Anna Lavinia Cleaveland was born at Smith's Ferry, June 25th, 1874, and died in Lincoln, Nebraska, June 27th, 1921 at the age of forty seven years and two days.
In her early girlhood her parents moved to Shenandoah, Iowa where she attended public schools and afterwards the Shenandoah Iowa Normal School. While living here she united with the Presbyterian church (sic) and has retained active church membership since that time.
In 1893 she moved with her parents to Table Rock, Neb., where she taught school for two years. On Nov. 27th, 1895 she was married to Edwin Lyman and to them were born nine children, all of them surviving her except Arthur who died in his infancy.
In 1900 she moved with her family to Rawlins County, living on a ranch south of McDonald until 1901 when they moved to town and have resided here since that time.
We speak of no stranger. It was in our midst that she lived the fullest, most faithful part of her life. It was here that all of her children except one were born. It was here that she ministered with tender heart and loving hands to the sick and the needy, doing her Christian duty to even the least of these cheerfully and well.
Her home life was beautiful. Thinking of herself last in all things, no sacrifice too ever too great for her to make for her loved ones. Striving in way, to the best of her knowledge and strength to rear her children to the highest type of honorable sincere Christian manhood and womanhood, and in her death leaving for their contemplation, now, and in the years to come the memory of a pure sweet mother as their guide and example. God give them all the grace to live up to her highest expectations, and to be worthy sons and daughters of such a noble mother.
She leaves, besides her husband to mourn her loss, four sons, Roy, Edwin, Richard and Elbert; four daughters, Anna, Margaret, Mildred and Lois; One grand-daughter, one sister, three brothers, besides other relatives and innumerable friends.
