Son born to Daniel Logan and Viola Hedges Byrn.
His siblings: Alma (md. Williams), Mytie, Eunice, Renard Edgar, Kenneth Ross, William Logan, Mary Emily, Hezzie Alvin, and Marion Erring.
Married Gracie Maude Cole on Dec. 18, 1918 in Illinois.
Children: Dale and Duane
He enjoyed shadowing the police when they were on duty and many times was glad to be involved with the arresting process, when criminals were running illegal liquor, during the prohibition time.
Family has been told, during one of these police home raids, that he was sprayed in the face with buckshot, blinding him and burning his face. He was still recooperating from this, just prior to moving his family to Indiana and sent his family ahead of him.
When he did not arrive in Lafayette, Indiana, to join his wife and sons, they returned to Illinois. He was found in the bottom of their well, dead by gunshot wound. Murder was suspected, but no one was ever held accountable for it. It was, later, ruled a suicide, but our family strongly doubts the ruling.
