(2) Obituary for Clara (Zinser) Tyler:
Heading: "Mrs. Clara Tyler Dies Friday"
Mrs. Clara Tyler widow of Dudley Tyler, passed away Friday, April 17, at the family home west of Remington, following an illness of a few weeks. Funeral services were held Sunday afternoon at the Remington M. E. Church, with interment in Remington cemetery.
Clara Zinser, daughter of Joel and Martha Zinser was born at El Paso, Ill., Feb. 8, 1882. With her parents she moved to the farm southwest of Remington in the spring of 1896. She was united with the church at El Paso, when just a young girl, bringing her letter to the Remington Methodist Church in 1898. She graduated with the class of 1901 from the Remington High School, and taught school the following year.
On March 9, 1905 she was united in marriage with Dudley Tyler. To this union were born three sons, Hartley, Donald and Ralph. Her husband preceded her in death, May 9, 1934.
For the past few years she has been in frail health, always courageous, she maintained her standards of home-making until about a month ago, since which time, she has patiently endured suffering and discomfort. Her sister, Mrs. J. W. Davitt has been with her during her last illness, ministering to her, out of the fullness of love, until she peacefully fell asleep in Jesus on April 17, 1936.
She is survived by her three sons, two grandchildren and one sister, Mrs. Davitt of El Paso, Ill. Also two nephews, one of whom, Richard Hannah, made his home with her, and Robert Zinser of Indianapolis. A brother Harvey Zinser, and sister Margurite Hannah preceded her in death. She endeared herself to many friends with the sweetness and beauty of her character.
She gave us her strength from her tiny store.
We accept it as our due.
And we never dreamed
We had exhausted the source
Til her dear, patient life was through.
I hope she knew how we loved her
Though our words were faltering and few,
I know how much we loved her --
But oh, how I hope she knew.
Conflicting Death Records: Jasper County Health Department Death Records show that Clara's date of death was the 18th of April, in contrast with different newspaper obituaries which indicate the date of death was the 17th. The Health Dept. record lists her age as 54 years, 2 months, and 9 days. By using this age and calculating from her birth date, April 17th seems to be the more probable date of death, and matches the newspapers articles as well.
