This gravestone was found April 2006 during step reconstruction at Trees's Place Art Gallery in Orleans. The stone had been placed carved side down and used as a step. Another stone found in the steps appears to have been taken from Orleans Cemetery many years ago. See Almira Harding (d 1850). It is reasonable to assume the Lyman stone was taken from Orleans Cemetery at the same time as the Harding stone. The Lyman stone is not listed in a 1960 survey of Orleans Cemetery. The epitaph suggests Charles Lyman was a Civil War casualty. The stone displays the initials O. N. L. for Oliver N. Linnell (1816 - 1892) who had a stone carving shop in Orleans.
