Pioneer Lyman Crockett Dies in Reno at 74
Lyman L. Crockett, a Nevada pioneer and former Lyons County official, died at his Reno home at 7:30 pm after eight months of heart trouble. Born March 1, 1831 in Maine, he served as State Treasurer from 1888 to 1892 and held roles with the United States Mint. A private service will be followed by a Masonic ritual at the Masonic Temple. He leaves a wife and was esteemed for his long business career and charitable nature. The obituary notes his early migration west, lumber business in Dayton and Washoe City, and later partnership with C. A. Bragg. The piece also mentions a separate community report about band concerts, a workplace accident, and a lengthy column on the Nevada irrigation project led by Francis G. Newlands and the Reclamation Act highlighting a new era of agricultural development and population growth.
