I have now pretty much filled in the family of my ancestor, Jeremiah Dyer, son of Oliver and Patience (Sweet) Dyer but I still lack the hard evidence I would like to have. I am also still looking for the whereabouts of Arthur Dyer (suspected brother of Jeremiah, Celinda, and Nehemiah Dyer) after he left New Berlin. There is still a possibility of finding an obituary. I also have made progress with the parents of Jeremiah Dyer's wife, Mary Smith. I am looking for the family of James Smith (her father) a British prisoner from the battle of Cowpens who remained in the US after the war,became a citizen, and moved to New Berlin. I have connected one of his daughters to Frederick Vail, son of Job Vail, one of the earliest settlers in New Berlin.

Note*He was educated at the public schools and was principal of a school in Lockport, N.Y., 1841-44. He subsequently took a course at the Genesee Wesleyan seminary at Lima, N.Y. He became interested in orthographic reform and studied Isaac Pitman's phonographic shorthand system, becoming an expert in the use of shorthand, and in 1848 accepted the position of reporter in the senate at Washington. He was admitted to the bar in 1854 and practised in New York City. The success of his sketch of 'The Wickedest Man in New York'(1868), led to his employment on the staffs of the New York Sun and other papers. In 1871 he agreed to write exclusively for the New York Ledger.He was ordained a minister in the Swedenborgian church in 1876 and became pastor of the New Church society at Mount Vernon, N.Y., where he ministered without pay. He is the author of: Great Senators of the United States Forty Years Ago (1889); Life of Andrew Jackson (1892). In 1899 he was a resident of Warren, R.I. I also have the original editions of his books The Great Senators (all of whom he knew personally) and General Andrew Jackson. In fact, I also just found out that he received the 'Sublime Degree of a Master Mason.' I found the paper inside one of these books where my mother had put it. According to a newspaper clipping about my grandfather Oliver, he passed the bar but never practiced law. He did, however, become the editor of the New York Ledger in 1871. A post he held for 20 years. (Sincerely, Jean Walsh Quinnett, 8/29/00) (from The NY Sun, Nov. 23, 1867) Our friend Oliver Dyer, the popular lecturer, who undertakes to tell people how to escape hell, has, we learn, fetched up in Sing Sing prison.He was captured last Sunday morning by the prison chaplain, and take into the chapel, where he first preached to the 1,800 male convicts, and prayed with them, in his original fashion, until he brought tears to their eyes. Then the chaplain made him go to the chapel for female convicts, and talk to them, which he did with even more power than he had talked to the males. The upshot of the morning's work was that the chaplain intends to have Mr. Dyer come again, and, in the meanwhile, has procured several hundred printed copies of a report of his remarks for distribution among the inmates of the prison. Yet the Methodist Christian Advocate sneers at Mr. Dyer as a lecturer whose name ought not to be mentioned even in its advertising columns.
For Village President, OLIVER DYER: Dear Sir:--The undersigned, your friends and neighbors, ask you to permit them to take such action as may be necessary to nominate you for the Village Presidency. Mount Vernon is year by year growing so rapidly,that it needs for its chief magistrate, a man full of energy, with wisdom and foresight to provide for its wants, with prudence and caution. To keep within its means, and with parliamentary skill and firmness necessary to give dignity and directness to the proceedings of the Board of Trustees. In looking for such a man, they naturally turn to you, and hope that you will give them the pleasure of placing you before your fellow citizens, as a candidate for the village presidency at the ensuing village election. (It lists 64 names and says 'and many others') Mount Vernon, May 17th, 1884. Col. Alfred Cooley, Hon. Isaac N. Mills, George R. Crawford, Esq. and others. Gentlemen-I have read your invitation to me, to be a candidate for the Village Presidency, with sentiments of profound thankfulness for the kindness and appreciation which inspired it. I heartily sympathise with your desires in respect to the government and interests of our beautiful village, and accept your invitation. Should I be elected President of the village, I will do my best to realize your expectations;and whether you succeed in the canvass or not, I shall never forget the neighbourly kindness which prompted you to such an expression of friendship and confidence. Very truly yours, OLIVER DYER (from New-Church Messenger Oct. 24, 1900). The Rev. Oliver Dyer. Oliver Dyer was born in the town of Porter, County of Niagara, and State of New York, on the 26th day of April, 1824. That region was then a dense wilderness. The Erie Canal had not yet been completed. The settlers had to chop their farms out of the wilderness. Oliver's parents were poor and so were all their neighbors. Life was then and there literally a struggle for existence and only the fittest survived. When Oliver was six years old his father sold his farm and moved to Lockport on the Erie Canal, which had become the great avenue of communication between Albany and the Lakes. Oliver was sent to school,and from the start made rapid progress in his studies. Parents then had to supply books for their children, and it was