Birth*7 July 1880Wylie W. Eggers was born on 7 July 1880 in Rock Grove Township, Floyd County, Iowa.2 
Name VariationHis full name was Wylie Walter Eggers.3 
(Son) Death17 May 1890He was 9 years old when his father died on 17 May 1890 at age 43. His death left Wylie's mother with two young boys, ages 8 and 9 years.4 
(Son) Marriage31 March 1897He was 16 years old when his mother married a second time, on 31 March 1897, to Michael N. Bracken, who had also been widowed. In addition to his seven married children, Michael had five young ones between the ages of 6 and 15 years.5,6,7 
Marriage*23 February 1898He married Maggie Bracken, daughter of Michael N. Bracken and Luticia J. Cannon, on 23 February 1898 in Floyd County, Iowa. Maggie was recorded as 15 years old, although she may have actually been age 14, and Wylie was recorded as 18 years old, although he may have actually been age 17. They were married with the consent of her father, Michael N. Bracken, and his mother, Alice Eggers, who, both having been widowed, had married each other the year before.

According to the family story, it was Ardene Eggers, a daughter of Wylie W. Eggers and Maggie Bracken, who, in the 1980s and possibly interested in genealogy, enjoyed bantering, "my Mother's Father married my Father's Mother" -- which, of course, was true!2,3,1,8,6,5 
Death*21 March 1910He died tragically in the Green Mountain train wreck of 21 March 1910 at age 29. Newspapers, calling the accident the deadliest railroad accident in Iowa's history, reported that newer steel passenger cars crushed two wooden day coaches, ultimately killing 54 people and injuring nearly 40, after the train's locomotives left the rails near the Marshall/Tama county line, four miles northeast of Green Mountain in Tama County, Iowa. Wylie's horrific death left his widow, Maggie, who was 26 years of age, four children all under the age of 10 years, his mother, Margaret Alice (Tatum) Eggers Bracken, who was his wife Maggie's stepmother as well as her mother-in-law, and a younger brother, Joseph.2,3 
Burial*He was buried in Spring Grove Cemetery, Nora Springs, Floyd County, Iowa.3
