1878
-- Paxton Record. 29 August 1878.
The shafts of Cupid have once again entered the adamantine heart of one who boasted himself invulnerable, and he becomes a willing victim to the little archer. F. G. Lohman, teacher of our public school, and Miss Florence B. McCann, were married at Paxton, on the 22d inst. Thus one of the bravest and one of the fairest are fairly caught in the silken meshes which there is no escape. "May health, happiness and prosperity, and a long line of prosperity," be their future . . .

14 March 1872.
LYMAN ITEMS
Weather fine for this season of the year. If, as the old adage runs, "a bushel of March dust is worth a King's ransom," several could be ransomed if they were in captivity, and were worth the trouble.
Rumor speaks of a rumpus in town, and says that wood cuts were plenty for a short time.
Hon. C. H. Frew, our talented Representative, was in town for a short time on Monday. He was well pleased with the aspect of things, and told us we were doing finely, much better... than he expected.
Taylor John, the proprietor of Thawville, sold all his earthly possessions in the shape of personal property, on Tuesday last, and intends quitting agriculture and pursuing husbandry, having already made a contract with a prominent Chicago builder for the erection of a brown stone front on one of the principal streets of his native city.
Carl Lohman, an old German citizen of our town expired on Sunday last.
Our doctor sports a new hat; business must be looking up a little in his line, as we have heard of no fire lately.

F. G. LOHMAN
EARLY DAYS IN THE TOWN OF LYMAN

In 1879, John Drummond was elected Town Clerk. He was a harness maker and worked for Thomas McNeish. In 1880, F. G. Lohman, a teacher in the Roberts school, was elected Town Clerk.
He was born in Watertown, Wisconsin, in 1849. His parents were German Lutherans. In 1851 there was an epidemic of a choleric sort that raged in its fury. His father and mother were stricken and died leaving Franz, then a little over a year old, in the care of his grandfather, a widower. He loved his grandson and desired that he become a Lutheran minister. When he was thirteen years of age his grandfather died. He left some money for the education of his grandson. He was sent to a select school for two years and then entered the preparatory department of the North Western University at Watertown.
By the time he was seventeen years old he passed the examination for the freshmen class. The funds left for his education were exhausted. As he did not want to be a Lutheran minister he seized upon the opportunity and started teaching school in Wisconsin. He had a good German education and taught a German parochial school in Watertown and then taught in the Grammar department of a German school in Milwaukee, Wis. His health being impaired, he returned to Watertown and went to work in a steam saw mill where he had previously worked.
In 1869 his hip became diseased, the joint was dislocated and left him lame. He, thinking the climate of Wisconsin too severe, came to Ford County, Illinois. He farmed near Paxton for a few years, then concluded to try teaching again.
He applied for the Roberts school in 1875 and took up the work in the fall. He taught here for several years with marked success. He was elected County Superintendent of Schools in 1882 and held the position for two years. He was Town Clerk in 1881, 1885, 1886, and 1887.
In 1878, Mr. Lohman was united in marriage to Miss Florence Belle McCann of Roberts. She was one of the nicest mothers I ever met. She was a fine singer and for years, with her husband, sang in the Congregational Church choir. They had five children, two sons and three daughters. Sherrill and Florence are deceased. Leona lived in Utah, Howard in Washington and Adelaide in Chicago.
F. G. Lohman died in 1897 and Mrs. Lohman in 1923.
