Harriett August “Hattie” (Barker) Tyler – August 30, 1845 – March 5, 1917

Harriett August Barker was born at Watertown, New York, on August 30, 1845, and died at Marble Rock, Iowa, on March 5, 1917, aged 71 years, 6 months and 6 days.

She was united in marriage to Avery B. Tyler at Sparta, Wisconsin, January 20, 1867, and to this union were born five children, four daughters, Mrs. G. E. Millard, of Atkin, Minnesota; Mrs. H. E.

Tyler, of North Dakota, all of whom with the husband are left to mourn her loss.

A large part of the girlhood of Mrs. Tyler was spent in Iowa and about twenty years ago Mr. and Mrs. Tyler lived for a short time in Marble Rock.

Since that time their home has been in Clear Lake, South Dakota, until about six years ago when they went to Oregon. A little over a year ago they returned to Marble Rock to make this place their home.

Mrs. Tyler was a faithful member of the W.C.T.U serving for years as president and of the W.R.C. and as long as health permitted, active in the work.

The deceased became a Christian in childhood and remained a faithful follower of and worker for her Master, in the Baptist church until He called her home.

Funeral services were conducted by Rev. V. C. Kelford, pastor of the Baptist church Thursday afternoon, March 8, 1917, at the home of Mr. and Mrs. H. G. Ramsay and the body laid to rest in West Side Cemetery.

With the exception of Mrs. Millard and the son all of the children and a nephew, N. D. Barker of Marshall, Minnesota, were able to be at the funeral.