difficult for Oliver's parents to supply the books which his rapid progress rendered necessary,When he was eight years old he began to earn money with which to buy his own books and continued to do so as long as he remained at school. He was liberally helped in his endeavors by some of his teachers and a number of friends who admired the boy's pluck and ability. Oliver was a boy who always minded his own business. He never interfered with others, but if others interfered with him and forced him into a fight he fought with such desperation as to strike terror to the hearts of the aggressors. This trait of character had an important effect upon his career. When he was seventeen years old the trustees of one of the village schools were looking for a teacher. The school was utterly run down. The district in which it was situated was infested by a horde of young ruffians from sixteen to twenty-two years of age whose only object in going to school was to have a row. They repeatedly broke up the school and drove the teachers from the door. The trustees were in despair. At last one of them suggested that Oliver Dyer should engagedly to take charge of the school, because his well-known fighting powers would doubtless enable him to reduce the ruffians to order. It was a dangerous experiment to put a boy of seventeen into such a situation, but the experiment was tried and proved to be successful. Mr. Dyer provided himself with an iron-wood poker about five feet long and two inches in diameter. The first day's session of the school passed without any demonstration. On the morning of the second day the hitherto triumphant ruffians broke out into open rebellion. One of them was a burly fellow over six feet in height and every one of them was larger and more muscular than their teacher. The moment they showed fight Mr. Dyer felled the leader with his poker and attacked the others with such intrepidity that they were soon lying helpless on the floor. The battle was short and the result conclusive.As soon as order was restored the studies of the school went on and were never again interrupted by the least exhibition of disobedience. All the defeated ruffians became Mr. Dyer's warm friends and admirers and boasted of the superior order and discipline maintained in his school. The facts about his battle with the disturbers of the school spread through the village and gave intense satisfaction to everybody. He continued as head of the school until the sixth day of June, 1844, when he ended his career as a schoolteacher with a grand exhibition and festival. His salary had been raised to five hundred dollars a year, the largest then paid in the county, and he had saved money enough to pay his way through college. His mother's dearest wish was that Oliver should become a Methodist minister, of which Church he was a member. He yielded to her wishes and went to the Genesee Wesleyan Seminary in Lima, N.Y., but in a few months his mother suddenly died. This broke him up. His scientific pursuits had caused him to become dissatisfied with the Methodist theology. He accepted the teachings of geology, which were then considered atheistic.He also rejected the doctrine of the resurrection of the material body,and that of salvation by faith alone. In short, he was entirely broken up as to theology. He became a journalist and reporter. In the latter capacity he officiated in the United States Senate in the years 1848-49.He also studied law and was admitted to the New York Bar, where he practised for a quarter of a century. In 1865 he became interested in mission work in the slums of New York. He spent several years in investigating the causes and the remedies of the deplorable state of things which he found there. In 1868 he wrote his famous article on 'The Wickedest Man in New York', which caused a prodigious sensation and led to the extinction of seventy-two brothels and dance houses in the vilest portion of the city. Just at this time he became acquainted with the writings of the New Church. They were just what he had been looking for for years. They gave him the spiritual peace and satisfaction which he sorely needed. He united with the Thirty-fifth Street Church in New York in 1869. The Rev. Chauncey Giles was then the pastor of that Church. He became a warm friend of Mr. Dyer's and urged him to become a lay preacher of the doctrines. Mr. Dyer acceded to his wishes and began preaching. He continued in his pay preaching until 1876, when he was ordained as a minister of the New Church by the Rev. Chauncey Giles. For several years previous he had preached for the New-Church Society at Mt.Vernon, N.Y., where he resided, and he continued to act as the Pastor of that Church, without salary, until 1885, when his poor health compelled him to give up that work. He continued to preach occasionally in New York, Orange, New Jersey, and various other places. Many of his sermons have been published. One pamphlet, containing 'Six Sermons on New-Church Subjects' was published in 1888. In 1892 Mr. Dyer quit all work and removed to Providence, R.I., and subsequently to Warren, R.I. Since that time his health has been so poor that his preaching and lecturing and contributions to the press have been infrequent. It is probable that he will neither preach nor write anymore. [1892 was the year my mother was born. Actually, it was my grandmother who was in poor health due to breast cancer she developed in her mid to late forties.] (Submitted by Jran Walsh Quinnett, 9/4/00.)

