   Though largely absent from church records, Lyman was a signatory of the Kirtland Safety Society in 1837, was listed as a high priest and endowed in the Nauvoo temple on 17 December 1845, and died in Winter Quarters in 1847—all suggesting he was active with the body of the Saints throughout the remainder of his life. No public apology from Cutler appears in extant records, but his continued appearance in church documents suggests he remained in church activity and leadership for some time.
