I and the deepest sympathy Of those present
and Of the many friends of Major Nyman
| in Manchester went out in the fullest
measure to the grief stricken and deeply
afflicted daughter and her husband in their
great bereavement.
Arnold Wyman was born in Greenfield,
y. H., January "a, lN2G He moved TO
Manchester with his father when quite
young and continued to reside there until
the beginning of the civil war, when he
enlisted in the First New Hampshire cav
airy and continued in the service until Il e
Der OF battles and was severely wounded at
Cedar Creek. He was promoted to the Of
fee of major and was highly regarded as a
gallant and efficient officer.
After the war he engaged in business in
New York in a commission house and
gave his attention for several years mostly
to handling paper stock, cotton waste and
mill supplies.
Afterwards he became Interested in
mining interests in Mexico, where he
passed year or two experimenting the

spent the winters for several years, com
ing North and residing with his daughter,
Mrs. Miner, at BGattlebOrO, during the
summer seasons.
Within the last year he suffered two

Gently his condition was somewhat com

came Respondent ami gave unmistakable
signs of brain difficulty. Suddenly and
without warning his mind gave way and
the strong man, the brave soldier, the kind

ed to ''that bourne from which no traveller
returns"
Major Wyman was man of most ex-
cellent qualities of head and heart. lie
was a genial and pleasant companion and
a true and faithful friend. He was a de-
voted and affectiOnate parent and always
seemed happiest when doing the most for
those be loved. He served his country
| faithfully and did his whole duty in the
army during the war Of the rebellion. His
| business career was more than ordinarily
successful and throughout a long and in
| dustrious life his reputation for honesty
and fair dealing was never called in ques-
! ton.
Standing by his grave and listening to
| the solemn and impressive services of the
last sad rite mingled with the piteous
moaning of the heart-bI oxen daughter.
! looking back over an acquaintance of 30
! years which long ago grew into an init
mate friendship, the writer takes a melan-
choly satisfaction in paying this slight
! tribute to the memory of one who was
worthy of the respect and regard of his
felowmen and the affectionate remem-
brance of those who were bound to him
| by the nearer ties of kinship.
