Obituary of Lansing H. Tyler:

Heading: DEATH OF L. H. TYLER
Death relieved the suffering of one of our most respected citizens, Monday afternoon at one o'clock when the spirit of Mr. L. H. Tyler passed into the great beyond.

Mr. Tyler had been in poor health for a long time but was able to be up and about some, up to the 21st of June, on which date he was out riding with his daughter. On the 22nd he was stricken with paralysis, since which time he had been growing steadily weaker until he passed quietly away on the day and hour mentioned. He was in his 70th year, and leaves to mourn, a widow, three sons, Simeon, Dudley, and Ray Tyler, and one daughter, Mrs. Cora Blake, besides several grandchildren.

Mr. Tyler had been a resident of this vicinity for many years, and was one of the universally liked and respected men of the community. He will be sadly missed.

The funeral was held Wednesday forenoon, at the home, and burial made in Remington Cemetery.

Lansing Howard Tyler was born in Plainfield, Will Co., Ill., January 24, 1851. On October 20, 1880, he was united in marriage to Alice Lillian Ray, to which union seven children were born. Of these three died in infancy. Those still living, who with their mother, remain to mourn the loss of their father, are Mrs. Cora Blake, Mr. Simeon and Mr. Dudley Tyler, all of Remington, and Mr. Ray Tyler, of Brighton, Colo. With these are eleven grandchildren.

Mr. Tyler died at his home on July 4th, 1921, aged 70 years, 5 months and 10 days.

With his wife he moved from a not far distant farm to his present home about four years ago, having lived in the vicinity of Remington since 1889. His long residence in this community had given him a wide circle of friendships.

Jasper County Health Department Death Records list Lansing's father as Simeon B. Tyler.
