Eunice Lyman, a daughter of Major Isaac Lyman by his first wife, Sally Edgecomb, married Cephas Nelson, at Hebron, NY(?-jcw) and came to Lymansville in 1820. Their grandson, Almeron Taggart Nelson now occupies the old Nelson Homestead. He and his sister, Henrietta, (Mrs. Fred M. Jones) of West Pawlet, Vt, are great grand children of Major Isaac Lyman.
Major Isaac Lyman was a public spirited citizen, a leader in his community, and engaged in activities which led to the advancement of the early settlers. He erected the first grist mill in the county, was the first post master, served as justice of the peace, and for many years conducted a tavern at Lymansville, so called in his honor.
All of his children, except one, who were not born here, eventually came to Potter County where they intermarried with other pioneer families. The have produced gen-

Editor Enterprise:
On account of misunderstanding or failure to make reasonable terms with the C.&P.A. railroad for brinigng the timber from the lands at Sweden Valley, an interest has been sold in these lands to Olean men and arrangements are already being made with the B.&S. railroad to extend their lines from the Nelson farm to Sweden Valley, to take the timber from Dry Run and also any timber that can be bought there. This is a big loss to Coudersport as arrangements wree practically made for a chemical plant near here and the loss to the mills here of about fifteen million feet of logs to manufacture.

3- Charlotte, b. June 13, 1811, m. John Tompkins-went West;
