EDWIN TYLER

EDWIN TYLER was born in Richfield, Illinois, November 27, 1842. He remained in
his native state until he was eighteen years of age when he joined the Fiftieth
regiment Illinois volunteers. He became a member of Co. C and served his country
three years. He took part in the battles of Fort Henry, Fort Donaldson, Shiloh
and Corinth and numerous other engagements. Ho lost the sight of one eye during
his soldier service. This was due to exposure and fever. He came to Barton
County October 16, 1871. He was married to Miss Lydia F. Moseley December 31,
1865, at his home town of Richfield, Ills. Mr. and Mrs. Tyler have had five
children but unfortunately only one of them is living, the others having passed
away. The one living child now is Mrs. Sam J. Pratt, her maiden name having been
Dora May. Mr. Tyler tells in his own way a number of his experiences in articles
in this book, so we will only add that he always has been an enterprising and
progressive citizen and has done a great deal in developing the county's
resources.
