Note - Lyman's tombstone says he died July 1924, but death certificate says 8/12/1914 and obituary printed in 1914 says he died in 1915! Poor guy, no one could seem to get his dates right.

He lived in, and around Des Moines until about 20 years ago [abt 1894], when he came to Kansas. He had five children, two by his first marriage, and three by his second, three of which are still living, two in Iowa, and one here, Mrs. A.N. Howard east of town. He has two brothers living, one, Ed, at Oswego, Kansas, and the other, Samuel of Wichita. He united with the Methodist Church in early manhood.
