 Nov. 28, 1906
 After an illness of about four months Mrs. Watson Tyson, sr., died at 11:30 o'clock last night from cancer of the colon. She was past 73 years of age and held on to life with a tenacity that was nothing short of marvelous. She was the last but one of that "remarkable group of pioneers," the Anderson family, of which we have written before. A full account of her life and a cut of the group will be given next week. The funeral will be held at one o'clock Saturday afternoon at the Tyson home, about three miles north of Blair.
  Obituary
 Eliza Tyson
 Blair Courier
 December 5, 1906
 Mrs. Watson Tyson, Sr., At Rest.
 One more of that remarkable group of Washington County pioneers has passed over to the other side and loved ones left to mourn.
 After an illness of about four months from cancer of the colon, Mrs. Watson Tyson, Sr., passed quietly out into the great beyond at 11:30 Tuesday night, Nov. 27th. The end was inevitable from the nature of the disease but the grim monster was put off many days on account of the great vitality of his victim. The funeral was held at the home on the farm at one o'clock Saturday afternoon, Rev. G. L. Conley, pastor of the Baptist church of this city, officiating. The funeral procession was the largest ever seen in that neighborhood, and bore eloquent testimony of the love and esteem in which Mrs. Tyson was held.
 Mrs. Tyson was a member of that notable group of pioneers, the Anderson family, of whom we have written so often in these columns. She was the youngest of the seven children, six of whom were pioneers in ths county. But two of the family are now living, Mr. Andrew Anderson of this city, anged 81, and Mrs. Geo. Tyson, of Schulesburg [Shullsburg], Wis., aged 78 years.
 Mrs. Tyson was 73 years of age on the 22nd day of last August, the ages of the other members of this family at the time of their death being 76, 84, 87 and 89 years. This is a truly remarkable record of longevity and was no doubt the result of right living not only on their part but on the part of their ancestors.
 Miss Eliza Anderson was born in Christiana, Norway, Aug. 22, 1833 and came with her family to Mineral Point, Wis., in 1855, being pioneer in that that section. On Jan. 22nd, 1858 she was married to Watson Tyson and four years later, with the aid of a yoke of cows and a yoke of oxen, they made their way west to Omaha.
 On June 26th, 1865, they settled on a farm three miles north of this city, which was four years earlier than Blair was, by the way. So, for over forty years Mr. and Mrs. Tyson lived together on that farm, during which time they did their part in the development of the new country and lived to see it the garden spot of the world.
 Besides the husband there are six children, many grand children and even great grand children left to mourn the loss of the kindest and most loving wife and mother earth's teeming millions will ever know.
 The six children are: Mrs. C.B. Hain, Mrs. L.D. Warrick, Mrs. W.F. Burdick, of South Omaha, George, Peter and Watson Tyson, Jr. The great grandchildren are two duaghters of Mr. and Mrs. Edwin S. Halier.
