That year, "17 Dec. 1695," came his untimely end. His sincerely sorrowing fellow-citizens bore their young fellow-townsman, shrouded in his plain board coffin, upon their brawny shoulders to the old "Center burying-ground."
Perhaps, like many other Tylers, he died suddenly, for he left no will; "Letters " in his estate being granted the widow, April 9, 1696, upon which date was filed inventory of his property, "£243.10," Boston, Mass., Probate Book II, pp. 149, 150.
His widow, Hannah, then of "Rehoboth," October 9, 1704, had a mortgage, in the sum of £12.6.8, from Joseph Tree, of Attleboro; which her son Ebenezer, June 19, 1710, "discharged." (Taunton Deeds, Bk. 5, p. 149.)

Gravesite Details
It is presumed that Samuel is buried here. Based on the information from the "The Tyler Genealogy" (above), I placed Samuel here with his brother, John.
