    OBITUARY

    LYMAN-In York, Nebraska, on January 29, 1914, in the home of her daughter,
Mrs. Frank Lyman Williams, Mrs. Hannah Barrows Lyman passed away at the age of
89 years. A brief service was held at the home, Rev. D. F. Lindsay, pastor of
the Congregational church officiating. The body was accompanied to Maquoketa by
Mrs. Williams and laid to rest by the side of her late husband, S. D. Lyman, in
Mt. Hope Cemetery.

    The funeral was from her old home at ten o'clock Saturday-just sixteen years
after the day and hour of her husband's, conducted by Rev. V. H. Ruring, pastor
of the Congregational church, who chose for his text, "The path of the just is
as the shining light that shineth more and more unto the perfect day."

    The casket was surrounded by a wreath of palms and floral offerings, tokens
of love and the esteem from friends in Maquoketa and from the late home in York.
After the death of her husband, her sister, Miss Martha J. Barrows, who had been
a missionary for over thirty years in Japan, returned and spent her furlough of
three years with Mrs. Lyman.

    Two years ago Mrs. Frank Lyman was married to W. K. Williams of York,
Nebraska and Mrs. Lyman graciously accepted the invitation to share this new
home where she received most tender care from them. A typical New Englander, she
lived her serene life of unshaken faith in God.

    In 1875, when Rev. and Mrs. Millikan and their five children first came to
Maquoketa they were received into the Lyman home and of Mrs. Lyman they now
write: "She has been a faithful friend through the 39 years that have followed.
Although we could not see her, we shall miss her beyond measure. The west has
never changed her gentle, strong, exact New England nature."
