!Obit: Tyrone Daily Herald, Tyrone, Pa., July 29, 1893
A Pioneer Resident Gone.
One of the pioneer residents passed away at 2.10 o'clock this
morning, when George W. Dry died at his home near the water station
just east of Tyrone. Mr. Dry had been in feeble health, owing to his
advanced age, for about a year, and some months ago had a severe
illness from which he partially recovered, but the relapse which came
two weeks ago found him too weak to withstand sickness and he passed
peacefully it way at the above mentioned hour.
George W, Dry, son of George and Nancy Dry, was born near Tyrone in
January 1811, and was therefore in his eighty-third year. Like his
father before him, he was a forgeman, and he plied his trade in
Maryland, Kentucky and this state, most of the time, however, being
engaged in this immediate vicinity, at Cold Spring, Barree and Tyrone
forges. Not until three years ago, when he had reached the four score
mark in life, did he relinquish work.
On January 15, 1841, he was united in marriage to Miss Sarah Gardner,
who died six years ago. To them were born twelve children, of whom
Andrew and Hannah have passed away. The surviving children are
Alexander, of Bellwood; William, of McKeesport; George, John T., Amos,
Robert Lincoln, Armstrong, Mrs. Ellen Kaup, Mrs. Nancy Fetters, Mrs.
Alice Richardson, all of Tyrone. Two sisters also survive, Mrs.
Margaret Crane, of Philipsburg, and Mrs. Caroline Thomas, of
Williamsport.
The deceased was a man of many noble qualities, thoroughly esteemed
for his honesty, sobriety and industry. He was a member of the
Methodist church and passed away in full hope of peace and joy beyond
the grave. In politics, Mr. Dry had been staunch adherent to the
Republican party since its beginning, and he was a member of that party
because he was a believer in its principles. In the home, he was a
good husband and father, and his loss is keenly felt. The community
loses one of its best known and oldest citizens.
Funeral services will be conducted by Rev. John D. Stewart, at the
late home of the deceased at 3 o'clock tomorrow afternoon. Interment
in Tyrone cemetery.
