He was carly placed upon his own resources, for when he was about two years oid his father left home for the western country, never to return, and is supposed to have died in New Orleans.
At the age of eighteen, just a year after the organization of the church, he became somewhat thoughtful on religious subjects. In the spring of 1832, Lyman E. Johnson and Orson Pratt visited the neighborhood where he lived and Amasa believed in their doctrine and was baptised by the former on April 27, 1832, being confirmed the following day by Orson Pratt.
On account of his joining the Latter-day Saints ill feeling arose against him, in his uncie's family where he resided, and for that reason he set off for a journey with only scanty provisions and clothing. He arrived at Lyons, Wayne Co., New York, and hired out to Thomas Lackey, who, by- the-bye, was the man who purchased Martin Harris' farm when he sold it to raise money for printing the Book of Mormon. He oniy stopped here a couple of weeks, and then made his way to Buffalo, and thence to Cleveland, Ohio, and later to Hyrum, Portage Co., Ohio, where he was received by Father Johnson and family. He soon met the Prophet Joseph Smith and was given a living testimony by the spirit that he was a man of God. He was called on a mission on the 23d of August, 1832, by the Prophet Joseph, who ordained him an elder, and labored during the following winter with Zerubabel Snow in southern Ohio and Cabie Co., Virginia. They returned to Kirtiand early the following spring having added forty souis to the church.
He filled a second mission with William F. Cahoon, leaving March 21, 1833, and journeying as far as Chautauqua and Cattaraugus counties, New York. During this mission he heid 150 meetings and there were about a hundred souls added to the church. While on this mission the cail reached him to go to Missouri. Arriving in Kirtiand on May 1st, 1834, a few days later he joined Zion's Camp at New Portage, and traveled with this organization to Missouri, suffering all the privations and difficulties of that famous trip, Hav- ing attended the dedication of the Kirtland temple, in the spring of 1836, in company with Elder Nathan Tanner he fliied another mission that year to the state of New York.
In 1837, he went to Missouri and there experienced all the persecutions to which those of his belief were subjected. His family in the meantime were enabled to move to Iiiinois and he joined them in March, 1839. During that year he made two dangerous trips to Missouri for the purpose of assisting Eider Pariey P. Pratt and his fellow-prisoners and to attend to unsettied business.
He settied in Iowa in the spring of 1840, building a cabin for his family on the half-breed Indian tract in Lee county. 1n 1841, with his family, he moved to Nauvoo and later was calied on a mission to northern Iliinois and Wisconsin. He was subsequently directed in company with Peter Haws to go on a mission to secure means to build the Nauvoo temple and Nauvoo House, going as far east as Indiana.
In the spring of 1842 he was sent on a mission to the state of Tennessee with Horace K. Whitney and others. On the 20th of August, 1842, Elder Lyman was ordained to the apostieship, and the following month sent on a mission to southern Illinois in company with Elder George A. Smith, being a part of the time in company with Brigham Young and Heber C. Kimball.
He went through many of the privations and trials at Nauvoo and fliied many other missions in the states around about. In the spring of 1844 he went to Nauvoo to attend the April Conference, and it was here determined that he should go to Boston. He had proceeded only as far as Cincinnati (remaining until July), when he received the news of the massacre of the prophet and patriarch, Joseph and Hyrum Smith. He was recaiied to Nauvoo, arriving there July 31, 1844, and was present at the meeting at Nauvoo on August 8th following when the twelve apostles were acknowledged as the presiding quorum of the church. He rendered efficient aid during the exodus of his people from Iilinois in 1846, and was one of the pioneers of Utah in 1847.
In 1848 he led a large company of immigrants to the great Salt Lake valley. 1n 1850 he went on a mission to California, returning September 30th, of that year, and in 1851 he and Apostle Charies C. Rich were appointed to lead a company of settlers to California. This company left Payson, March 24, 1851, and arrived at San Bernardino the following June. It was a few months later, in September, that the ranch of San Bernardino was purchased, and a settlement was located. This was continued until 1857, when the Johnston army-Echo Canyon hostilities caused it to disintegrate when most of the inhabitants had gone to Utah.
In 1860 he filied a mission to Great Britain, arriving July 27th, and in connection with Apostle Charles C. Rich pre- sided over the European mission until March 14, 1862. when he returned home. It was while on this mission that he delivered the remarkable sermon at Dundee, Scotland, March 16, 1862, in which he denied the atonement of the Savior. Some time later he was summoned to answer the charge of having preached false doctrine, and he acknowledged his error, and signed a document January 23, 1867, in which he asked forgiveness of the authorities. Soon after, however, he again preached in the same strain, and was finally excommunicated May 12, 1870. He died at Fillmore, Millard county, Utah, February 4, 1877.

