"225 DANIEL LYMAN7, M.D., was born in Woodstock, Ct., Sept. 5, 1784, and what is a little remarkable, was taken to church on the day of his birth - it being the Sabbath - and baptized by his father Eliphalet Lyman who was pastor of the Congregational church in that village for 40 years. Daniel fitted for college in the Woodstock Academy, and at the time of his death was the only living member of the first class which left that institution. He entered Yale about the year 1805. He stood high in that institution as a scholar, took an active part in debate and other exercises connected with some one of the literary societies which flourished there. During the latter part of his senior year he was attacked with an affection of the heart, which necessitated his laying aside his studies for some months, so that he failed to graduate with his class. He pursued a regular course in the medical department of Dartmouth under the instruction of the celebrated Dr. Smith. He was a remarkably apt scholar to whatever department of study he turned his attention. He commenced the practice of medicine and surgery in his native village about the year 1809 or 1810, in which calling he had a wide and very successful practice for 40 years.
