W. H. Byerly passed quietly into the arms of death on the evening of June 4th, 1893, after a protracted illness of four months of abscess of the brain accompanied by partial paralysis caused by a fall, and other affictions, aged 46 years, 5 months and 28 days.
Wm. H. Byerly, son of John and Amanda Byerly, was born in Rockingham county, Virginia, November 6th 1846. Moved with his parents to Sullivan county, Tennessee, in 1858. In 1870 he came to Kansas, and after remaining here a few years he returned to his parents in Blount county Tennessee. He married to Amanda Hinton in 1878 and they removed to Kansas in 1880 and settled near Neosho Rapids. Seven children were born to them, five girls and two boys, two of whom have gone before to that brighter and better Kingdom.
The deceased was a member of the Presbyterian church for some years in his early manhood, and he expressed himself as having the blessed assurance that he would soon be at rest with his Ceator, just before his death. He was a member of the A.O.U.W. Louge of Hartford, and the Louge gave him unceasing care during his entire illness. He bore his sickness very patiently; was deprived of his mantal faculties the greater part of the time during his illness, but was restored to his for about two weeks prior to his death; meanwhile he talked of his departure for another world which he knew was near at hand and planned to the best of his ability for the future welfare of his loved ones whom he knew must still survive though the conflicts of life. On account of paralysis of his throat it was impossible for him to swallow the greater part of the time. Since the 2nd of May he had not been able to swallow any solid food. His suffering was severe and singularly beyond parallel.
The funeral services, which were appropriately conducted by Rev. R. T. Harkness, of Hartford, who delivered a most touching and beautiful sermon, were held at the M. P. church at Neosho Rapids on Monday afternoon. A large representation of the A.O.U.W. Lodge who had charge of the remains, were present. The song service was well rendered by the choir. At the grave the ritualistic ceremony of the Lodge was preformed in an impressive mammer and the mortal remains were tenderly laid to rest by his brothers. To the bereaved family and relatives is exended the deep sympathy of many friends in this their dark hour of affliction. The regard for the departed was manifested by one of the longest processions that has ever passed from the city to Mount Hope cemetery. Regina, Neosho Rapids.
