On June 28, 1802, Bishop Lyman (for the first time since his graduation in 1837) paid a visit to his alma mater, Hamil- ton College, at Clinton, New York, being the oldest alumnus present on that occasion. He was received with distinguished honors, and presided over one of the meetings of the alumni association. He was also chairman of another meeting, held in the Presbyterian Church, closing these exercises with the apostolic benediction. The next day the honorary degree of

Doctor of Canon Laws was conferred on him, it being the first time Hamilton College had ever given this degree. Many years before, in 1856 (as already mentioned) he had received the degree of Doctor of Divinity from the College of Saint James, in Maryland; and the University of North Carolina had con- ferred upon him the degree of Doctor of Laws in 1887.
Bishop Lyman was twice married. His first wife, to whom he was married by Bishop Whittingham on the 24th of June, 1845, and who was the mother of all of his children, was Anna Margaret Albert, a daughter of Jacob Albert, of Baltimore. This estimable lady came with her husband to North Caro- lina, and spent the latter years of her life in Raleigh, where she died on the 13th of April, 1889, mourned by an extensive circle of friends. Her remains were carried to her former home in Baltimore for interment. The six children of Bishop and Mrs. Lyman were as follows:
I. Albert Benedict Lyman, M.D., LL.M. (Dublin), L. R. C. S., now deceased, who resided in Baltimore, and was a scholar and linguist of rare attainments, spending many years in study at various European universities, and serving as a Surgeon in the Red Cross Society on the German side during the Franco-Prussian War; he married Mary Jane Buckett, of Oxford, England, and left two sons and two daughters.
II. Frances Augusta Lyman, now deceased, who married the Honorable William Ruffin Cox, former Brigadier General in the Confederate Army and afterwards Judge, member of Congress, Grand Master of Masons, etc., by whom she left two sons.
III. William Whittingham Lyman, of St. Helena, California, who married Mrs. Sarah A. Nolan (born Amis), by whom he has two sons.
IV. Theodore Benedict Lyman, of Alameda, California, who has been married three times and has two daughters-one by his first wife, Emily Cunningham; and one by his second, Kate O'Donnell.

V. Augustus Julian Lyman, of Asheville, North Carolina, who graduated from Trinity College, at Hartford, Connecticut, and was admitted to the bar in the latter city, later being licensed by the Supreme Court of North Carolina; he married Julia Ellsworth, and has one son. His wife is a daughter of the late Pinckmey Webster Ellsworth, M.D., an eminent physi- cian and Army Surgeon, who was a son of Governor Ellsworth of Connecticut and grandson of Chief Justice Ellsworth of the United States Supreme Court.
VI. Anna Cornelia Roma Lyman, who married Robert L. Niles, of New York, a broker and member of the Stock Ex- change in that city, by whom she has three sons.
When he was nearly seventy-eight years old, February 6, 1893, Bishop Lyman was married to his second wife, Susan Boone Robertson, of Charleston, South Carolina, this lady being the daughter of Alexander Robertson, a zealous layman of the Diocese of South Carolina, and at one time senior warden of Saint Michael's Church in Charleston.
At the Diocesan Convention of 1893, a committee, which had been appointed to take the matter into consideration, re- ported a resolution (duly adopted) which set forth that, in view of the growth of the Diocese, and the additional work devolving upon Bishop Lyman in his old age, the office of As- sistant Bishop should be created. It was also resolved that, after dispatching business of a general nature, this Convention should adjourn to meet on the 27th of June, when an Assistant Bishop should be chosen by ballot. Accordingly, on May 19th, the adjournment took place, and the same body re-assembled in Christ Church at Raleigh on the 27th of June. The names presented for consideration, as qualified for the office of Assist- ant Bishop, were the Reverend Nathaniel Harding, the Rev- erend Joseph Blount Cheshire, Jr., the Reverend Thomas M. N. George, the Reverend Francis J. Murdoch, the Reverend Matthias M. Marshall, the Reverend Robert S. Barrett, and the Reverend Arthur S. Lloyd. On the thirty-ninth ballot, the

