At the age of 19 he came to what was then the Territory of Washington, and has been a resident of Skamania County, at Willard and Underwood, for more than fifty years. He was engaged in farming and was at times employed on the boats engaged in river transportation. He did much work in clearing trails and building roads through the primeval forests. He was married December 24th , 1900, to Lovisa Jenny Underwood. To this union were born four boys, Jerry, Robert, Edward and William, and one girl, Ellen, now Mrs. McAllister, all of whom with the mother and two grandchildren survive him. Mr. Tyrell was known to the pioneers and to all his friends through the years as an honest, reliable man and good citizen who never failed to vote at all elections. He was a member of the Red Cross and did service for that organization. He is said to have dug the first grave in the Underwood Cemetery, and also the last one preceding that into which his own mortal remains were deposited. He had been ill only a few days, when he was removed to Hood River hospital, where he underwent a major operation and died in the early morning Tuesday, June 20th, aged 73 years and 4 months. Funeral services were held, conducted by Rev. H.V. Rominger, in the gymnasium of the Underwood school and internment was in the local cemetery. There was a large audience and lavish floral tribute, testifying to the esteem in which Mr. Tyrell was held. He always showed a kindly, friendly, neighborly spirit and his memory will long survive in the minds of those who knew him best. He loved life and lived it cheerfully, bravely and faithfully, and bravely went out of it into that bourne from which no traveler ever returns. In humble and obscure ways, according to his opportunities he never failed to do his bit for community welfare and was a courageous foe to all corruption and dishonesty, private or public. His ideal was to serve his country, rather than have his country merely serve him. If this nation were composed of all citizens like Tyrell we might not have the depression and despair in which we are now weltering.
