Beverly Ward Tyner was born in Wabash County, Indiana on March 21, 1848, died at the home of his daughter, Mrs. C. Hungerford, near Helena, Oklahoma, October 1, 1913, aged 65 years, 6 months, and 8 days.
He enlisted in Company K, 101st Indiana Infantry on March 3, 1863, and was honorably discharged on August 25, 1865.
At the close of the war he returned to his home in Indiana, where on August 7, 1867, he was married to Miss Sarah Salors.
To this union were born five children, four girls and one boy. The oldest child, a daughter died about six years ago, and the wife three years ago.
He, with his family, moved from Indiana in 1878 and located in Kingman, Kansas, and moved to Oklahoma in 1883, settling on a farm in this, then Woods, now Alfalfa County.
Eight years ago, while Helena was a very young town, he cast his lot with us and was a prominent factor in building of the town, although a quiet worker, always looking for the best interest both in business and morals.
Brother Tyner was converted and joined the Baptist Church early in life, and later united with the Methodist Church, of which he was a faithful member until death.
He was a member of the Masonic order and of the G.A.R., being a charger member of the local post and its only Quartermaster.
It was in the home, however, where the life shown out in its beauty; it was here where he touched the life of his son and daughters and inspired them to righter, brighter manhood and womanhood, or with sympathizing spirit he lightened the cares of the mother during her lifetime, that his excellencies gave their brightest rays.
It is said by those who knew him best that "faithfulness could be written upon every page of his life."
