There were born to this union two daughters, Arvilla, 9 years old, and Mildred, 4 years old. Mrs. Tyler was converted and joined the U.B. church at Hillsdale twenty years ago. She lived a consistent Christian life until death.

She was a faithful wife and loving mother, kind and loving to all who knew her.

She leaves besides her husband and daughters, a father and two sisters, Mrs. Eunice Dwyer and Mrs. Fern Haynes, three brothers, H.E., W.K., and Artie Evans to mourn her death.

Her mother died about three years ago. One sister, Mrs. Hazel Deacon, also preceded her in death.
