General Notes: Husband - James Ross Byers

---

He was reared to maturity in Findlay township, Allegheny County, Pennsylvania, and after his marriage bought land in the same locality, a farm of one hundred and forty acres. To this property he made numerous improvements in the shape of new buildings, and by careful farming raised his land to a state of profitable cultivation, living there until his death, not having married a second time after the death of his wife. Both were members of the Presbyterian Church, and he was active in the organization of a church of that denomination at Imperial, Pennsylvania. The Republican party received his undivided support, and he was for a number of years a justice of the peace, an office to which he was elected as the candidate of that organization.
