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.

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 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
Laura Fellwock Stone.
No obit found. --Photo from Find A Grave, Steven Baker.
