The Fairview Enterprise, Fairview, KS, May 11, 1907
Elvira Spencer Lyman was born at Chillecothe, Ohio, Aug. 20, 1834.  With her 
father's family she removed to Illinois where she was married to Henry Lyman 
June 23, 1857.  After fourteen years in Illinois the family emigrated to 
Doniphan county, Kansas and settled at White Cloud.  Two years later, 1873 
they came to Brown county where they spent the remnant of their lives, he 
having passed into the great beyond two years ago.  To them were born six sons 
and three daughters all of whom are living except one son.  There are also 
twenty three grand children.  She was converted when a young woman and joined 
the United Brethern church.  After coming to Fairview she was received into 
the Reformed church in 1894.  For twenty years her health was impaired.  She 
grew worse and worse until the last few years were one continuous round of 
suffering.  Few are called upon to suffer as she has, yet she bore it with a 
fortitude that is remarkable.  She lived for her children; she suffered for 
them; she clung to hope that she might be a benefit to them though she knew it 
must be at the price of continued pain and anguish.  She passed away 
peacefully Tuesday morning May 7, 1907, her age being seventy one years.  She 
has fought her fight, finished her course, kept her faith.  God be praised for 
her victory.
