son of Chief Justice Royal Tyler and Elizabeth Palmer
Fitted at Phillip Exeter Academy, entered Harvard as a sophomore and graduated in 1834. Studied law with Hon Charles C Loring, a leading attorney of Boston where he was admitted tot he bar in 1837. He was admitted to the Windham County bar on his Massachusetts certificate. He was a member of the firm Keyes & Tyler for a short time, removing to Newfane VT to take charge of the business of Charles K Field during his Western absence. At this time he was elected state's attorney for the county, and in 1844 appointed register of probate. In 1846 he was elected (by legislature) judge of probate for the District of Marlboro; in 1851 he was appointed county clerk; both of these latter offices were honored by his incumbency up to the time of his death.
His very superior mental endowments and exception legal attainments never won the goal they would nobly have dignified. Never grasping for position, he promptly adapted himself to the duties first at hand, in which his natural habit of application so deeply seated him that he never sought for change. In the words of eulogium delivered at the bar, "Everybody, whether high or low, rich or poor, could approach him, confident of being fairly dealt with and kindly treated. To be of service to his fellowmen and to do good in the world were prominent among his many good qualities." Judge Tyler was buried from St Michael's Episcopal Church of which he was a founder and for many years senior warden.
