Charles Volney Dyer
M, #74578, b. 22 December 1890
Charles Volney Dyer , Dr.1,2,3
M, #74553, b. 12 June 1808, d. 24 April 1878
| Note* | Dyer, Charles Volney, abolitionist, was born June 12, 1808 Clarendon,VT. He removed in 1835 to Chicago, and soon became acting surgeon in Fort Dearborn. He was successful in his practice and business adventures,retiring from the former in 1854, and becoming agent for the underground railroad in Chicago. He died April 24, 1878 in Lake View IL. REF: Encyclopedia of America Biographies p 324. ========================================= For the first fifteen years of the life of Mr. Dyer he lived on his father's's farm in summer and attended the district school in winter. At this age he went to the Castleton (Vermont) Academy, where he fitted himself for a higher course of study. He entered college at Middlebury,from which he graduated with honors in the middle course in 1836. He began the practice of medicine at Newark, New Jersey, where he achieved enough local success to make him ambitious for a broader field in which to try his talents and exercise his industry. Like other aspiring young men of his time he cast longing eyes toward the new West, and finally resolved to take the trip and trust his fortune with the destinies of Chicago, where he arrived in August, 1835. He married Miss Louisa M.Gifford, of Elgin, in 1837. The couple were blessed with six children,three of whom survive. Dr. Dyer upon his arrival was appointed surgeon of old Fort Dearborn, at Chicago, and from that time his practice grew to such an extent that he had money to invest. With the infinite faith in the future that has characterized Chicago, he purchased a large amount of real estate, then outside of the corporation. Among other spots once his property is the lot now occupied by the First National Bank building,which he sold to the government--the old post-office--for $46,000. In1854 he had acquired a competence and retired from the practice of his profession and determined to pass the remainder of his life in the care of his considerable property. Dr. Dyer was a Democrat when he first came to Chicago, and was elected by the Legislature to the office of Judge of the Probate Court of Cook county in 1837. He soon became a leading Abolitionist of the first water, and to say that he was not very radical on all questions relating to human slavery would be putting a low estimate upon the idea of his right of the poor bondsmen in Chicago. Dr.Dyer supported Mr. Birney for President in 1844, when there were but few Liberty party men in Illinois. But they had an underground railroad, and many of the passengers called upon Dr. Dyer and the late James H.Collins, who were understood to be the proprietors, passing through those that were fleeing from their task-masters in the South to the land of freedom in Canada. While these men stopped with the doctor he tried to make them useful by setting them to work, but he said they were more fond of preaching than cutting and splitting wood. The doctor used to carry a large ebony gold-headed cane (now in the collection of the Chicago Historical Society), which was presented to him by his admirers, as it was said, for enlightening the slave-catcher after the manner in which Minerva was freed from the skull of Jupiter. The doctor was very proud of this token, which he regarded as Jacob's staff for freedom. About the time he received this present--1846--a runaway slave was arrested and taken before the late Justice Kersheval, a native of Kentucky, who had issued a warrant for his arrest under the old fugitive slave law. J. H.Collins appeared for the defense, and moved to quash the writ, which was done. While new papers were being prepared for the re-arrest of the slave, Dr. Dyer was left alone with the handcuffed slave for a moment. He struck off the irons and bade the man jump for dear life. In a moment the others returned, and on inquiry for the slave the doctor said, 'He has sunk into the bosom of the community.' This was the kind of timber that such men as Dr. Dyer and J. H. Collins were made of in the anti-slavery agitation in the Northwest from 1840 to 1856. At an anti-slavery convention held in Chicago, it was resolved to start an anti-slavery paper in Washington, D. C. Dr. Dyer was made chairman of the committee,and selected Dr. Baily, a noted abolitionist and writer, as editor, with John G. Whittier and Mr. Phelps as assistants. This was the beginning of the 'National Era.' one of the most noted anti-slavery papers ever published in the United States. In 1863 President Lincoln appointed him judge of a 'mixed court' for the suppression of the African slave trade,an international tribunal, holding its sessions in Sierra Leone, Africa.In consequence of this very appropriate honor he spent two years abroad.When not in Africa, he traveled quietly with his family in Switzerland,Germany and Italy. He chanced to be in Rome when the sad news of the death of Lincoln fell on the world, and he was chosen to make an address in memory of his dear friend. In religious belief the doctor was a follower of Swedenborg, having embraced the tenets of the Scandinavian views of this philosopher in 1854. Soon after this, he and his wife, in connection with the Hon. J. W. Scammon and Mr. and Mrs. J. E. Wheeler,founded the New Jerusalem Society of Chicago. The great fire in 1871 and the panic greatly straightened Dr. Dyer's circumstances, and his early pecuniary means were nearly exhausted at the time of his death. He was avery peculiar man in the fullest sense of that expression. No one who has ever known him well could ever forget him. He loved a joke so well, that if he had had the chance, like Hood, he would have made his pun even to his last breath. It is impossible to do his varied character justice ina brief notice like this. But he will always be remembered in the Northwest as one of those vigorous men who braved the perils of the old patriarchs to build an empire upon a wilderness, and who held the most profound political convictions, not for personal glory, but that he might fulfill the promise of American freedom and raise a fallen race to the plane of humanity.
