Mr. Lyman was born in Southampton Mass., where he lived until his removal to Lyman township, in May, 1856, where he located on a farm and built one of the first homes in the town. In '69, he sold his farm and removed to Onarga, where he resided until the death of his wife, which occurred in September, 1875, since which time he has made his home with his sons in Onarga and Roberts. He was attended in his last sickness by Mrs. Dorcas Loomis, his sister, from his old home in Massachusetts. He leaves a family consisting of S. B. our present Sheriff, Geo, P., in business at Roberts, and Edward, who is farming near Chatsworth. Mr. Lyman was a consistent Christian abounding in charities and kind deeds, whose word was his bond in all transactions in life. His death will be regretted by a circle of friends possessed by few men in this world of envy and strife.