Note*He died from an unfortunate accident in a boxing match at Yale University. He passed the examination at Harvard when he was only 16 and entered it at the age of 17. His eyes gave him so much trouble that he left and went to Paris to have them treated. In 1880 he began a scientific course in Columbia college, when his eyes again failed him. He took a sea voyage for his health, went out West and after two years, with the encouragement of his father entered Yale. (Granddaughter, Jean W. Quinnett has newspaper clippings of her mother's).
From 'The East Chester News', courtesy of Jean (Walsh) Quinnett, 9/4/00 A HARVARD MAN ON A TRAMP. HOW SUCH A TRAMP FEELS WHEN HE IS ON THE VERGE OF STARVATION. Strange experiences.-Recklessness induced by privation of sleep and food,--The kind of people who tramp.-- Their hardships and enjoyments. While on my way east from the lumber regions of Northern Michigan, it occurred to me to study tramps and tramping by personal observation and experience. I had done a good deal of walking in this country and France as a student, and I now resolved to tramp from Point Edward, Canada, on the river St. Clair, to New Bedford, Mass. So, sending my luggage home by express, I set out on my long tramp on the 23rd of October, 1881, witha meagre supply of money. I had a companion, a young Canadian, whose parents lived at St. Mary, about seventy, miles from Point Edward. He had been to the States to seek his fortune; had been ill a long time in Chicago; had become penniless, and was now trying to work his way home as best he could. Our first tramp was on the Grand Trunk railway, twenty-two miles, to Forest. The Canadian's shoes were so tight he could not make good time.Night overtook us. It was cold and rainy. We passed the night under some boards placed slantwise against a fence so as to form a sloping cover. My fellow tramp was a good English scholar, and familiar with English literature from Shakespeare to Tennyson. We beguiled the toilsome journey of the day and the tedious hours of the night with literary discussions. At Forest, my companion having become too lame to walk, we 'jumped a freight' at dusk. 'Jumping a freight' is tramp slang for taking an unobserved and free ride on a freight train. This was my first ride between cars. My companion stood on the very narrow platform of the forward car, holding on by a horizontal iron handle, with his hands behind him. I stood with one hand grasping the same handle, the other hand on the brake of the hind car, with a foot on each bumper, there being no platform on the back car to stand on. In such a position there is LIABILITY TO DEATH by the sudden parting of the train. I was at first uneasy, but familiarity with the situation soon bred indifference and recklessness. On a subsequent occasion, while sitting on one bumper, with my feet on the other, I dozed, with my hands in my pockets. Our train stopped at every station, until it reached St. Mary, where we wished to get off, and there it did not stop, but went dashing on to Stratford, ten miles beyond. The next day we crawled back to St. Mary,not being able to make two miles an hour, on account of my friend's lameness. We had had no hearty food since breakfast on Sunday morning,and it was now Tuesday afternoon. We had eaten during that time a few apples, a small load of bread, and six thin cookies. At last we procured some coarse food at a farm house for twenty cents, and made a hearty meal. On taking leave of my comrade at his home in St. Mary, I walked south at night, passing through London about midnight. A few miles further on I saw a large fire of brush and logs in a field. In attempting to reach it, I got into a swamp up to my knees. Getting upon firm ground , near the fire, I dried my shoes and socks, and lay down with my feet towards the burning heap, on a pile of brush between the fire and a steep hillside. Something rustled in the brush under me, but I would not move. Sleep I would, at any hazard. The brush on which I was lying might get on fire and set my clothes ablaze; but there was water enough in the swamp to extinguish me, and I could easily rolling to it. In my reckless state, indeed by excessive drowsiness, this thought amused me. I smiled, and fell asleep. A man becomes utterly reckless under privation of sleep. In such a state he will SLEEP AT ALL HAZARDS I have slept soaking with rain, with my hat over my face, beside railroad tracks and under station platforms, or hanging on between cars.In the latter case my hands kept awake