He was a power in this county and had already been a practitioner at the Warrenton Bar. Whether or not we can claim him as a factor of its fame, he was certainly a conservator of its high standing. He was a dignified man, free from trifling and not easy to approach. He appeared to the young to possess that dignity that doth hedge a king. Whatever may have been the impression he made, he came to this office to administer justice and the effect of his decisions satisfy as to how well he performed his duty.”[4121] “Judge Tyler died last night of Erysipelas, has not been sick over one week —We have had very many sudden deaths among adults. I expect it is owing in part to the Hospitals, the atmosphere is diseased –not pure as it was want to be –I feel much sympathy for the family – I believe he was a kind good man. He will be missed in the community.” He died Feb. 13, 1862 according to Mrs. Caldwell.. “John Webb Tyler, of Prince William County, became the Judge of the District Court following the death of Judge John Scott.
