The Lyman Cemetery, a colorful part of our town, has an interesting history. It was first known as Eagle Cemetery. On July 10, 1909, John Minkler was elected chairman of the Cemetery Association. The association held regular annual meetings and elected new officers as needed.
On May 26, 1937, a special meeting was held at the Knights of Pythias Hall in Lyman to transfer all real and personal property owned by the Cemetery Association to the Town of Lyman. This was done with a quit claim deed, and the transfer came with the stipulation that the property so transferred would be used for cemetery purposes.
The Town of Lyman adopted an ordinance providing that the funds and property transferred would only be used for cemetery purposes, or the property would revert back to the Knights of Pythias—with one exception: that until needed for burial, parts of the property might be used for a park.
What everyone knows as the Lyman Park is part of the cemetery.
