One of our honored townsmen, Nelson H. Lyman, who has been long and well-known by the community [Barton, VT] and highly respected, died last Tuesday after a lingering illness with Bright's disease. He has been able to look after his work until almost the last, but for a few weeks his decline has been more rapid. Mr. Lyman was born in Glover in 1845 and lived in that town until 1883, when he bought the Allen farm where he resided until his death. He was a man very retiring in disposition, industrious, one of the best farmers and a good financier. He was of high moral character, a constant attendant of the Congregational church, strictly honest and upright in his dealings and had many fast friends wherever he was known. The funeral was largely attended at the house last Thursday, Kev. R. L. Sheaff speaking from the following text, "Come unto Me all ye that labor and are heavy laden, and I will give you rest," Matt. 11 :28. Rev. J. B. Lyman assisted in the service. There were a large number of mourners present, among whom were Mr. and Mrs. O. B. Dodge of Montpelier. Besides many distant relatives and friends to mourn his loss, he leaves a wife, a brother, Newell Lyman of Glover, and two sisters, Mrs. E. R. Cook of West Glover and Mrs. O. B. Dodge of Montpelier. His remains were interred in the West Glover cemetery." (Orleans County Monitor, 7 Oct 1901)
