FRANCIS A. LYMAN. With the death of Dr. Francis A. Lyman, which occurred Sunday afternoon at his home in Waimea, Kauai loses a physician of much ability and a man of many admirable qualities. Of a quiet, unassuming disposition, he was appreciated and loved most by those who knew him best. Combined with the sterling qualities of integrity, he cherished a tender heart and a kindly sympathy for the unfortunate and the suffering which he saw every day, and whose needs he was ever ready to alleviate and to whom he gave his life. Dr. Lyman was born in Honolulu, May 7, 1862. He spent his boyhood in Hilo mostly; received his early education at Penahou; went from there to Western Reserve University from which he graduated in 1885. His professional education he received at Rush Medical School, from which he graduated with the very highest honors which entitled him to a choice of two positions a hospital intern. He selected that at the Presbyterian Hospital of Chicago where he remained two years. He was then appointed superintendent of the Wisconsin State Insane Asylum, which position he filled for nine years. While there he married Mamie A. Aldrich of Mt. Carmel, Ill., daughter of Alfred A. Aldrich, a prominent lumber merchant doing a big business all the way from Toledo to Quebec. In 1895 he located in Madison, Wis., where for years he conducted an extensive general practice besides being city and county physician. In the interest of his wife's health, he moved to the Islands and located in Waimea in 1913, succeeding Dr. Sandow in the professional care of that extensive and important district which includes the Kekaha Sugar Company, the Waimea Sugar Company, and the Gay and Robinson interests. He leaves a widow and two sons to mourn his loss, as well as many relations and friends, especially in Hilo, his old home. The funeral service was held at the home Tuesday morning, Rev. J. M. Lydgate officiating; the remains will be interred in Honolulu.