clergy elected the Reverend Doctor Cheshire, Jr., and presented him to the lay delegates as a candidate for Assistant Bishop, this election being duly ratified. On October 15th, in the same year, Doctor Cheshire was consecrated as Assistant Bishop of North Carolina in Calvary Church in his native town of Tar- borough. His father, the Reverend Joseph Blount Cheshire, Sr., was then Rector Emeritus of that Church, and had actively served there over fifty years. Two months later, upon the death of Bishop Lyman, the Assistant Bishop became Bishop of North Carolina. Though North Carolina has furnished many Bishops to other Dioceses, Doctor Cheshire was the first native North Carolinian ever elevated to the Episcopate within the borders of the State. He was born on March 27, 1850, and graduated from Trinity College, at Hartford, Connecticut. Later he practiced law, and then entered the sacred ministry. For many years he was Historiographer of the Diocese, and is now the highest living authority on the ecclesiastical history of North Carolina. Happily for the Diocese, his maturer years are blessed with robust health, and the Church will no doubt profit by his labors for many years to come. Two of his daugh- ters have volunteered to aid the Church's work in foreign mis- sion fields and are now stationed in China.
As it has been stated above that Bishop Cheshire was the first native North Carolinian ever elevated to the Episcopate within the State, it may be of interest to add that the present Bishops of all three North Carolina dioceses-Cheshire of North Caro- lina, Strange of East Carolina, and Horner of Asheville- are, without exception, "native and to the manner born."
During the course of Bishop Lyman's Episcopate, he aided in consecrating the following Bishops: John Henry Ducachet Wingfield of Northern California, December 2, 1874; Samuel Isaac Joseph Schereschewsky of Shanghai in China, October 31, 1877; David Buel Knickerbacker of Indiana, October 14, 1883; Alfred Augustin Watson of East Carolina, April 17, 1884; William Paret of Maryland, January 8, 1885; Cleland

Kinloch Nelson of Georgia (later translated to Diocese of At- lanta), February 24, 1892; Lemuel Henry Wells of Spokane in the State of Washington, December 16, 1892; John McKim of Tokyo in Japan, June 14, 1893; Frederick Rogers Graves of Shanghai in China, June 14, 1893; Ellison Capers of South Carolina, July 20, 1893; and Joseph Blount Cheshire of North Carolina, October 15, 1893.
When the labors of Bishop Lyman were lightened by the consecration of so zealous and untiring a co-worker as Doctor Cheshire as Assistant Bishop, it was hoped that this step would prolong the life of the aged prelate, but these hopes proved vain. In the month following Bishop Cheshire's consecration he was present with Bishop Lyman at a meeting of the Board of Managers of the Thompson Orphanage in Charlotte. While in that city, on November 30th-that being Saint Andrew's Day and also the time set by the President and the Governor for Thanksgiving Day-Bishop Lyman delivered a sermon of great force on the duty of the people not only to obey, but to honor, "the powers that be" in various departments of the civil governments of both State and nation. When in Charlotte, on this occasion, he mentioned to his friends the fact that December 11th, less than a fortnight thereafter, would be the twentieth anniversary of his consecration to the Episcopate, and expressed the wish that special services, in commemoration of this event, should be held in Raleigh, where the consecration had taken place. Upon hearing this, Bishop Cheshire canceled several of his own appointments and went to Raleigh to take part in the ceremony. Upon his arrival he was shocked to find the venerable Bishop Lyman in a great state of bodily weakness, and perceived at once that he was not in a condition to take part in the approaching celebration. With his usual resolu- tion, however, Bishop Lyman expressed his determination to be present at the commemorative services, and at once set about preparing an address which he expected to deliver. He grew weaker, however, and felt forced to summon his family physi-

