    __________________

    The funeral of the late H. D. Tye last Saturday afternoon was largely attended: Among these from a distance we noticed Mr. Isaac Master, Registrar, Berlin; Messrs; Hughes, Killer and Snyder, Waterloo; A. S. Smith, Port Sydney, Mus; E. S. Smith and Mrs. H. M. Johnson, Stratford; Mrs. Osborne and Mr. Puddicombe, London. As promised last week we will try to give a short sketch of the life of our late friend and neighbor. Born and educated in England he came to America with his parents at the age of fourteen and after living on Long Island, N.Y., two years. In the fall of 1839, the family left there for Canada. There was no railroad and the route mostly taken was by boat to Albany on the Hudson River and then by canal to Oswego, or in some cases families would get a large covered wagon and drive from Albany to Oswego. Such was the way taken in this case and the subject of this memory drove the team to Oswego and after crossing the lake by steamboat to Queenston drove to Hamilton, where the family stayed most of the winter. Fifty-two years ago this month he came to Wilmot and settled on the farm which was all bush, now owned by Mr. C. D. Brown. Being the oldest boy in the family and his father not used to work and being large for his age he had all the heavy work to do and helped to chop and log up most of the farm. Soon after coming of age he engaged as a clerk in his brother-in-laws store in Haysville, the late S. Sidney Smith. After being in the store for a few years and being a good deal interested in fruit, he started a nursery which he carried on for a good many years and a good many orchards to the north of this were planted from his nursery. But finding the soil too heavy to make tree growing profitable on account of the young trees being raised by the frost and the mice spoiling so many, he gave it up and purchased the farm upon which he resided up to the time of his death, from the late Dr. McGeorge of Ayr. In 1858 he was elected Councillor and two years later Deputy Reeve; he served the Township four years in that office and eight years as Reeve and then resigned in favor of the late Chr. Zoeger. Up to the time of Confederation he had been on the Conservative side in politics. At that time the Hon. Jas. Young came out in opposition to Mr. James Cowan and Mr. Tye canvassed this Township in favor of Mr. Young with good success, who was elected by a large majority. At the general election in 1875 Mr. Tye was nominated by the Reform convention and canvassed the Riding up to the time of nomination. Mr. Samuel Merner had been brought out against him, as that gentleman thought he ought to have received the nomination at the convention and said if Mr. J. Fleming of Galt had received the nomination he would not have come out, but as it was he did not consider Mr. Tye was on the Reform side long enough. As Mr. Tye was driving to the nomination he said to his friend John Hayse and the writer of this who was driving them, that if Mr. Merner would resign he would and let Mr. Fleming be elected rather than split the Reform vote and that was how Mr. Fleming was elected. In whatever position Mr. Tye was placed his executive ability was soon acknowledged. Whether as School Trustee or Warden of this county he devoted his time and talent for the public good. He has been a director of the Waterloo Fire Insurance Co. for a number of years, also secretary for the Nith Valley Creamery Co. His place will be hard to fill, for if he undertook to do anything it was done right. In the year 1858 Mr. Tye was married to Mary, eldest daughter of the late Wm. Puddicombe, who still survives him and seven children (3 boys and 4 girls) The eldest, William, is mail clerk on the train and resides at Goderich. The second daughter Francis is married to Mr. Henry Walker living near Haysville and the others, the youngest being only 12 years old, reside at home. The wife has lost a loving husband, the children a kind and affectionate father and the neighbors mourn the loss of a neighbor who was always willing to help them in any way in his power. Miss Marion Tye, who has been visiting relations in New Jersey near New York, was telegraphed for on Wednesday the 10th inst., but did not arrive home until after her father's death.

    Notes:

    Tye, Daniel. - Was born at Suffolk, England, on January 26th, 1793. He was one of a family of five, two sons and three daughters, viz: William, Daniel and Mrs. Dove, Mrs. Cavell and Lucy, unmarried. His wife, Anna Belle, was a daughter of Colonel Marlton, of the 60th Rifles. In 1837, he with a daughter, Mary, and Miss Rumball, an old friend of the family and sister of Mrs. Fenner, whose son, Henry, afterwards married a daughter of our subject, sailed for America, leaving the rest of the family in London, and who followed him in about a year, stopping at Newtown, Long Island. Daniel Tye had in the meantime gone on to Canada and taken up the farm now owned by Charles D. Brown, Nith Grove, and cleared five acres before returning to Long Island, where he worked the Fenner farm for a year and where they all had their share of fever and ague. In 1839 all started for Canada, father, mother and children. Robert C, Henry D., Frank and the four daughters, afterwards Mrs. [Mary] Fenner, Mrs. [Annie] John Sydney Smith, Mrs. [Minnie] (Dr.) O'Connor and Mrs. [Lucy] Harrison. A span of horses and a covered wagon were the means of transport, (the heavier goods going by canal boat up the Hudson to Troy.) The party then journeyed to Oswego, and went by boat to Queenston, driving to Hamilton, where part of the winter was spent. In February, 1840, they set out for Haysville with a load of goods, Henry driving with Annie, Lucy and Robert as passengers, arriving at their destination and putting up at Everatt's hotel, where they remained for a few days while the log house on Nith Grove was being got ready and into which they immediately moved. Henry D. Tye returned to Hamilton in the sleighs for another load of household goods and the rest of the family, but the snow all disappearing in February, they had to return in the covered wagon and a little way the other side of Ford's Tavern on their return the wagon slipped over the hill and upset. The family escaped injury, but the wagon was damaged beyond recovery. As Henry was the oldest the hardest work fell to him and he helped to chop and log a good part of the land. He was only 16 years old when he came, but looked 21. After he became of age he was clerking for John Sydney Smith for a few years. He wanted to start a nursery and bought five acres from his father (Daniel) on the Skelly farm where the orchard is now, but the land was too heavy, so he sold it back to his father and bought five acres back of Thomas Somerville's store and then he bought the Clayton farm and moved the nursery to it and sold 80 acres to R. C. Tye. Henry D. Tye and Mary both received good boarding school education, but the rest of us had to pick up the little education we got as best we could. There were not any schools when we came to the country and we had too much work to do at home if there had been. I have copied the foregoing almost word for word from an old memorandum prepared by Mr. R. C. Tye, of Stratford and kindly loaned by Mrs. Henry Tye Walker, as it gives the best account of the life of a pioneer that I have yet seen, as it was not written for publication. To return to our subject, Mr. Daniel Tye continued his farming operations, taking up 300 acres of land. He took an interest in public matters, being a strong Conservative. He was an enterprising man and was one of the first importers of Devon cattle, Southdown sheep and Essex hogs and won many prizes at the Provincial Shows of those days. He was a steady and consistent supporter of St. James Church. He died on October 23rd, 1874 in his 82nd year. Mr. R. C. Tye, of Stratford, is the only surviving member of the family. Mr. Wm. F. Tye, the eminent Civil Engineer, is a grandson.
