In 1809 he graduated and spent a year teaching in West Brattleboro, VT. From 1810 to 1813, he studied law in the offices of Judge Daniel Dewey, Williamstown, MA. During that time, he also tutored at Williams College. He was formally admitted to the bar on 14 February 1814 in Lenox at a session of the Berkshire court. He then settled in Chesterfield. When his mentor, Judge Dewey, became a Congressman in 1814, Dyar was instrumental in getting a post office for Chesterfield. He served as its second postmaster, after the business skills of the first appointee were found wanting. On 25 May 1815, He married Sally Hayes in Brattleboro, Vermont. They had four children, Helen, Talcott, William and Edward. Beside serving as the postmaster for 25 years, Dyar was elected justice of the peace in 1814, and held that office until he died. He was elected to the legislature for the first time in 1825, and served for twelve years. He served as justice of the quorum, notary public and county commissioner. In 1834, he lost his eyesight and eventually withdrew from his business, social and political activities. "Gazetteer of Hampshire County, Mass 1654-1887" pp 213-215
