Robert Tyler died in Montgomery, Alabama, on December 3, 1877, aged sixty-one. His final years were spent in newspaper work after the collapse of the Confederacy, whose Treasury he had served as register. As editor of the Montgomery Advertiser he remained involved in political argument and opposition to Reconstruction. This postwar setting distinguishes his own end from the earlier deaths of his parents and from the wartime fate of the government he had served. The available biography establishes the date and city but does not identify a fatal disease or describe whether death followed a brief or prolonged illness. His continuing editorial activity is not proof that he remained physically well until the last day. No securely matched account of symptoms, physicians, treatments, final attendants, or last words has been established in the material reviewed, so those details remain open.
