The Midland Times
Saturday, 25 September, 1875

         Last Sunday MR. JOHN WYMAN, and old and much respected
       citizen of our village was laid away in the silent grave.
       MR. WYMAN came into this county in February, 1837, when
       there was not a white settler within the borders of Mid-
       land county. He first lived in a log house on the bank of
       the river, near where LUMAN PRATT'S house stands. He lived
       here some years, then moved up on the banks of the Chippewa
       into a log house on COCHRANE'S farm. After remaining here
       some years he moved to within five miles of Saginaw for
       the purpose of securing school priveleges for his children.
       After remaining there a few years he returned and settled
       on the banks of the Chippewa, where he had lived for so
       many years. MR. WYMAN was born in Charleston, Mass., Nov.
       18th, 1802, and died on the 17th day of September, 1875,
       and was therefore, seventy-two years and ten months old
       at the time of his death. When he moved into this county,
       his nearest white neighbor lived ten miles down the river
       in Saginaw county. When he came here there was a large
       settlement of Indians living in this immediate vicinty,
       and who were for a long time his only neighbors. MR.
       WYMAN leaves behind him a large circle of friends to
       mourn his demise.

       died Saturday. He was nearly seventy-three years old. He
       was a native of Vermont. MR. WYMAN moved into Midland
       County in 1837, when there was not a white person living
       near, but plenty of Indians.