When Joseph Smith and his brother Hyrum were assassin- ated at Carthage jail, in his native state of Illinois, President Francis M. Lyman was four and one-half years old. Only as a child would know and remember such great personages was it possible for him to know them, but in his mature manhood he has had a thorough knowledge of all their successors and through them a better understanding of those who have gone before. At home and abroad for fifty years, President Lyman has been in the missionary service, beginning the work at the age of twenty. He has officiated in the offices of elder, seventy, high priest and an apostle during the past thirty years of his life. Three missions in Europe, occupying all together seven and one-half years, have been filied by him.
Eider Lyman's childhood was spent in Illinois, Indiana, Nebraska, Utah and California. For six years he lived at San Bernardino, Cai., and he was married there in 1857. During that year he returned to Utah, it being the time of the Echo Canyon imbroglio, and resided later in Cedar City, Beaver, and Farmington. After his first mission in 1860-2, he located with his father and family, under the direction of President Brigham Young, at Fillmore, and it was his home for fourteen years. During this time he en- gaged enthusiastically in all the activities of the people of Millard county, being much of the time their public and official servant.
On March 23, 1866, he was appointed assistant assessor of internal revenue for District No. 6 of Utah, by Hugh McCulloch, then secretary of the U. S. treasury. He served in this capacity under the following assessors: Col. J. C. Little, A. L. Chetlain, John E. Smith, Richard V. Morris, and Dr. John P. Taggart.
It was in 1866 that Elder Lyman with his father built the O. K. Flour Mills of Filimore, and he was largely engaged in the flour and grain trade as well as in many more busi- ness enterprises.
In September, 1867, he was commissioned by Governor Durkce as lieutenant colonel of the first regiment of militia in the Pauvan military district. Two years later, 1869, he was elected a member of the house of representatives of the general assembly of the state of Deseret for Miliard county and subsequently represented that county in the territorial legislature of Utah in the 17th, 18th, 22d and 23d sessions, and Tooele county in the 24th and 25th sessions. In the 25th session (1882), he acted as speaker of the house, while President Joseph F. Smith was president of the council (now senatc).
He served as high councilor in Millard stake about six years, and in political activities occupied the positions of district attorney, superintendent of common schools, county and probate cierk and recorder. He was also secretary and treasurer of the county cooperative companics, and did the land business of the county, such as homesteading, pre- ëmpting and the entering of townsites with Probate Judge Edward Partridge and Mayor Joseph V. Robison. It was during the organization of the stakes of Zion by President Brigham Young in 1877 [died Aug. 29 of that year], that Eider Lyman was called to preside over the Tooele stake of Zion when it was organized by [Apostie] President John Taylor and the other apostles on June 24, 1877. Later he was chosen by election of the people as a representative of Tooele county, and county clerk and recorder, serving in those positions about four years. He had a most thrilling experience in the fight with the liberais, and it was during his term of office that the people succeeded in redeeming Tooele county from their unrighteous ruie.
With Elders Erastus Snow, Brigham Young, Jr., and eight others, he went on a mission, in 1880, to San Juan county,
Utah, and into Colorado, New Mexico and Arizona. During this trip they traveled 1,800 miles with teams. It was during this year and while at Orderville, Kane county, on the 10th of October, that he was chosen at the general semi- annual conference of the church, one of the council of the twelve apostles, John Henry Smith being chosen at the same time. Both were ordained by President John Tayior and Wiiford Woodruff on the 27th of October, 1880, in the Endowment House.
He fliled a second mission to Europe in 1873-4-5, just before moving to Tooele. Since he was chosen an apostie he has been engaged exclusively in the spiritual and tem- poral welfare of the people of the church. He has visited the stakes of Zion over and over again and given counsei and advice to the people serving towards their spiritual growth and strength. In a temporal way he has served as a director In such institutions as Z. C. M. I., Zion's Savings Bank and Trust Company, Consolidated Wagon and Machine Company, Home Fire Insurance Company, Heber J. Grant & Company, Deseret National Bank, Beneficial Life Insur- ance Company, Zion's Cooperative .Home Building and Real Estate Company, president and director Utah Pioneers Book Publishing Company, etc.
After the death of President Brigham Young, Jr., in 1903, he was sustained president of the council of the twelve and was biessed and set apart for that presidency in the tempie by President Joseph F. Smith and his counselors and the twelve, on the 7th of July, 1904, since which time he has fllied another mission to Europe, presiding over the European mission, May, 1901, to January, 1904, besides labor- ing diligently in his office and calling at home. While on this last mission, he not only visited many of the European countries, including Russia, but also the Holy Land, and Egypt, and wherever he went he turned the keys for the establishment of liberty and the preaching of the Gospel. His traveling companions were Elders Sylvester Q. and Joseph J. Cannon.
