Mrs. May Tyler Hoyt, 78, widow of William N. Hoyt and once a resident of Theresa, died at 7:30 Monday evening at the Henry Keep home, where she had been a guest since Aug. 31, 1934. Mrs. Hoyt, who had been in declining health for three or four months, had been confined to her bed for about a week.

She was born in Watertown, July 31, 1862, a daughter of Henry A. and Cordelia Weaver. Her parents died when she was a little girl and she was then adopted by the late Mr. and Mrs. L. W. Tyler of Theresa.

She took the name of Tyler and spent the early part of her life at Theresa, where in 1883 she was married to William N. Hoyt of New York.

After their marriage Mr. and Mrs. Hoyt resided in New York and Mount Vernon. Mr. Hoyt died about 20 years ago in New York, and later Mrs. Hoyt lived with her daughter, Mrs. Kent (Grace Hawkins) Mendell, in Syracuse.

She came to the Keep home more than six years ago from the home of her daughter in Syracuse. The daughter now lives at Pierrepont Manor.

Also surviving her, besides the daughter, Mrs. Mendell, are two grandsons, Glenn B. and Pershing A. Hawkins, Syracuse, and two cousins in Brooklyn.

Funeral services will be held at the Keep home Wednesday afternoon at 2:30. Rev. Dr. Harold H. Niles, pastor of the All Souls Universalist church, will officiate. The body will be placed in the city vault to await burial in the spring in the L. W. Tyler plot at Theresa.
