History

Brothers William (1794-1857), Henry (1813-1897), and Benjamin Lyman (1810-1878) operated the chemist business Wm. Lyman & Co. from 1836 until William’s retirement in 1855. The drug shop was originally founded by their uncle, Lewis Lyman, with George Wadsworth sometime around 1800. When Lewis Lyman moved to New York in 1819, the store passed to an uncle, Samuel Hedge, and to his eldest son, William Lyman, who ran the firm as Hedge and Lyman. Younger brothers Benjamin and Henry entered the firm in 1827 and 1829 respectively.