cian, who at once informed him that serious consequences might result if he made this effort, and advised him to take to the bed. The anniversary of the Bishop's consecration was cele- brated at 8 o'clock on the evening of December 10th (the second Sunday in Advent) at Christ Church, where the consecration had taken place in 1873. Among the Bishops and other clergy present were the Right Reverend Joseph Blount Cheshire, the Right Reverend Alfred A. Watson, and the Reverend Doctors Matthias M. Marshall, Bennett Smedes, and I. McK. Pittenger. With the consent of Bishop Lyman, Bishop Cheshire requested Bishop Watson to preside. After evening prayer by Doctors Smedes and Pittenger, addresses were delivered by Bishop Cheshire, Bishop Watson, and Doctor Pittenger; and Doctor Marshall read a contemporaneous newspaper account of the consecration which was being commemorated. On the evening of the next day (the anniversary proper), Bishop Lyman gave a reception at his home; but, being still confined to his bed, was unable personally to receive the callers. Bishop Cheshire, hav- ing determined to resume his own visitations, took leave of him at the end of the evening. Referring to this farewell inter- view, he later said: "His last words to me were of kindly per- sonal regard and fatherly counsel, with assurances of his full approval of whatever I might feel that the interests of the Church called upon me to do when I could not consult with him, together with a special request that I would, so far as pos- sible, supply his place in one or two appointments which he could not fulfill in person."
Bishop Lyman died on the 13th of December, 1893, just three days after the celebration of the twentieth anniversary of his consecration to the Episcopate. His funeral took place on De- cember 15th from Christ Church. The remains were borne from his late residence to the Church on the shoulders of eight students from Saint Augustine's School, "who requested the honor of being the bearers of the mortal remains of him who had so deeply at heart the interests of the negroes of his Diocese,

and especially of that institution for their education." The honorary pall-bearers were the following laymen: Captain John Wilkes, Captain William L. London, Colonel Paul B. Means, Doctor E. Burke Haywood, Doctor Thomas D. Hogg, Doctor Peter E. Hines, Captain Samuel A. Ashe, Mr. Charles E. Johnson, Mr. Charles G. Latta, Mr. Hugh Morson, Doctor Richard H. Lewis, and Mr. Richard H. Battle. Among the Bishops present were the Right Reverend Joseph Blount Chesh- ire, who had become Bishop of North Carolina upon Bishop Lyman's death, the Right Reverend Alfred Augustin Watson, Bishop of East Carolina, and the Right Reverend Alfred Magill Randolph, Bishop of Southern Virginia. The pastoral staff of the late Bishop was carried before the coffin by his chaplain, the Reverend Charles Carroll Quin. After the remains came the family of the deceased and many friends, including Governor Elias Carr and other State officers. At the entrance to the church-yard, the sentences were begun by Bishop Randolph, who continued the services to the lesson, which was read by the Reverend Doctor Marshall, Rector of the Parish, and President of the Diocesan Convention. The Creed and prayers were said by Bishop Watson. The interment took place at Oakwood Cemetery, where the committal services were conducted by Bishop Cheshire. Over the grave now rests a marble slab con- taining this inscription :
In Memory of The Right Reverend THEODORE BENEDICT LYMAN, D.D., LL.D., D.C.L., Fourth Bishop of North Carolina. Born 27th Nov., 1S15. Consecrated Bishop 11th Dec., 1873 Died 13th Dec., 1893. "Well done, thou good and faithful servant."

Upon the completion of the handsome granite house of wor- ship which is now being erected by the congregation of the Church of the Good Shepherd, it is probable that the remains of Bishop Lyman will be placed beneath its chancel. He and his family were members of that Church when in Raleigh; and, in his will, he left a legacy to aid in the erection of the new building. He also left legacies to the Thompson Orphanage at Charlotte, and to the Permanent Episcopal Fund of the Diocese of North Carolina. His private theological library was turned over (under the terms of his will) to the Diocese, excepting two hundred volumes which were bequeathed to the library of Saint Augustine's School, at Raleigh.
As a true follower of the teachings of those "fishers of men" whose God-given doctrines he proclaimed, Bishop Lyman may be best described by the divine rule of conduct which bids us be "not slothful in business; fervent in spirit; serving the Lord." He came nearer to a literal fulfillment of the command "Go ye into all the world and preach the gospel to every creature" than any minister of God who ever lived in North Carolina. South- ward from his native New England, and east and west from his California abode to far away Cape Hatteras in the Diocese to which he was later called as Bishop, he had traversed the northern continent of the New World on his sacred mission. Throughout the kingdoms and empires of Europe he had trav- eled, and had even labored at his calling in "the Eternal City" where then reigned as temporal sovereign the head of a hostile church. In Mohamedon Syria, in the ancient land of Egypt, and within the sacred city of Jerusalem, his voice had been raised to bear witness of his faith. When sojourning as an honored guest among the nobility of Great Britain and preach- ing in the stately cathedrals of that kingdom, and sitting in council with the Fathers of the Church from all Christendom in the Congress at Lambeth Palace, he was recognized as a man well worthy of his exalted office. In the cabins of the poor and in the rude rural chapels of more needy parts of his own Diocese,

