The Fairview Enterprise, Fairview, KS, October 29, 1904
Henry Lyman was born on the 23rd of April 1831 in Stark county, Ohio, and died 
at Fairview, Kansas, Oct. 25th, 1904.  During early childhood he removed with 
his parents from Ohio to Illinois.  There he grew to manhood and followed the 
carpenter's trade.  On the 23rd of June, 1857, he was married to Miss Alvira 
Spencer, and to this union nine children were born, eight of whom, together 
with the wife, and two brothers and two sisters still survive him.  In 1871 he 
brought his family, then consisting of the wife and six children to White 
Cloud, Kansas, where he lived for two years.  He then removed to Brown county, 
living in the vicinity of Fairview until the spring of 1889 when he came to 
town to make his home.  In August 1897, he was appointed postmaster at 
Fairview which office he still held at the time of his death.  He joined the 
United Brethern church while living in Illinois but afterward united with the 
Reformed church of Fairview.  He was a man honored and respected by all who 
knew him.  He leaves his immediate family, twenty grandchildren, two great 
grandchildren, his brothers and sisters, with a large number of nephews and 
nieces, besides a host of friends who deeply mourn his death.  The funeral 
services were held at the Reformed church at Fairview Wednesday, Oct. 26, 
conducted by Rev. J. A. Hunsucker, and the body was laid away in the Old 
Fairview cemetery.  Henry Lyman the subject of the above sketch, lived in 
Fairview and vicinity for many years.  He was industrious in his habits, 
absolutely honorable in his business relations with his fellow man, and 
greatly respected by all who knew him.  He was a citizen of whom no word of 
reproach could be truthfully uttered.  He died at a ripe old age leaving 
behind an unsullied reputation.  His funeral was largely attended by his many 
friends who feel sadly over his departure for the journey over the river.  Our 
community has lost our estimable citizen.  Peace be to his ashes.