and hung on, while the rest of my body slept. So doth 'sleep upon the high and giddy mast seal up the ship-boy's eyes, and rock his brains in cradle of the rude imperious surge.' I reached St. Thomas about eight o'clock next morning, having eaten four small apples on the way. Here I was hospitably received by kind friends, who were highly amused with my tramping career, and who sent me on my way with a pass across Lake Erie from Port Stanley to Buffalo.Thence I took a night tramp of twenty-two miles to Niagara Falls, taking three naps by the way; one in a cow-yard, where the cattle ate the straw off me, and the others on plank sidewalks. At Niagara Falls I reduced myself by extravagance nearly to the impecunious condition of the true tramp. When I left the railroad bridge I had sixty-three cents in money, twenty-four cents in postage-stamps,twenty-five cents worth of Canada plug tobacco, and a few matches. I walked, in four days, to Palmyra, about ninety miles, sleeping in barns, and eating Bologna sausage, raw onions, bread, and a few raw turnips and cabbages. At Palmyra I 'jumped a freight' at dusk, and rode between cars to Syracuse. Wishing to experience a phase of tramp-life to which I was as yet a stranger, I put up at a station-house, and slept on a wooden bench,in an iron cage, next to a crazy man. In the morning, while I was trying to 'hire out' on the canal, a sweet-voiced vagabond borrowed tobacco of me; then a mean-looking,vagabond asked for a 'chaw'; then a tattered rapscallion, with a brutal face. This last was 'Billy,' from Oswego. He was a professional beggar,and made, when he stuck to his business, a dollar a day, besides food and clothing. The winter he passed in jail. His two companions were his parasites, who paid court to him and lived on his acquisitions. Like every great man, he had his weakness. He wished to be thought a terrible fighter, though all 'broke up.' His joyous companions profited by his vanity, paying court to him, flattering him, and keeping him at work begging, and then cajoling him into spending his earnings upon them. These men presented a phase of human nature that was new to me. I had no idea that such a :dead beat' as Billy could have parasites to flatter and cajole him, and live on his revenues, and be content so to live. But, 'fleas have other fleas to bite 'em.' These were the only really abject men I met; men who preferred beggary to work and independence. I have often been asked what sort of men tramps are. They are all sorts. No particular kind of man tramps. So far as my experience goes,most of them, are either men who, having left home, have been sick or unsuccessful, and are returning home penniless; or else laboring men looking for work; or men of limited resources who wish to better their condition by getting west. Often they are men of education and of good family. There are, of course, a number of ragamuffins, and many vulgar ruffians, and the general effect of tramping is, by freedom from the restraints of public opinion, and temptation through hunger, to lower the tone. At Utica, I jumped another freight. After riding forty miles, I was so cold that I got off and walked to warm myself. Next morning, I found seven slices of bread and butter beside the track. The morning after that, I found bread, meat, and mince pie; on another occasion, a nice roasted chicken. 'The YOUNG LIONS roar after their prey and seek their meat from God. * * * These wait all upon Thee; that Thou mayest give them their meat in due season.' At Schenectady I spent my last postage stamp. Just out of Albany, I met a well dressed young fellow, who gave me some tobacco. His method of traveling one division of a railroad, was to learn the names of a conductor and his brakemen on the next division, and claim to be of their crew. I jumped my last freight to Pitsfield, Mass.It was too cold to ride. Next day, I kept on east. I was without food and money. Late in the afternoon, with reluctance I begged at a farmhouse, but being refused, I preferred hunger to further begging.Next day my appetite was improved. I knew of no work for which I was fit. Begging was repugnant.Passing through a village, I picked up a piece of cracker, and a raw turnip in the streets. On the outskirts a fishmonger threw the head and dorsal fin of a fish in the road. From these I chewed the flesh. It tasted good. I was wild with hunger. I have heard it said that hunger makes one cowardly. This may be so in extreme cases but the contrary is true as long as the strength is not seriously impaired. The blood mounted to my face. I was feverish. My eyes felt strange. I have noticed in others that hunger makes the eyes fierce and mobile like a wild beast's. I felt reckless.Nothing seemed repugnant which gave any promise of food. I begged. At the first house, a young man came to the door. I heard a woman say within, 'If he is a grown man, he shan't have anything.' The young man said he had nothing. At the next house I asked a woman for a piece of bread. 