Timothy T. Dwyer, 75 years old, one of the wealthiest real estate operators in St. Louis County, died at his home in the village of Dwyer yesterday morning, after an illness of several weeks. His death was not unexpected.
All except ten years of his life was spent in St. Louis County. He came from Ireland with his parents in 1849 to Creve Coeur.

At the beginning of the civil war Dwyer enlisted in the Confederate Army. He rose to orderly sergeant on the staff of Gen. Parsons. At the close of the war he owned a watch and small amount of Confederate money. He traded horses for a time, and then set up a blacksmith shop at Kirkwood, later moving to the Clayton and Denny roads, where he established the village of Dwyer.
For twenty years prior to 1895 he ran a butcher shop and mercantile establishment, which he finally sold to Fred W. Wipke. For thirty years he was a member of the School Board of his district. After retiring from the store he spent his time actively in his real estate business. Besides his second wife he is survived by the following sons and daughters: Arthur L., William P., John A. and Pearl T. Dwyer, Laura M. Denny, Bessie, Mabel and Genevieve Dwyer…..
