W.J. Dyer At Rest

W.J. Dyer, the gunsmith, died last Friday at the poor house, after an illness of a few days duration, aged 70 years. The funeral was held Monday from the undertaking rooms of Chaney & Mackay. Mr. Dyer was one of the odd characters of Worthington. He was a single man and lead a very retired life. While he was a first class workman, and seemed to have plenty of work, he was so modest in his charges that he led a hand to mouth existence. The same characteristic prevailed in all his relations and he probably did not have an enemy on earth.
