Mr. Hall and others pronounced it LUH-MON, with emphasis on the last syllable. According to the reporter who did this story, the daughter of Ward Hill Lamon pronounced it like the fruit - LEMON.

Thanks, Laurie, I 've wondered about that too. I always feel so dumb when I realize that I've only ever read a name (or word) and have no idea how to actually pronounce it, if the opportunity should ever arise.
