WALTER WRIGHT TYRRILL, 11 Aug 1854 - 26 Dec 1916

   Walter Wright Tyrrill, the seventh child of a family of 
nine children, born to David C. and Amy Ann Tyrrill, was born 
at Camden, Mich., Aug. 11, 1854.  He died at his home near 
Camden, Dec. 26th, 1916, aged 62 years, 4 months and 15 days.  
He was married to Emma Stallman at her home near Metz on Dec. 
25, 1887.  This union was blessed with one son, Louie E., who 
is still in the home with his mother.  He became a member of 
the Christian church at Metz, Ind., in 1885.  After 
establishing his home at South Camden, he transferred his 
church home to the Liberal U. B. church of that place and 
remained faithful until his death.
   He was also an honored member of the I. O. O. F. 312 at 
Camden.
   He was a loving husband and father.  He often spoke of his 
mother whom he had lost years ago and of his aged father who 
shared his home many years.  These were sacred memories to 
him.
   He lived all his married life, except a short time, at 
Metz, Ind., on the farm where he died.  He leaves to mourn 
their loss his wife and one son. 
   He also leaves three sisters, Charlotte Tyrill of Fort 
Wayne, Mrs. Hannah Hettler, and Mrs. Anna Haughey of Camden, 
Mich., and four brothers, George and David Tyrrill of Camden, 
Albert of Kendallville, Ind., and also William Riley of 
Reading, Mich.
   There are also nieces and nephews and other relatives and 
many friends.
   He often spoke, during his long sickness, of his 
willingness to go.  He was only waiting the Master's call 
which came as one falling asleep.
   Funeral was held at Camden, Dec. 29, 1916, Rev. Moger 
officiating.
