General Notes: Husband - John Piper Byers
He was in the mercantile business in Venango County, PA, from 1851 to about 1907. He began clerking for William S. Devore in Franklin at the age of twenty-one years, was sent to Dempseytown to take charge of the store of the late Judge Robert Lamberton, and later went to Cooperstown in the same capacity. After a few years he bought the store, which he continued to carry on in the Lamberton building. Some years afterward he sold out to L. T. Lamberton and put up a store building of his own at Cooperstown, where he gained the reputation of being the best country merchant in Venango County. He retired in his old age. [CAB, 692]
