Murdered.
Jamaica. The Daily Gleaner carried this report of Noëmi's funeral:-
MRS. LYON-HALL
LAID TO REST
Was Member Of Prominent
Portland Family. Large
Gathering At Funeral
Because her contact with mankind was good, and she maintained with dignity and distinction the traditions of one of Jamaica's oldest families, hundreds of mourners passed before the body of Mrs. Marian Noëmi Lyon-Hall, as she lay in state in the Half-way Tree Parish Church, yesterday afternoon. The tragic circumstances of her death - shot without ado by a heartless villain - has aroused island-wide indignation and sympathy.
The late Mrs. Lyon-Hall was a daughter of the late Hon. W. B. Espeut, one-time Member for Portland in the Legislative Council. She resided for years at Spring Garden, Buff Bay, after returning to Jamaica with her husband, C. H. Lyon-Hall from Haiti, where they lived for some time. The Lyon-Halls are widely known as one of the leading families of Portland.
At 3 o'clock yesterday afternoon the casket covered with flowers and bearing the body of the deceased lady was removed from the Nuttall Hospital, where she died, and was conveyed to the Half-way Tree Parish Church. There it lay in state until the hour for the funeral service, 4 o'clock, arrived.
It was no curious crowd that paid respect to the mother of an esteemed family. Those who passed by reverently and silently showed their deep sympathy and regret; and many a tear was shed even by those briefly acquainted with Mrs. Lyon-Hall.
