In many dark days she showed him the silver lining of the cloud and gave him new hope and energy. She still lives to share his honors and his prosperity as she shared his adversity, -- -a . noble example of a faithful wife, a devoted mother and a benevolent Christian woman.
They have two sons, both of whom are lawyers. The elder, William N. Dykroan, married Miss Bell Annan, and is practicing his profession very successfully in Brooklyn. The youngest, Henry T. Dykman, married Miss Ella B. Clyne, of Dutchess County, and is practicing law in White Plains, where he has accumulated a very good practice.

He is a Democrat in the broadest sense of the term, but not a partisan, and a consistent member of the Episcopal Church.
