Myron “Mike” D. Hyland Sr., 78, of Hannibal, Miss., formerly of Austin, Minn., passed away on Tuesday, June 4, 2013, at Hannibal Regional Hospital.

Myron Dean Hyland Sr. was born on Nov. 30, 1934, to Jens A. and Esther (Smith) Hyland on the family farm east of Austin. Myron attended rural Burr Oak School and Austin High School. He married Ernestine Nelson on Dec. 27, 1952, at St. Olaf Lutheran Church.

Myron was a farmer, construction superintendent, an auctioneer and an antique dealer, with a life-long appreciation of hard work and skilled craftsmanship. His hobbies included traveling, especially to auction destinations, reading, wood-working, home remodeling and playing cards, especially with his family and grandchildren. Always finding work a pleasure, Myron and his son Rick operated Hyland Antiques in Hannibal.

Myron’s greatest treasure and source of pride was his family, and he loved spending time and sharing his talents with them. His advice and counsel, his keen memory and many stories, his sense of humor, and smiling blue eyes will be deeply missed.
