Though to a measure prepared for such an event owing to his protracted illness, the residents of this city were -- startled last evening by the announcement that Dr. Lyman Clary was dead. Subsequent inquiry led to the confirmation of the report, he having died at the family residence on James street at about eight o'clock. The fact caused a feeling of sadness to pervade the entire community, among whom the deceased has for many years resided, and who by this upright conscientious life, had attracted to himself many warm personal friends and secured the universal respect of this fellowmen. For many weeks past, his demise has been looked for at various times, but a wonderful vitality enabled him to withstand the sufferings incident to the fatal disease which has at last compelled him to yield up his life at the age of a little more than 73 years.
Dr. Clary was born to Deerfield, Mass. in the month of February 1803. His father was a well-to-do farmer, who gave his son the best educational advantages to be secured in that locality. At the age of fourteen years the deceased accompanied his parents to Huron county, Ohio, to which locally they moved in 1817 and settled upon an almost entirely unimproved farm. For three years the deceased assisted his father in working the farm, and as educational facilities in the locality were limited, he --- in close study. At the age of seventeen the deceased commenced teaching school in the locality, and continued his own studies, which embraced the languages, etc. At the age of twenty-one young Clary decided upon the medical profession for his future life, and commenced studying the office of Dr. Manter, of El--, Ohio, where he remained two years. He subsequently returned to his former home in New England and studied for two years in the office of Dr. Williams in Deerfield. He graduated in 1834 with high honors. Subsequent to his graduation he went to Canada with a view of entering upon the practice of his profession, and finally settled at St. Catherines. He remained in that place but a few months. He returned to the home of his father in Ohio, where he remained for a short time. Afterwards he traveled through Ohio and Pennsylvania and finally into this state, coming as far as Onondaga Valley. After looking over the locality he finally, in the year ---, settled in Salina (on the First Ward) where he remained until 1835 when he removed to this city, where he has resided ever since. The deceased entered the school of medicine as an allopath, but in 1840 he became a homeopathist, in which school he continued to practice until the close of his life.
In May --- the deceased was married to Miss Fanny Warr of Deerfield, Mass. a relatives of a distinguished clergyman of that --- in New England, and who survives him. The fruit of this union were three children, only two of whom are living: Ware Clary and Mrs. Daniel F. Gert of this city.
During his long and useful life in Syracuse the deceased has been prominently identified with many institutions located in our city. He was in early years a trustee of the First Presbyterian church, but some thirty years ago, he became associated with the church of the Messiah -- and has since been a trustee of that church. He was a trustee and Vice President of the Syracuse Savings Bank from the time of the organization to his death. He was one of the founders of the New England Society, the first Vice President and afterward elected its President. At its last annual meeting the society re-elected him President, not withstanding a written declination on account of his health.
Dr. Clary was greatly interested to the security and preservation of the records of the early history of Onondaga county. He was one of the most active and earnest in the organization of the Pioneers Association, and has been one of the officer of that society from the beginning. Politically speaking, the deceased was in this earlier days a Democrat, but when slavery was likely to be advanced through its agency, he broke loose, first as a Free Soiler, afterward Republican, and was a supporter of Greeley four years ago. Personally he never indulged in a desire for political performance.
Due notice will be given of the funeral arrangements.
