Jefferson County Public Library Dated July 28, 1887

Lyman Goole Lathrop May 28th 1709, in the state of New York, Ontario county, Lima township. He was of the sturdy Plymouth stock, his father having been born in Connecticut in 1760, his grandfather in Massachusetts in 1735. He inherited the remarkable physique and mental strength of his ancestry, having lived eighty-eight years and two months, and was conscious to the last. He died at his residence at about 1:20 o'clock on the morning of July 27th surrounded by most of his children and other relatives. As a bird wary with its flight soaks its neat, so his spirit sought eternal rest. He came to Madison Feb. 11th, 1829. His own words are:

"In the Fall of 1818 father sold out and started on his journey to Indiana , moved by wagons to Olian Point, on the Alleghany river, 300 miles above Pittsburg. There he purchased a small family boat for $35, into which we embarked , ten in number, Nov. 26th, and started down the river. The weather being cold, our boat was frozen in sixteen miles above Marie tta. * * * In the latter part of January, 1819, the ice broke, the channel run clear, we launched the boat which we had previously gotten out of the water, and came to Cincinnati, which was then a small town. We came to Madison and landed here the 11th of February, 1819, and rented a log house of John McIntyre. The house stood on the north side of Main street, East of Jefferson."

He was first married to Suannah Wilson, Feb. 18, 1821. To them were born five boys and four girls, of whom Sarah L. Alfred, of Evansville, Rev. W. R. Lathrop, of Utica, and Minerva J. Crozier, of Madison, only survive. His wife died August 31st, 1851. He was married again March 9th, 1853, to Margarett Scott. To them were born three boys and one girl, of whom Revs. J. R. T. Lathrop, of Milford, Ind., and A.M. of Chester, Ohio, only remain. He united with the M.E. Church in 1820; during these 67 years he has acceptably filled the offices of Leader, Steward, and Trustee. Father Lathrop enjoyed to an unusal extent the respect and confidence of his fellow-citizens. During the time that our city was regarded as one of the largest pork packing points in the country he filled the position of ham trimmer for the well known firms of A. McNaughton, Godman & Co., O'Neill Balily & Co., Sering & Co., Meldrum & Co., J. Fitch & Son and in fact all the firms packing hogs in this city. The faithfulness with which he attended to his duties secured from him the confidence and respect of his employers to an unusual degree. He was a member of Madison Lodge No. 72 I, O.O.F, and at the time of his death was perhaps the oldest man in the state, belonging to the Order, and was regarded by his fellow members with reverance. He was left on the community in which he has lived for so many years an impress for good that will last for generations yet unborn. His life was one that the young people of the rising generation would do themselves honor in imitating. He was not rich in this worlds goods, but leaves his children and their descendants what is a far greater heritage than gold and silver, and more enduring of an honest, upright life.

His relatives and aged companion have the sympathy of the entire community in the loss they have sustained by his death.

His remains will be interred tomorrow morning in Springdale cemetery by the M. E. church and I.O.O.F., of which organizations he was such a devoted member and which he loved so well.
