Jackson Sentinel, Feb. 3, 1920
Jackson Sentinel. February 3, 1920 

Lyman Blair Buchner was born in Maquoketa, December 12, 1894. He died at 
Maquoketa January 30th, 1920, at 4 p. m., aged twenty-five years and eighteen 
days. Lyman graduated from the Maquoketa High School in 1913. At the time of 
his graduation he was president of his class and was an honored member of the 
Alumni Association. He was united in marriage June 1st, 1917, to Miss Eva 
Martin, daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Charles Martin of Maquoketa. To this union 
one child was born. Dear little, Jimmie, just one year old at the time of his 
Father's death will never remember his Father nor know how much his Father 
loved him. Lyman was confirmed in the Episcopal church by Rev. Herbert C. 
Boissier, who also officiated at his marriage. The deceased was a member of 
the Order of Knights of Pythias of Maquoketa and Lyman never forgot its 
teachings that they can best serve the order by the cure of those who have 
home ties upon them. Lyman was a manly young man, held in high esteem by all 
who knew him. He was kind, sympathetic and interested in the welfare of his 
friends and those about him. He had a host of friends in Maquoketa and in the 
country for miles around. Last Friday afternoon when the word passed from lip 
to lip that Lyman had left us all were startled and astonished and could 
hardly believe that it was true. A weight of sorrow rested on many a heart and 
they all felt they had lost a true friend. A week ago Friday Lyman drove the 
hearse for the Mrs. Weldy funeral. He with his brother shoveled snow at the 
cemetery that the roads might be passable for the funeral procession. He 
complained that afternoon to his Mother that his chest pained him. He went 
home and to bed and just one week from that day he bid his loved ones good 
bye. During this brief illness of one week, everthing was done for him that 
was possible in the way of medical attendance and kind nursing but of no 
avail. He passed to his reward at 4 p. m. Friday, January 30. He leaves to 
mourn his untimely death, his wife, his son Jimmie, his father and mother, Mr. 
and Mrs. J. A. Buchner and one sister. Mrs. Lloyd Montross of Sloan, Iowa, one 
brother, H. Gale, who was associated with him in business, many warm friends 
who will miss him. Short services were held from the late residence on East 
Pleasant street conducted by Lyman's former pastor, Rev. H. C. Boissier, 
thence to the Methodist church where services were conducted by the Revs. J. 
J. Kidder, D. F. Boomershine, John Watterson and S. A. Smith paid beautiful 
tribute to the deceased. Peerless Lodge No. 60, of which Lyman was a loyal 
member, attended in a body and conducted the services at Mt. Hope Cemetery. 
The Knights of Pythias male chorus provided the music.