he was a welcome visitor and trusted friend, who contributed in no small degree to the material as well as spiritual wants of the destitute and desolate. He was ever a true friend of the negro, often visiting the schools as well as churches provided for that race, and daily summoning the domestics of his own household to join his family in prayer. From the record of one of his visits to New York, we learn of his preaching to con- gregations of Chinese, his sermons being translated by an in- terpreter. Nor were all of his journeys, particularly those in the wild mountainous regions of North Carolina, free from personal danger. Speaking of an experience on August 21, 1885, he says : "When a few miles from Brevard, in descending the last mountain range, we were placed in great peril by en- countering a swarm of yellow-jackets which nearly covered our horses. The horses became frantic and unmanageable; and we feared, every moment, a plunge over the precipice at our side. But a kind Providence guarded us, and we escaped without any accident or injury."
It is true that Bishop Lyman was sometimes more outspoken than tactful. He was a man of decided opinions and did not hesitate to say what he thought, whether his manner of expres- sion always seemed considerate or not. Yet he was kind-hearted, sympathetic, and generous with it all, and those who knew him most intimately were his greatest admirers.
Though the Diocese of North Carolina had been formed in 1817, it was not until May 22, 1823, that its first Bishop was consecrated. Between the latter date and Bishop Lyman's death about seventy years elapsed. What wonderful changes were wrought during that time! When Bishop Lyman died, many congregations in North Carolina had larger membership rolls than did the whole Diocese when Ravenscroft came, seventy years before. The Church, too, toward the end of the Episco- pate of Bishop Lyman, was becoming better understood and more appreciated by thoughtful members of the various Chris- tian denominations; and a surpliced clergyman was no longer
252
BISHOPS OF NORTH CAROLINA.
a novelty. Concerning this change in the public mind, Bishop Lyman himself, in his address to the Diocesan Convention of 1890, said: "Outside the ranks of our own communion, the Church is becoming better understood, and the principles which govern us more fully appreciated. We now very rarely hear the scornful charge of narrowness and bigotry. Men are more willing to hear what we have to say in defense of our position in regard to the historic continuity of the Church and its catho- lic and apostolic character. They see that we cling to and up- hold it, not because it suits our tastes and our preferences, but because we truly believe in its divine organization and its divine authority. And men are not willing to scoff at what they see to be deep and abiding and overwhelming convictions."
After the erection of the See House or Episcopal Residence in the grove of Saint Mary's at Raleigh, an eastern wing to the new building was added for use as a receptacle for the library of the Diocese, and Bishop Cheshire gave it the name of The Bishop Lyman Library, as a memorial to his predecessor in office.
During the whole course of his Episcopate, extending over a period of twenty years, Bishop Lyman was never absent from a single session of either the General Convention or the Diocesan Convention.
Five months after the death of Bishop Lyman, the Diocesan Convention of North Carolina met in the "twin city" of Win- ston-Salem; and, in the course of its session, that body took appropriate action in honor of his memory. On May 20, 1894, prior to its adjournment, the Right Reverend Ellison Capers, Bishop of South Carolina, delivered a memorial sermon in Saint Paul's Church, at Winston, before that gathering. Re- ferring to the churchmanship and doctrinal views of the de- ceased, in the course of his remarks, Bishop Capers said: "He came into the Protestant Episcopal Church after a full exami- nation of her claims upon his conscience and his reason, and he was ever the champion of her history, her doctrine, her dis- cipline and worship. To him she stood four-square for the

truth, as it is in Jesus-a great Scriptural structure founded on the Apostles and the Prophets, Jesus Christ being the corner- stone. For him the Prayer Book was the symbol and law of her doctrine and worship. Her constitution and canons ruled his ministry. The faith of the Church of the Apostolic Age, in its simplicity and fullness, was for him the ancient Catholic faith, and that faith he found in all its integrity in the Re- formed Anglican Communion, and taught in our Prayer Bock."
In person Bishop Lyman was a man of large frame and robust body, above middle height, with a general appearance decidedly patriarchal, and a countenance strong yet benign.
"A combination and a form, indeed, Where every god did seem to set his seal To give the world assurance of a man."
