The Enterprise, July 12, 1907
Mr. W. A. Dyer
  That which was mortal of Allen Dyer is no more, though he still lives. He
was born Dec. 6, 1839; married Miss Overton Terrell, Dec. 6, 1868; became
a member of the Primitive church June 19, 1898, and died June 28, 1907. He was
a private in the civil war and clung to the principles of government 
established until his death. He was born just one hundred years after William
Herschel who, by the aid of sister, still lives as the most learned philosopher.
Shakespeare, Tennyson and Emerson found their work and pursued it. Dyer was
greater than they,as he was strong where they were weak- a type of sturdy
manhood unsurpassed. The entire atmosphere of the man was one of gentleness,
repose and kindly good will. His religion was of the heart, self sacrificing 
and willing that others should have the glory, never contending for first 
place. He was an honest man who loved his friends; a neighbor true, loyal
generous and kind. He leaves a devoted wife, daughter and son. To emulate
his life is the highest type of citizenry.
