). You might try checking the Clinton, IA phone directory listing of GILBERTS, but not Larry or Eugene, as they are my cousins. There are 5-6 others. I'm sure there are many in Davenport. Wish I could be more help.
