TYLER, William, R. C. bishop, born in Derby, Vermont, 5 June, 1806; died in Providence, Rhode Island. 18 June, 1849. At the age of sixteen he became a Roman Catholic, with his parents and all the members of his family. He was educated at a seminary that was conducted by his uncle, the Reverend Virgil Barber, at Claremont, New Hampshire, studied theology under the guidance of Bishop Fenwick, and was ordained a priest in 1828. He was stationed at the cathedral at Boston for several years, and was then sent to Aroostook, but returned to Boston, and was appointed vicar-general. In 1843 the new diocese of Hartford was created, and Father Tyler was nominated its first bishop. He was consecrated on 17 March, 1844, and went to Providence, Rhode Island, which he made his episcopal residence. Although he was subject to constant illness, his administration was active and successful, and, principally through the aid he received from missionary societies in Europe, he increased largely the number of churches and priests. Bishop Tyler took part in the sixth and seventh councils of Baltimore.
