Ills remarks were full of consolation to the extent that all sadness Bccmcd to disappear from the hearts of the mourners und a spirit of peace and reconciliation filled its place to a degree de-gree that was remarkable. The assembly as-sembly was dismissed by prayer offered of-fered by ltlshop William R. Thompson of Sciplo, and his body borne by loving lov-ing hands to the cemetery near by and carefully laid away on the hillside. hill-side. The resting place was dedicated by F.dgar W. Jeffery. Frederic R. Lyman was fifty-four years of age, having been born ill Salt Lake City, October 12, 18..6. Ho was a son of Amosa Lyman and Caroline Partridge. With his parents he moved to Fillmore and there his early life ; was spent. He was baptized by Daniel Thompson, November 18, lSC'i, and J confirmed a member of the Church of j Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints the I same day by Thomas Calllster. Moved J to Oak Creek In the early history of that place, where he afterwards married mar-ried Ann K. Lovell on December G, 187.";. Went on a mission to the" South In the fall of 1884, where he remained two years expounding the doctrines of the faith of his people. Soon after his return he was selected a member of the ward bishopric, acting as counsellor counsel-lor to Bishop Peter AndeiBon until May 12, 1907, when he was Belected as first counsellor to President Alonzo A. Hinckley In the Millard Stake of Zion, which position ho retained up to the time of his death. Frederic was a man In every sense of the word. Unassuming In his nature, na-ture, sound In his Judgment, nnd Just In his dealings, he enjoyed the utmost conlldiflce of-nil men "w Itfi Vhonf his business dealings brought him In contact. con-tact. Tho splendid record of the people peo-ple of his home town and the progressive pro-gressive spirit shown by him In both spiritual and temporal matters are no doubt due to wisdom of his counsel. But perhaps the thing that presents Itself ns among his greatest accomplishments accom-plishments was the manner In which he has directed the colonization of the Biirtner Project, and the success that is finally to reward the people who are now pioneering that place. While I mistakes may have been made In its management along some lines nnd disaster dis-aster overcoming the people In their efforts, yet nothing ever seemed to discourage dis-courage Frederic R. Lyman, or if so, his discouragement was never but momentary, and with his eyes firmly fixed on Its ultimate success he would rally the disorganized forces and by nls example Inspire confidence again and begin work anew. And In his resourceful re-sourceful manner provide the way for supporting the families while the fathers fath-ers and sons were building anew on the ruins of their past labors, and It Is to be regretted that now almost on the verge of success with prosperity within their reach, he was not permitted to live to see his great labor finished, but as the years shall roll by his name snail ever be remembered as the father of that undertaking. It mattered not what he turned his hand to do, he did it with a will, nil:) among the great men who have written their names In the history of Millard County, few. If any, will shine with brighter lustre than that of Frederic It. Lyman. The above sketch was furnished by our Stake Clerk. DEATH OF FREDERIC R. LYMAN.