'No, sir; not a thing!' she answered. I bowed sullenly, and went on. At the third house I saw a saw-horse. My heart leaped within me. Perhaps I could get a chance to saw wood. On my application an old gentleman came out and gave me permission to work for a meal. I instantly had my coat off with a right good will. After I had worked about ten minutes the old gentleman called me in, saying I could not work well while hungry, and invited me to take a meal which he evidently had prepared for me. There was a large, round dish of potatoes warmed in milk, plenty of beefsteak, bread and butter, a quarter of an apple pie,and part of a loaf of gingerbread. I cleared the table. After finishing my job I kept on east. On reaching Palmer, east of Springfield, I turned southeast into Connecticut, intending to go to New Bedford. I reached Killingly, Conn., on Thursday morning, November 17th.Here two men, who had been on a spree, took me for A HORSE THIEF until they learned the whereabouts of their animals from a passing baker. All others treated me with great kindness. I got a job to saw wood, for which I was to receive two dollars. It took me a day and a half to doit. As I was finishing it, on Friday night, some of the bystanders, who had gathered to see me work, helped me out, each sawing a few sticks. I was now about one hundred and forty-five miles from home. I resolved to spend Thanksgiving with my relatives instead of going to New Bedford. I had five days to tramp the distance. On Saturday night I reached Mansfield, east of Hartford, dripping with rain. Entering a barn, I stripped to my undershirt and buried my clothes and then myself in the hay, so as not to have my rest disturbed by any intrusive barn-owner. I was out before sunrise. There was ice on the ground, and a strong west wind. My coat was soon frozen. My hands were too numb to hold a match to light it. My right arm was numb to the elbow. I was demoralized; but fast walking, the wind, and the rising sun, in time dried my clothes and restored my spirits. Pushing through Hartford I made my longest march of forty-eight miles. About eight miles from New Haven I entered a barn. Here I wrapped myself in three blankets, and lay in a heap on the seat of a carry-all.About six o'clock in the morning a man with a lantern came to attend to this horse. I held my breath. He took a pail near me, but evidently thought I was a heap of blankets. On the noon of Wednesday, November 23d, I reached home, having traveled about two hundred miles by freight and five hundred and fifty on foot in exactly a month. The great question in tramping is food. The more cultured a man is the more painful is begging. He has a strong repugnance to it, which only time and extreme hunger will subdue. As a rule he will even prefer to steal. Whenever he becomes known as a respectable man, he is apt to be treated kindly; but it is next to impossible to become thus known. Even if he were to stick up his college diploma or certificate of moral character on the breast of his very seedy coat, it would not overcome the suspicion which springs spontaneous in the human breast at sight of a tramp. Again, a Washington or a Franklin on a tramp would acquire 'a lean and hungry look,' from which all recoil with the instinctive feeling,that 'such men are dangerous.' Doubtless they are. I happened to get a glimpse of myself in a looking-glass in a railroad station near Palmer,Mass. I had a peculiarly bad eye-a shameless, untrustworthy eye. It,perhaps, expressed the soul within. Indeed, it would have required a childlike trust to have then made me custodian of a pantry or night-watchman of a bakery. In spite of cold, hunger and fatigue, I heartily enjoyed my adventure. I was living a primitive life, a free nomadic life. The life of civilization is made up largely of the pleasures and ills of imagination, the demands of interdependent relations. It was pleasant to me to abandon this life for a time and gauge my happiness by the clemency of the weather and the fullness of my stomach. O .D., Jr.
