Samuel Lyman
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.

Rakings 1877
Editor Record:
Absence from home was the cause for nonappearance of usual pile of Rakings last week.
Old winter is still lingering in the lap of spring, but all think he had better get out, as she will soon want to put on her pretty green dress and flowers and don't want him in her lap any way.
News items very scarce. A. J. O'Harra has built a carpenter shop near Rice & Southwick's lumber yard, and is now prepared to contract for and build anything on his line, as he is a No.... 1 workman and a capital good fellow too, so the ladies all say.
Peter Pfaat who has closed out his dry goods and grocery stock, will preside over the implement warehouse of John Shute. Flora & Newman and Tinklepaugh & King are also about to embark in the sale of agricultural implements. Experience proves that business to be a sure road to fortune, "over the left," but strong hopes in the good time coming.
James Ducas is again on the street after four weeks of fever.
That terrible scourge of the little ones, scarlet fever, has made its appearance in our place, and taken for its first victim little Tommie McNish, one of the brighest little boys in town. He died on the 13th after an illness of only four days, it is hoped the disease may not extend.
W. R. Newman, who recently sold his farm on section 17, has concluded not to "go west," but has purchased of A. M. Haling, the Beset Grove farm, and will soon remove on to it.
Quite a number of changes and many new comers among the farmers of our community.
Dr. Cassingham has lost his Mexican mare and will have to look long before he finds her equal for speed and endurance.
Mrs. Roberts of Wenona, and Miss Rowe of Goodland, Indiana, are visiting in town with relatives.
