THAYER, Tyler D.
Appleton City Journal,
"St. Clair County's Best Newspaper",
Appleton City, Mo.,
Thursday, 11 July 1918. Submitted by: Sheila Greenleaf
Tyler D. Thayer - In the death June 23, 1918, of the above named
citizen, Appleton City lost another one of her pioneer and most highly
esteemed citizens. Mr. Thayer was born at Lockland, now in part of
Cincinnati, Ohio, September 26, 1833. In 1857 he was united in
marriage with Miss Adeline Moss and to them were born two daughters,
now living, Mrs. Kaufman, at Waynesville; living - Mrs. Kaufman, of
Waynesville, Ohio and Gert Adler of San Francisco, Calif.
Mr. Thayer came to Missouri 49 years ago and lived in this immediate
community, especially in Appleton City, up to the time of his death.
October 2, 1891, the deceased was married to Mrs. Clark, who with the
daughters named and other relatives survive and mourn the loss of one
whom they held dear, notwithstanding the fact that he had far outlived
the time allowed to man in this life.
Mr. Thayer was patriotic to the core from boyhood until the final
moment came to him, having served with distinction in the Civil War,
as a member of Co. I 27th Ohio Infantry, and up to the last hours
preceding his death took the deepest interest in the terrible world
war now in progress, cheerfully contributed of his money in the calls
that have come from the Government, for funds with which to maintain
the conflict.
Mr. Thayer was a loyal good citizen in all that the word implies and
as such will long live in the memory of a large list of friends. He
was what is termed a "well read man", beign a great lover of good
books, and an untiring reader of the better class of magazines and
daily papers. We mention the fact with no little degree of pride that
his name was continually on The Journal list from the birth of this
paper until he was cut down by Father Time and carried to the Silent
City of the Dead. What solemn meaning is carried in these words as
they pass through the soul when a living friend has passed away; all
is now irrevocably past, the changeable picture has suddenly become
altered and unchangeable; but dipped from the moment into the ether of
unknown, it shines trans-etheral to endure forever.
Mr. Thayer was a member of Gen. Steadman's west G.A.R. of Appleton
City, under the purpose of which order the funeral rite was held at
the family home in the southwest part of the city and were conducted
by Rev. __ at the Methodist Church, on the lawn in the presence of a
large assembly of people. As a mark of respect to the deceased and his
family all of the business licenses in the city were closed in
recommendation of the Mayor during the funeral hour.
T.D. Thayer, who was one of us, has put on the garment of eternity.
The town and community in which he lived so long is better in many
ways for him having lived in it. -- C.C.H.

his cheerful disposition, that few of his friends knew of his ill

of his sickness. His life was characterized by his ever cheerful disposition
being a devoted husband and father and a good neighbor. He will be
sadly missed by his family, relatives and his many friends which he
could number by the scores. Although his life has been one of high
moral principals, he just recently confessed his faith in Christ. -
Curt has passed but not forgotten,
Loving memories shall be cherished. -
For we shall miss him from our midst, -
But we love the thought -His soul shall never perish.

Rainy Dew Drops -
The largest crowd ever assembled at Old Union was there last Sunday
to pay the last tribute of respect on earth to Mrs. Ida Thompson.
THOMPSON, Ida B. Farrar
St. Clair County Republican, 2 December 1897
Died, On Saturday morning, November 27th, at her home near Cobb City,
Mrs. Ida, wife of William Thompson, and eldest daughter of William
Farrar, aged twenty-eight years and eleven weeks. Deceased was married
to Mr. Thompson on her twenty-eighth birthday and therefore was a
bride of only eleven weeks, the last four of which she was confined
to her bed and suffered all that a mortal could, yet bearing up with
all the Christian fortitude of a true follower of the meek and lowly
and was conscious until death struck her which was about fifteen hours
before she passed over the dark river into the unknown, and even during
the last days of her suffering she would at times burst forth in strains
of almost angelic sweetness and sing through one of the sweet songs
of Zion, after which she would lie still and suffer on and on until
the death angel came. All that remained of the once loveable and beautiful
Ida was laid to rest in the cemetery at Old Union on last Sunday amid
a vast concourse of friends and relatives. Let us all so live that
our end may be like hers and we be wafted into the presence of the
King of Kings and Lord of Lords with the praises of Him who died for
us upon our lips.
