TYLER DEAD Ira D. Tayler, one of the old settlers of St. Charles, died at the residence of his daughter, Mrs. Lucinda Carrier, in Aurora, on Monday morning last, at 2:43, aged 85 years 1 month and 10 days. The deceased came to St. Charles in 1835, bringing his bride with him, and for many years he resided on the farm now owned by his son D. J. Tyler. He had been in very poor health since January, and his sufferings in his last days of life were intensified by a fall five weeks ago, in which he sustained the fracture of a hip. The funeral occurred on Wednesday, Rev. Wm. Morrison officiating. The remains were interred in the North cemetery, beside those of the beloved wife, who went along ahead on the way of light. Two sons, Daniel J., of this city, and John of Beloit, and one daughter, Mrs. Lucinda Carrier, of Aurora, survive him. An extended obituary will be published next week.
