The Lowell Ledger, Thursday, October 28, 1915


Myron Kyser, son of Lorenzo and Samantha Kyser, was born in Hartland, Niagara 
county, N.Y., May 13, 1850, and died at his home in South Boston October 19, 
1915, being 65 years, five months and six days of age.  While still a small 
boy, he, with his parents moved from the state of New York to Saginaw, Mich., 
and when he was about 15 years of age, again moved to their home in the 
township of Berlin, where he lived till his marriage with Miss Alice E. Ware 
of South Boston in 1876, and where he has since resided.  He was highly 
respected in the community in which he lived, as well as all other places 
where he was well known, holding many positions of trust, the duties of which 
he faithfully performed.  He has been on of the directors of the Ionia Mutual 
Insurance Co. for many years, thus making a circle of friends and 
acquaintances where he will be missed.

Although not affiliating with any particular church, he was a man of strong 
Christian principals, exemplifying the spirit of Christ in his brotherhood of 
man as no one went to him for counsel or advise, but received his kind 
attention, cheery words and help.  He enjoyed the social life in his community 
and did all he could to help in it.  The young people as well as old will miss 
Uncle Myron as he was familiarly called by all.

He loved the Sabbath school, of which he was a devoted attendant with little 
Blanche, who for five years has been a source of comfort to him and his wife.  
His friends were hoping for him a long life of ease to enjoy the result of his 
years of hard work, but he was taken when he was performing his duty as he saw 
it, losing his life in an endeavor to save others, truly it may be said of 
him: “What greater love hath a man than he who layeth down his life for his 
friends.”

He leaves to mourn their loss his heart-broken wife, and sister, Mrs. S. A. 
Ware, two brothers, Charles F. Kyser of South Boston and Albert Kyser of 
Buffalo, N.Y., eleven nephews, three nieces and a host of other relatives and 
friends, whose hearts go out in sympathy to the sorrowing family in their 
great affliction.

The funeral was held at the residence Friday, Oct. 22, at 10 a.m., and was 
largely attended.  The services were conducted by Rev. Chamberlain, assisted 
by Rev. Lash of Lowell, singing by Harley Maynard and sister, Anna Maynard of 
Lowell.  Pallbearers were the six sons of his brother, Charles F. Kyser.  The 
procession from the residence to the cemetery at Saranac where he was laid to 
rest, consisted of twenty-five automobiles.  Friends and relatives were 
present form Grand Rapids, Lowell, Belding, Greenville, Saginaw, Mt. Pleasant, 
Ionia, Lake Odessa, Clarksville and Saranac.
