Charles A. LYMAN, of Royalton, was born 21 October 1831 in Royalton [Windsor 
County, Vermont], son of Jabez and Abigail (WOODBURY) LYMAN, and has always 
been a resident of that town. He received the customary common school 
education in Royalton. Has chiefly followed farming, but has also practiced 
the trade of carpenter and given much attention to the manufacture of lumber. 
Has been entrusted with many responsible positions, among which may be 
mentioned selectman, overseer, lister, auditor, and trustee of the surplus 
revenue fund. He has always discharged these duties with honor to himself and 
profit to his fellow citizens. In 1892 was elected by a strong Republican 
majority to represent the town of Royalton in the General Assembly, where his 
energetic action in behalf of his constituents merited the approbation of 
those who had entrusted him with that position. On 08 March 1854 Mr. 
[Charles A.] LYMAN was united in wedlock to Hannah W., daughter of Horatio 
and Sarah (WALCOTT) FREEMAN. Four children were born to them, of whom only 
one (Mrs. Nellie M. DOYLE) is now surviving. On 05 July 1866 he contracted a 
second alliance with Laura J., daughter of William and Elizabeth (WALCOTT) 
FAY. Four children were the issue of this second marriage, three of whom are 
now living: Albert F., Ida C., and Elizabeth W.
