DUCHESNE - Elizabeth Ann Rowley Lyman, 85, died at the home of her daughter, Mrs. Mable O'Fallen at Gunnison Colo., on her birthday, April 4, of causes incident to age. The body arrived in Duchesne Wednesday evening and friends may call at the Roy a. Schonian Mortuary from Thursday afternoon until Saturday, when funeral services will be conducted in the LDS ward hall at 3 p.m. Interment will be in Myton cemetery.
Mrs. Lyman's life was a colorful saga of pioneer life. While operating a boarding house at Soldier Creek, south of Price in 1896, she came in contact with the notorious Butch Cassidy and his outlaw gang, who stopped at her home for food many times while en route to their hideouts in the Book Cliffs in the Green River section. On one occasion, she was forced to make a canvas tube to hold $20 gold pieces, the loot from a Castlegold (not sure of the name) robbery.
Mrs. Lyman was born at Fillmore April 4, 1958, a daughter of Mr. and Mrs. John Rowley. She was married to Ira D. Lyman, son of Amasa M. Lyman, one of the first apostles of the L D S church, January 3, 1878 at Fillmore.
They moved to Colorado in 1897 and to Vernal in 1900. They operated a boarding house at Mack Colo., and at Dragon, Utah during the construction of the Uintah railroad. Their sons, Chester and George, drove the first spikes in the railroad. Mr. Lyman died in 1917 while they were operating a grocery store at Randlett, Utah and since that time, Mrs. Lyman had made her home with her sons and daughters.
Surviving are two sons, Chester H. Lyman of Duchesne and Claud Lyman of Portland, Ore.; two daughters, Mrs. O'Fallon of Gunnison, Colo., and Mrs. Edna Clara Smith of Fullerton, Colo.
