Pioneer Citizen Was War Veteran
Another prominent Canadian county pioneer answered the last call, on Saturday of last week, when J. N. Pyle passed away at his home at 710 South Macomb at the age of 81 years. He has been in a failing condition for several months.
Mr. Pyle was born in Cedar county, Mo., on January 22, 1842. As a young man he saw service during the Civil war as a cavalyman under General Joe Shelby. He had the remarkable record of passing through the entire four years of fighting without Injury, although he participated in many severe engagements and on two occasions had horses killed under him.
At the conclusion of the war Mr. Pyle emigrated to Texas, and later returned to Missouri. From there he moved to No Man’s Land. When the central portion of Oklahoma was opened in 1889. he made the race taking up a homestead four miles southeast of El Reno. He resided on the farm until a few years ago, when he moved to this city and retired from active work.
On Christmas day in 1865 he was united in marriage in Missouri to Miss Mary Agnes Kelly. who survives him, together with six daughters, eight grandchildren and three great-grandchildren. The daughters are, Mrs. Alva Williams, Mrs. T. H. Ellison, Mrs. John Sams, Mrs. Clyde Matthews and Mrs. Stella Beets, all of El Reno, and Mrs. T. L. Fischer of Minco.
Funeral services were conducted from the family residence on Monday morning, Rev. C. C. Hightower being assisted by Rev. H. C. Garrett of Oklahoma City and Rev. R. O. Callahan of Wynnewood, both former pastors of St. John’s Methodist church, South of El Reno. Interment was made in the El Reno cemetery.
