Byers, of Glenwood, a Real Pioneer of West Veteran Iewa Auctioneer Arrived at East Plattsmouth Seventy Five Years Ago. , Colon. 1 T. G. Dyers, veteran auc tioneer grew reminiscent Friday June 1st as this day marked the seventy fifth anniversary of his arrival in this community, he having come with hi. -5 parents, Mr. and Mis. John A. Dyers, when but a small child, from their home in Ohio, by boat down the Ohio and up the Mississippi and Misunui river, landing at old Beth lehem, a setlement on the east bank of the Missouri just opposite Platts mouth on June 1, 1S53. On the ISth day of June of that year they settled in Glenwood. tak ing up their abode in a log cabin. minding near the present home of F. S Killmon on South Hazel street. joi n Byers was a cobbler by trade and opened a shoe stop in that loca tion and found a ready market for his services as lie received several orders for boots within a few days after locating here. He later opened a slion in what is now the west side of the square, where he worked at hi.? trade for many years. Mr. Livers has seen the town of Glenwood come into being since his arrival here, as the name was chang ed from Coonville. to Glenwood by the legislative enactment, which es tablished Mills county, and Glenwood as the county seat, in January of the next year. The first court house, he recalls was a wooden structure which i stood where the K. A. Baker grocery is now located on the west side of th square. What is now the court house square was then a dense thick et. The town was in those days a main street town with what few business bourses there were, located on what is now Locust street. The oldest building in town Mr. Byers believes is the residence property just north of the A Mayberry prop erty on the east side of Locust street. This was an early day jewelry store and operated by an old Englishman by the name of Kobinson. Mr. By ers recalls the erection of the present ! court house which was built in 1857 ami also the erection of the West Hill school building which was built 'just sixty years ago. He recalls that , Henry Clay Dean, democratic candi date for president, opposing Abraham Lincoln spoke here in Glenwood in the campaign of 1860. The political rally was held in the grove north of what is now the north side of the square and the speakers platform was erected about where the present home of Dr. F. M. Shriver now stands on North Vine street. Despite the fact that time has brought many changes Mr. Byers who has been a continuous resident of this vicinity for three quarters of a century, has retained his youthful vigor and en thusiasm.
