Major L. S. Tyler
a Message

The Gate City late Yesterday after
noon from LOS Angeles, which contain
ed facts concerning the life and sad
death OF Major Loren s. Tyler. the
essentials OF which were fully given

that Major Tyler Of IA South Wilton
Place, Los Angeles, died Tuesday

lowing an operation for appendicitis.
The funeral services were held yes.
terday.
The message recalled the fact that
Major Tyler was one of the three
historians OF his regiment, and in his
deep interest in the work he collected
many interesting war relics, among
them being collection Of portraits
OF all Iowans who attained the rank
OF lieutenant colonel, colonel and
general. 1t is the most complete col
lection Of its kind in existence.
The message also contains the very
agreeable assurance that Mrs. Tyler
Is convalescent from the partial par
alytic stroke which she suffered about
three months ago. Speaking OF Major
and Mrs. Tyler the message adds:
Their ideal home life had endeared
them to their many friends in Los
Angeles and elsewhere. He won his
way to the hearts of his fellows by
his quiet, unassuming, genial and al
most dimdent manner. He had that
uhdefinable personal magnetism which
compels respect. He was the syno-
nym Of courtesy in business and in
tile social world and had for everyone
kindly, word and cheering smile,
and in the loss Of Major Tyler the city
loses one of its upright and honorable
citizens"
