Died in Rantoul
On Saturday evening at nine o’clock William Tyson died at his home in the town of Rantoul at the age of eighty-one years and four months.
The deceased was born in the state of New York, June 14, 1835. He came to Wisconsin in 1845 with his parents, the late Mr. and Mrs. Wm. Tyson, who settled in the town of Shields, Dodge County. There he grew to manhood and followed the occupation of a farmer until 1871 when he was married to Bridget Smith at Richwood and the same year they came to Calumet County leasing the Geo. Reightley farm in the town of Chilton which they worked for some fifteen years. They later moved to the Loftus farm in Rantoul and then onto what is known as the O’Rourke place. Mr. Tyson was a hard working man and enjoyed good health until some four years ago when he was stricken with paralysis, since which time he was unable to do manual labor although he recovered sufficiently to be up and around his home. Six weeks ago he had another stroke of paralysis and failed gradually until death came.
He was highly respected by his neighbors who knew his true worth and kindness of heart and by the community in general as an honest upright citizen.
His funeral was held on Thursday forenoon from St. Augustine’s Church, Rev. J. E. Meagher celebrating Requiem Mass, with interment in St. Augustine’s Cemetery.
He is survived by a widow, six sons, William, George, John, Joseph, Frank and Edward and three daughters, Mrs. Wm. Ready of Watertown, Mrs. Robert Mortell of Stockbridge and Mrs. Wm. Colter of Superior. Also by a brother, James Tyson of Richwood and a sister, Mrs. Martha Ready of Portland, all of whom, except the brother, were in attendance of the funeral.
