Captain Elman Tyler Dead
Prominent Henderson Man Dies After Brief Illness
Well Known Thoughout County and State as Proprietor of Henderson Harbor Summer Resort
Captain Elman Tyler, one of the best known residents of Jefferson County, died at his home at Henderson Harbor, this forenoon at 10:30 aged 77 years.
The funeral will be held tomorrow (Sunday) afternoon from his late residence, with Interment in Evergreen Cemetery.
Captain Elman Tyler was born at Milford, Cattarautus County, New York in 1829. His parents were Harry Tyler and Ann (Cole) Tyler. As a boy he assisted his father, who was a weaver at Butterville in the town of Henderson.
He early learned carriage making, and carried on shops of his own at Roberts Corners and Henderson.
He married Cynthia Smith in 1855, by whom he had four children: Bert, who lives in Henderson ; Etta, wife of Attorney Arthur L. Chapman of Watertown, and George and Lottie, deceased.
His wife died in 1896. His brother, L. W. Tyler of Theresa, and a sister, Mrs. Hattie Poland of Walla Walla, Washington, also survive him, besides his grandchildren, Harry B. Tyler, Herbert A. Tyler, Barrett I. Chapman and Dorothy Chapman.
He was first lieutenant in the Tenth New York Heavy Artillery Volunteers.
About 1866 he established three cheese factories In Henderson, the first in the town.
In 1869 he was appointed deputy collector of customs at Henderson Harbor, and moved to the place which has become so well known as "Tyler's," and where he has since resided. To accommodate a few friends and increase his income the family took a few summer boarders. In this small beginning he found his life work, which he followed for 35 years with all the enthusiasm, perseverance, intelligence and force of character that made his personality the dominant feature and an ever pleasant memory of an outing at '"Tyler's." His fervent prayer, "to die in the harness," has been granted.
He was a Republican of stalwart proclivities, and always active. The owner of a large apple orchard, he took a deep interest in fruit culture. He was a Universalist in belief, but I not a member of that church. It is too early to say just what will be done with the business, but it is probable that it will be continued by his son, Bert and that the house will be open after the funeral.
