General Notes: Husband - John M. Byers

After attending school he remained at home with his parents, and worked on the farm until reaching the age of twenty-two years. At the end of this period he began to learn the stone mason's trade, which he followed as apprentice and journeyman for eight years. In 1889 he engaged in the business of manufacturing tombstones and monuments at Cherry Tree, Pennsylvania, where he came to do a prosperous business. He was a member of Lodge No. 417, I. O. O. F., at Cherry Tree, which he served as recording secretary; and also belonged to the Modern Woodmen of America, Camp No. 6924, at Barnesboro, Pennsylvania, and several other fraternal organizations. In politics a Republican, he was an active worker for his party and was elected justice of the peace in Burnside township, Clearfield County, in 1906.
