Son of Hattie and Henri/Henry Bousquet, this little boy died shortly before his sixth birthday. He rests beside his mother.
After the death of his mother, Hattie (Briggs) Bousquet in 1871, Henry and probably his brother, Cutts, were adopted by his mother’s brother and wife, Abington J. and Alice (Brooks) Briggs. Both boys were in the 1880 A. J. Briggs’ household in Knoxville, Marion, Iowa.

According to Henry Lyman Bousquet's obituary, “Weekly Pella Blade,” Pella, Iowa, 22 November 1881 and courtesy of Steve Lovell, "Little Lyman" died at the home of his "adopted parents," Mrs. and Mrs. A. J. Briggs, "after a short illness of croup." At the death of his mother in 1877, Hattie Bousquet "cosigned" her "babe" to the care of her brother and his wife. The couple took special care of Henry, not only because of their relationship, but by "the nature of the child himself, always so full of sunshine," he "won the love of all with whom he came in contact."
The Wednesday before his death, Henry came home from school with a sore throat. The very next day he asked Mrs. B.: "Do you think I am going to died, Mamma?" Over the next few days, Henry's condition worsened and with friends and family at his bedside he died early on the morning of Monday, November 14th.
Although he'd be missed at school, Sunday School, and by playmates, he'd be missed most of all "at that home, where for a little while, thy mischievous pranks have made sunshine and mirth. For, while only six short summers have passed over thy head, all have learned to love thee."
