He was a faithful member of the Methodist church and one of the most generous contributors and his death will be keenly felt not only in the church but in the entire community. He is survived by one daughter, Mrs. Belle Borst of Oneonta, a granddaughter, Mrs. Francis Tyler of Middlefield and by three great grandchildren, Cora, Madeline, and Mahlon Tyler; also by several nieces and nephews. The funeral was held from his late home Monday at 2 p.m., his pastor, the Rev. P.S. Lehman officiating. Burial in the family plot in the Middlefield cemetery. There were several beautiful floral tributes from relatives and from the Methodist church.
