Lyle died at his home in this city Sunday, August 9th, 1914, after an illness covering several years. He was 66 years old and was born in Perry county, Ohio. He leaves a wife, two daughters and one son to! mourn his departure. He came to Bates county in 1868. He began the study of medicine in 1871 with Dr. A. Rhoades of Papinsville, graduated in| 1873 and began the active practice of his profession at Metz, Vernon coun- ty, and remained there until 1881, when he located at Sprague, where he continued to practice until he came to Butler, about 1895.

He was at times | brusque i in manner, but always sin- ‘cere, sympathetic and helpful. It | never seemed a question of dollars, , but duty and an innate desire to do some sufferer good was the main- ‘spring of his conduct in life.
