Samuel Dyer who was born August 14, 1846, and was the son of James and Rachel DYER, died May 17, 1926, three days after the death of his wife—died on the day of his wife's funeral, and was buried the next day. Arrangements for the wife's funeral had progressed so far at the time of the husband's death, that it was scarcely possible to bury both at the same time.
He was seventy-nine years, eight months and twenty-seven days old.
They reared a grand-nephew, Charles TROTTER, of Linton. They leave forty-seven grandchildren, and a number of great-grandchildren and other relatives and hosts of friends.
Uncle Sam, as he was familiarly called, left two brothers, Charles F. of Worthington, and Nathan, of Detroit, Michigan, and one sister, Mrs. Laura CHARMICHAEL, of Solsberry.
He was a minister of the Christian church for fifty years. His own failing health, as well as the blindness of his wife, and her helplessness in her last years, obliged him to give up regular work in the ministry. He was also an Odd Fellow and a Mason. The Masonic order gave their beautiful burial ritual at his grave.
He was a sweet-spirited elderly man, and his life and teachings will be a beautiful memory to all.
The aged wife and mother was a fine example of patience in her blindness and helplessness. She endeared herself to all who knew her life. She united with the church early in life, and honored her confession as long as she lived.
The aged husband and wife craved to be buried at the same time. Practically their prayer was answered.
Funeral services were held in the Worthington Christian Church for both of them—for the wife May 17, 1926 at two p.m. on Monday; for the husband at two p. m. on Tuesday. Elder T. A. COX, of Bloomfield, officiated at both services. Interment was in the beautiful Worthington Cemetery.
