Hon. William Dexter Tyler, an aged cit
lien of this town died on Wednesday last,
Sept. 26th.. He was born in Essex, March

old at his death. He received his early
education in his native town, and in 1854.

he was admitted to the Franklin County
Bar, and in 1863 removed to Irasburg.
After serving year as registrar, he began
praotio1ng law here, and has kept his Office
open for over forty-one years. During
that time he has filed the office of town
clerk Tor thirty seven years, and in 1S74-75
ne represented the town in the legislature
OF the state. Here he was conspicuous by
his strenuous campaign against the removal
OF the shire seat from Irasburg to New
port, and succeeded in postponing for a
while that event. Mr.. Tyler has been a
man of strong and sturdy character. He
has bean useful citizen and his services
to the town in his official capacities have
been Invaluable His r borough knowledge
of law has ensured all HWn business being
done in legally correct manner, and his
habits of thCEeughness and correctness
have guaranteed the accuracy of all his
work. As lawyer he has been notable

would never undertake case that had not
neral as well as legal right to commend it,.
repeatedly refused to write papers for per-
sons If those pa pers were liable to lead to
misunderstanding and regrets. No amount
OF influences could tempt him to .counte-
nance wrong. Fearless and outspoken In
convictions, a0d clinging with tenaclty to
plans when once they were formulated in
his mind he always. had a positive policy
and insisted that business be done in
proper farm and on proper principles. He
was unaompromisiDg with all opponents,
and proved himself to be man and citi- :
zen of the old school, the passing of which
in these times of hurry stto be deplored..
OF lats years he turned his attention much.
towards religious things, became an earnest
studsnt of the Bible, and generous sup
porter of both churches in his town. He
was member of the BAPTIST church in Es-
seq, to the support Of which he also con-
tributed regularly. He will be missed IN
.Lsasburg, where he was familiar figure,
and seemed to be town institution all by
himself. He leaves one brother, Hon. Mil
ton r. Tyler of st. Paul, Mimi, who visited
him for five weeks during the past sum
