Dr. H. H. Lyman of Puritan ancestry, was born in Hume Feb. 17, 1827. His grandfather was a physician in Wilbraham, Mass., whence his father, Henry D. Lyman, came in 1820 to Rochester, and worked on the first Erie canal acqueduct over the Genesee river which was built of brick. ... Henry H. attended Alfred Academy from 1845 to 1848, and attended lectures in the medical department of the University of New York in 1850 and 1851. (His work in New York was interrupted by the death of a brother). That institution gave him a license to practice. He settled at once in Hume, and in 1860 received his M. D. at Buffalo University. Now, in his 45th year of professional work, no other physician in the county has so long a record. He married, in 1852, Cornelia C., daughter of Warren Cowing of Hume. Children: Jennie M. (Mrs. George W. Harding of Hume), Almon H., Valentine Mott, a commercial traveler, and Mary E., a teacher in Illinois. Dr. Lyman belongs to the County Medical Society, and is a surgeon for the W. N. Y. & P. railroad. He was master of Pike Lodge F. & A. M. 11 years, and High Priest of Wyoming Chapter 12 years.
