He was an 1832 graduate of Yale College and a 1835 graduate of the Yale Divinity School.
EPHRAIM LYMAN, fourth child and second son of Erastus and Abigail (Starr) Lyman, was born in Goshen, Litchfield County, Conn , June 3, 1810. In the fall of 1832 he entered the Yale Divinity School, and there remained for the full three years’ course. From the semi¬nary he went directly to Plymouth, Conn., to supply the pulpit of the Congregational Church; and on Oct. 28th, 1835, he was ordained and installed their pastor. He was dismissed, at his own request, June 8, 1851, and after a year of recreation was installed over the Congregational Church in Washington, Conn., June 30, 1852, where he enjoyed a happy and successful pastorate until his health failed and he was obliged to resign, June 7, 1863. In May, 1864, he removed to Northampton, Mass, and in October, 1873, followed two of his sons to Minneapolis, Minnesota , where he resided till his death, of typhoid fever, Oct, 29, 1880, showing alike in his useful active life, and in his years of enforced retirement, the same Christian courage and devotion to duty. He was married, Oct. 2, 1839, to Miss Hannah D., youngest daughter of Peter Richards, of New London, Conn., who is still living. Of their four sons and four daughters, three sons and two daughters survive him,—the youngest son being a graduate of this college in the class of 1873.
