"Thomas Tyler and his wife, Sarah Shi Tyler, moved from Jasper County to Bibb County in the area of Holton (Macon near Riverside Cemetery). They both died before 1860, were buried in a family burial ground in "unmarked graves." Over the years, the graveyard was gradually lost. First by farming cultivation, and then after the country went back into forest, pulpwood cutters, destroyed the last vestige of its identity. Then the interstate 75 came through, it was one of the many cemeteries found, and graves were reset in "unmarked graves.

Thomas Slade, #54301450 and Jean A. (Saunders) Willingham, #54301423 had personally visited the cemetery on March 25, 1961. Photo of this document is included to Thomas Tyler's memorial. It was Thomas and Jean (Saunders) Willingham who had place Thomas and Sarah (Shi) Tylers' in Salem Methodist Church Cemetery.
He joined the M. E. Church. He served as Class-leader for a number of years. When his country was invaded in 1814, he shouldered his musket in the defiance of the frontier of his adopted State. His afflictions have been very severe and distressing for a great while, so much so as to impair his mind. For months before he died he did not even know his own children. But ask humify he knew Jesus, and the old Christian's eye would brighten -- reason would be restored in a moment, and he would tell us he had known him for nearly sixty years, and he had been precious to his soul; and while on this subject he would appear as rational as ever. The theme was one upon which he delighted to dwell. He lived a consistent Christian all the time and under all circumstances, and in all his afflictions, though protracted and distressing. "Not my will, be thine, O'Lord, be done," was his language.

The Tylers were plagued with untimely deaths throughout their families and children who were orphaned and had to be cared for.
