General Notes: Husband - Julius Byles

---

He passed his boyhood at school and on a farm, and at the age of seventeen he entered the academy at Waterford, Erie county, this state, where he spent some time in that school in a preparatory course for college. While con­nected with the academy he taught school three terms, and afterward he taught two terms at Springboro, in Crawford county. In 1863 he entered the sophomore class of Jefferson College, at Canonsburg, Pennsylvania, and while a student there the Washington and Jefferson colleges were merged into one institution, taking the name of the Washington and Jefferson Col­lege. He was graduated in 1866. Then he read law.

He studied law in the office of Benjamin Grant, at Erie, Penn­sylvania. He was admitted to the Erie County bar in August, 1868. He immediately afterward began the practice of law in Venango County, Penn­sylvania, and continued in his practice there until about January 1, 1870, when he moved to Titusville and entered into partnership with F. B. Guthrie, under the firm name of Guthrie & Byles. The firm lasted until Mr. Guthrie left for California in the fall of 1888, a period of over eighteen years. Mr. Byles continued in the practice of his profession alone until 1890, when he associated with Eugene Mackey, the partnership being named Byles & Mackey.
