The Portland Observer, Wednesday, November 10, 1880
Oliver Wyman was born in St. Albans, Vermont, and died at his home in Danby 
October 13th, 1880, in the 58th year of his age.  About ten years ago he 
was “born of the spirit,” and soon afterward united with the M. E. church, and 
has ever since lived a devoted Christian life.  His religion was seen in his 
everyday life, and extended into all his business transactions.  His piety was 
steady and active.  It did not flash out with great brilliancy in the midst of 
revival seasons and favorable surroundings and then die away, but it burned 
with a steady increasing light, telling to all with whom he associated that 
Jesus was his daily companion.

The estimation in which he was held in the community in which he lived, the 
position which he occupied in the church, the faithfulness in which he 
performed his duties, and suddenness of his death, the companion who has 
shared in his joys and sorrows being now left alone, render his fall 
peculiarly affecting.  A short time before he expired he said to one of his 
neighbors who was standing by his bedside, “It is all bright.”  As I think of 
his upright deportment and holy life during the three years of my acquaintance 
with him, I can truly say “He was a good man, and full of the Holy Ghost, and 
of faith.”  

His funeral took place at Sebewa the 15th inst. and was largely attended.
