Miles Morgan Tullar quietly passed away Friday evening, at the home of his
daughter, Mrs. Laura Taggart, aged 92 years.

Mr. Tullar was one of the pioneer settlers of Evansville, coming here in
1844, with a young wife, and after a brief stop, purchased a farm a few
miles southwest of the city, and followed the avocation of farming till old
age necessitated a rest from his labors. He was a man widely known and
respected by a large circle of friends. Although quiet and unassuming in
disposition, there was a vein of humor which would crop out in his
conversation with personal friends which made him a pleasant companion.
Nothwithstanding his age, his mental faculties were keen and his activity
as light as many men of half his age. His jaunts to the business portions
of the city, where he enjoyed the meetings with old-time friends, were of
daily occurrence and his absence will be missed by the many. His final
sickness was short, and he was ready for the summons to come and meet his
life-companion who had preceded him only a few short years ago.

M. M. Tullar was born in Cayuga county, N. Y., May 28, 1816. In January
1842, he was united in marriage to Miss Lusbe Ann Gallop, who was a
faithful and loving companion for fifty-eight years, when she was called to
her home beyond. To this union thirteen children were born, ten of whom are
living and are: John M., Walter D., Fred, Earl, and Mrs. Laura Taggart all
of this city, Mrs. Emma Layton and Elmer of Eugene, Ore., Frank M., of
Beach, N. Dak., Mrs. Carrie Grove of Le Mars, Ia., Miles of Lennox, S. Dak.

Funeral services were held Sunday afternoon at his late home and was
largely attended. The Rev. D. Q. Grabill officiating.
