Can1e to Iowa.
The same year Mr.. Wyman came
to Iowa and located in Ottumwa. Two
years later he engaged in business
with ]. Prugh, the firm being known
as ]. Prugh and company. That year
Mr.. Wyman united in marriage with

son, Charles w. Wyman.
Upon the death of Mr.. Prugh some
years later Mr.. Wyman continued the
business until the present time, being
an extensive importer and dealer in
crockery, china and glass ware.
Major Wyman was one Of the best
known and popular military men in
the state. His military ancestry and
training led him to take an interest
in the Iowa National Guard, with
which he was actively associated for
more than twenty years.
For many years he served as mill
tary secretary to the governor of Iowa,
In all, holding this position longer than
any other man in the United States

medical examination for the recruits
sent to the Philippines at that time
was very strict. and having poor eye

service. 1t was a great disappoint
ment to him that he was unable to &C
to the front in that struggle.
Major Wyman was a thirty-second

a progressive citizen and at one time
was active and influential in the poll
