General Notes: Husband - Dr. William Charles Tyler

---

In his youth he enjoyed unusual educational advantages for the times, attending Hiram College at his birthplace, during the presidency of James A. Garfield at that institution. During his young manhood he taught school in Ohio five years, meanwhile reading medicine under Dr. John French for three years, and entering the medical department of the University of Michigan, at Ann Arbor, in 1862, graduating in 1863 with the degree of M. D. After a year’s practice at Munson, Ohio, Dr. Tyler severed early associations for better promise in his chosen work, leaving his parents’ home at Hiram, Ohio, on horseback, he journeyed to Venango County, PA, arriving at Rouseville July 14, 1864, and began an active practice in and around the borough. During the first ten years of his residence there he visited his patients on horseback, riding much of the time through dense woods, and when roads improved took to driving. In 1869 he became a partner in a drug business at Rouseville, acquiring sole ownership of the store in 1876—the only drug store in the borough and one of the most popular in that section of Venango County. He also had some oil interests, and altogether prospered very satisfactorily in the management of his material affairs. During the early days there local conditions made his work very arduous; nevertheless he prized the experience, and enjoyed recalling the many interesting features which marked the oil development in the region as well as the beginnings of its industrial progress in other lines. With all the responsibilities of his personal interests, he was public-spirited about giving his time and thought to assisting in the general advancement, and was called upon to serve the borough in many important positions, councilman, burgess, and member of the school board, in all of which he performed his duties most efficiently. He served two terms as commissioner of Cornplanter Township. Like his father, he was a stanch Republican in political belief. He was one of the first thirty-second degree Masons in that section. He was made a Mason at Garrettsville, Ohio, and assisted in the organization of Fraternal Lodge, No. 483, F. & A. M., at Rouseville, in 1870. He belonged to Caldwell Consistory at Bloomsburg.
