Obituary:

Sadden Death. Friends and relatives in Napoleon were startled Thursday morning upon learning that R. C. Tyler. "Roll" as he was familiarly known, had died suddenly at Hamler the night before. The particulars of his death are about as follows: Wednesday evening he attended church with a friend, in his usual good health, but immediately after services be complained to a friend that his arm and side felt curious. He then went to his boarding house, and on entering spoke and said he guessed he would retire as he wanted to get up early in the morning. He had no more than got into his bed when a noise was heard from his room by those below, and upon going to him he was found to be in much agony and had lost the use of his arm and one side. He was also very sick at the stomach and complained of a severe pain in his head. A physician was sent for, but Mr. Tyler did not rally and within forty minutes was dead. The physician pronounced it paralysis. "Roll" was in the 87th year of his age, and at the time of his death was teaching school in Hamler, where he had made hosts of friends among citizens and his scholars, by his upright behavior and gentlemanly qualities. His funeral took place on Friday, from the residence of his father, Dr. A. H. Tyler, under the auspices of Co. F., O. N. G.
