BENJAMIN TOBEY, d 23 June 1868
No obit.
--Photo from Find A Grave. Steven Baker.
I believe Benjamin's parents are Prince Tobey and Esther Marie Hunt Tobey, as recorded in the FAG info for George Tobey by John Schmeeckle. The Tobey's were early settlers to the Lyman Township area and possibly lost these three children before moving on to new frontiers in Nebraska. Benjamin, Frank, and George.
This headstone photo was added to Find A Grave at a later date. Steven Baker was the photographer. Steven did a great job photographing some of the oldest stones. They are so difficult to transcribe, but he has done a fabulous job uncovering the stones and getting just the correct lighting.
Steven transcribed and recorded this burial as occurring in 1868. The Lyman Township Cemetery map lists it as the 9th burial in the cemetery.
Per Carolyn Wilson and the record books of the Lyman Township Cemetery, the first burials:
Burial #1 -- Record p. 1, Plot A-411, Sarah Schaffer, d 2 Apr 1868, husband A. Schaffer (There appears to have been two different Sarah Schaffers in the area, both with husbands named Abraham.)
Sarah A. Schaffer Stone.
No obit found.
--Photo from Find A Grave, Steven Baker.
Notes from FAG contributor Carolyn Wilson: Sarah is the very first individual recorded as buried in Lyman Township Cemetery (1868). Abraham Schaffer is listed in cemetery records as owner of the plot, but it is unclear if Abraham was Sarah's husband or father.
Burial #2 -- Record p. 2, Plot A-410, George/Georgie Stutzman(n), d 10 Apr 1868 (marker says 1867, but record says 1868), father C. Stutzman(n)
Georgie Stutzmann Stone.
No obit found.

Notes from FAG contributor Carolyn Wilson:
George is one of several individuals recorded as buried in Lyman Township during the first year (1868). His father was Christian Stutzman. The records list him as "child" and the marker gives his age as 4 weeks and ? days.
Burial #3 -- Record p. 3, Plot-412, Darius Finch, d 22 May 1868, father C.E. Finch, mother S.C. Finch
No obit found.
--No stone pictured in Find A Grave for Darius Finch.

Notes from Find A Grave contributor Carolyn Wilson:
This infant son is one of several individuals recorded as buried in Lyman Township Cemetery during the first year (1868).
I am just not sure that this is burial #4. The map lists this burial as #10 and a Fellwock burial as the #4.
Burial #5 -- Record p. 4, Plot A-409, Laura Fellwock, d 17 Sep 1868, father Charles Fellwock, mother Catherine (sp?) "Katie" Fellwock
