Decatur Review 2/7/1922 Rev. Dr. B. B. Tyler, brother of Mrs. J. A. Meriweather and Mrs. S. Odor of Decatur and a former resident of Macon county, died Monday at the residence of his daughter, Mrs. George Macon in Tampa, Florida. He was eighty one years old last April. His death was due to infirmities incident to old age. B. B. Tyler was a son of Rev. and Mrs. John W. Tyler. He was born in Long Creek township five miles east of Decatur, April 9, 1840. His father was one of the early ministers of the Christian church in Illinois and he successfully established churches of that denomination in many sparsely settled districts. B. B. Tyler grew to a young manhood on the farm by desiring to follow in the steps of his father he attended Eureka college and on his graduating from that institution he at once embarked on his work as a minister. He held pastorates in Charleston, Terre Haute, Ind, Frankfort, Louisville, Ky, New York city and Denver Color. His last pastorate was in Denver where he was pastor of the South Broadway Christian church. He became know nationally as a minister and a polished orator. He visited his relatives in Decatur occasionally and on those occasions occupied the pulpit at the local Christian church. It was always a delight to listen to his sermons which were always eloquent and scholarly. Mrs. Tyler died seven years ago. Three years ago Mr. Tyler went to Tampa to spend his last days with his daughter and his grandsons. The body will be brought to Denver and Buried in Crown Hill cemetery.
