Lyman Aughey received his education in the Red Bank public school of Milford Township. He has passed his entire life on the homestead farm, which he cultivated on shares from the time he was twenty-one, until the death of his father in 1889, when he took entire charge of its management. He has devoted much attention to the rearing of improved live stock; and is especially conspicuous in the community as an extensive beekeeper, as were also his father and grandfather before him.

Lyman Aughey was married in Duncannon, Perry County, in 1872, to Miss Clara A. Logan, born in Port Royal, daughter of James D. Logan, a tailor of that place. Their children are: Minnie B., who died young; Mary L., who taught school for three terms in Juniata County, and was graduated from the Shippensburg Normal School, June 30, 1897; and Nevin, residing on the homestead.

His wife having died in 1876, Mr. Aughey was again married, January 20, 1880, in Mifflintown, to Miss Mary A. Cramer, born in Cambria County, and a daughter of Daniel F. Cramer, whose father, also named Daniel, was a soldier in the Revolutionary war. Their children are: Fannie F.; Ira R.; Henry F.; and Ray Elton.

Mr. Aughey has held the positions of township clerk and assessor. He is a Democrat. He is a prominent member of the Lutheran church, in which he has held the office of deacon, and has also been active in Sunday-school work, both as a teacher and as secretary of the school.
