Biographies
FRANK T.
LYMAN
FRANK T. LYMAN, of the firm of Crouch & Lyman, plumbers and gas-fitters, 511 J street, Sacramento, was born in Sacramento in January, 1857, a son of P. H. Lyman, who will be remembered by all the old settlers in the county as the proprietor of the Sutterville Brewery. He is now, however, a resident of San Francisco. Frank T. received his education in the public schools of Sacramento and at Hunt’s Academy. In 1873 his parents removed to San Francisco, and soon after apprenticed him to the plumbing business. After learning his trade he came to Sacramento, and was engaged as foreman by George T. Bush, than one of the most prominent plumbers in Sacramento, with whom he remained till Mr. Bush discontinued business, when he went to work for Tom Scott in the capacity of foreman. In August, 1887, he formed a partnership with Harrison R. Crouch, locating at 511 J street. Mr. Lyman is recognized as one of the most practical plumbers in the city, and on matters of sanitary engineering is considered an authority. To this branch of plumbing he has given a great deal of time and study. For a firm of young men they may justly feel proud of their standing, having been awarded some very large contracts. Mr. Lyman was married to Miss Mary J. Maloy, of Sacramento, in February, 1888. Politcally he is Democrat, and, like his partner, displays quite an ambitious interest in local matters.
