State Legislature asa representative in
Congress. United States Senator, Cover
nor Of his State,sa and as Vice-President,
and each became President by the death
OF his running mate on the Preslden-

Tyler died at Richmond In 1867. as mem.
Der of the Confederate Congress. MT.
Tyler was also q member of the Conyen-
