General Notes: Husband - John Wilson Byers

---

After attending grammar school he completed his education in the Clinton High School. Until 1888 he remained on the home farm, in that year engaging in teaming at Imperial, Pennsylvania, in 1889 moving to Coraopolis, Pennsylvania, where he was for nine years a teamster and an employee in the oil fields of the Standard Oil Company. In August, 1907, he established himself in the hardware business in that place, his store being on the corner of Mill street and Fifth avenue, whence he moved in 1906, locating at No. 935 Fifth avenue, there building a three-story store and residence, twenty-five by seventy feet. Here he continued in business for some time, carrying a widely inclusive line of general hardware and also handling several stove agencies.
He was one of the organizers of the Ohio Valley Trust Company, and served that company in the capacity of director. His services to the borough were as a member of council, a position he held for one term, and as tax collector, filling the latter office for fourteen years. Both he and his wife were members of the Presbyterian Church, and he belonged to Pittsburgh Lodge, No. 484, Free and Accepted Masons, and to the Halcyon Club of Coraopolis.
