According to Mrs. Lovejoy's history of Royalton, "In 1866 Mr. Burbank bought the Kimball farm in Dist. Seven" where he lived until "He removed to Chelsea about 1881, and located on West Hill." The facts in the case make it look like Lyman Austin had just recently moved to his own farm and had not his mother, Emily, and his 30 year old brother, Norman, been visiting them, perhaps to see the new place or to help them settle, they also would have been victims. [The Kimball farm was located on Russ Hill on the road up Gee Hill from Royalton beginning near the railroad underpass east of the village. This farm was deeded by Oren A. Burbank to Lyman A., who is referred to as Lyman Jr., for $2,500 on 12 April 1866. After the Burbank's moved to Chelsea, the Russ Hill property burned, was rebuilt, then burned again. In more recent years, a mobile home was on or near the site.]
On 26 Dec 1903, after twenty-two years on the Chelsea farm, Lyman A. sold the farm to his son, John, for $2,500 and moved to a smaller farm on the Chelsea-Tunbridge Road, a mile or so south of Chelsea village, known by some in the family as "the place on the branch" which is a reference to the branch of the White River which ran in view of the buildings. Whoever supplied the information for the 1928 genealogy said that Lyman A. "was an up-to-date farmer, always keeping nice horses and cattle...Ten of his eleven living children joined the Congregational church at Chelsea, Vermont, in their teens. 'Much credit is due to their mother's patience and their father's good example.'"
They had 13 children.
