Lyman R. Sherman served as a member of the Seven Presidents of the Seventy of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints, which was also designated as the First Council of the Seventy at that time. Later it would be called the Presidency of the Seventy.[1]. He was released when it was realized that he had been ordained previously as a high priest.
He was born on May 22, 1804. He married Delcena Didamia Johnson in 1829 and together they had six children. They were baptized in January 1832 and moved to Kirtland, Ohio, in 1833. He helped lay the cornerstones of the Kirtland Temple in July 1833 and participated in its dedication in 1836.
He participated in Zion's Camp in 1834. He served in the Kirtland High Council in 1837, and after moving to Far West, Missouri, was called temporarily as a high councilor.
Joseph Smith received a revelation on his behalf in December 1835, which is recorded in section 108 of the Doctrine and Covenants.
Lyman died on January 27, 1839, in Far West, from mob attacks and the harsh winter before he was able to be notified that he had been called to serve as an apostle in the Quorum of the Twelve.
