LYMAN ITEMS
J. W. Martain, agent for Parlin & Orendorff, Canton, Ill., manufacturers of the celebrated "Canton Clipper" stirring plow, was in town today. Thompson and Lyman gave him an order.
Our first regular mail was left on Tuesday last, W. C. Thompson officiating. It brought 58 letters and carried out 39.
We are having a season of mud, and gum boots are in demand. Sidewalks are rather scarce in this young burg of ours....
Mrs. Elizabeth Bond, wife of James Bond, of this township, expired after a lingering illness, on Saturday last -- the 24th.
Johnson and Meserve are making preparations to erect a fine warehouse here, the work to be commenced as soon as practicable. This firm are heavy operators in the great staple of Illinois, both at Buckley and at this place, and the warehouse they propose building will be a vast improvement to our business, when compared with the wholesale system of cribs now in vogue.

W. W. Graham
Died in Lyman Township, Tuesday, Dec. 12th, 1872, W. W. Graham, aged 22 years.
The announcement of the death of this young man threw a shade of gloom over the entire community where he was known. His sickness was of short duration, his disease typhoid fever. Only about two weeks before his death he was in this city, where he was a frequent visitor, and where he had many friends. The readers of the Record had a familiar acquaintance with him as the author of "Lyman Items."
Mr. Graham was an active, energetic young man of unusually agreeable manners, of superior business qualifications, and his early death is mourned by many who knew him but to esteem and honor him. His funeral was attended at Roberts, on Sunday last, by a large concourse of people. The religious exercises were conducted by Rev. Mr. Pendleton, of Chenoa. He was buried with Masonic honors -- something like a hundred of the fraternity being in attendance to pay the last sad office of respect to their departed friend and brother. The burial services were conducted by Rt. W. D. D. G. M, Wilson Hoag, of this city.
The sympathies of the entire community are extended to his parents and friends at this their irreparable loss.

One of the oldest, lengthiest obits I have found. Mr. Graham wrote the column titled "Lyman Items" for the Paxton Record. He recorded a lot of early Roberts history in his writings.
When I photographed stones in Lyman Township Cemetery I did not find this stone. The photo is from FAG and Steven Baker is the contributor; looks like he may have had to do some digging to get a good photo.
