Northern States Mission 1914-1916

Marvin F. Lyman - 1915

Missionaries had photos taken of themselves that they gave to other missionaries.

Back of postcard. Doesn't Grandpa Lyman have beautiful handwriting!?!

Q: Where did Marvin Lyman serve his mission?

A: Northern States Mission and the same mission that his father served in

"Marvin said that the first thing he was conscious of was a letter from Box "B" in Salt Lake City. Anyone with a letter from Box "B" knew what is meant and that they were expected to be ready to accept a call to preach the gospel whever they were called."

I'm wondering why Marvin is dressed as a catholic priest?

Are these 'priests' trying to convert Elder Lyman???

"We didn't fly to our destination, we went by train. We were not provided a car, not even a bicycle to take us where we were sent. We met our new companion, were assigned a district and set out on our mission largely without purse or script. We walked miles each day and knocked on many doors, but as any missionary will tell you, there are almost always good people who will take you in."
