This is where Edward and Elizabeth (Campbell) Byram settled in 1850, and commenced to prepare a suitable location for their future home. They went to work with a will, and strict attention to their duties and earnest and energetic efforts they had soon accumulated a fair competency. Soon, however,a misfortune befeel them in the failing health of Mr. Byram. After the first year he was not only unable to attend to the duties of the farm, but even to look ater the business in a general way, his wife, however, cheerfully assisted him in their enterprises, and soon developed rare ability as a manager. On Oct. 7, 1858, Mr. Byram died, leaving six children and a devoted wife to moun their loss. For the brief period he had lived in the community, he had won the respect and esteem of all of those who knew him. He was born in Highland County, Ohio, on March 11, 1819.

After the death of Mr. Byram the entire duties of the management of the homestead and carrying on the business thus inaugurated by her husband fell upon Mrs. Byram. She proved amply able to cope with every undertaking, and has displayed exceptionally rare ability as a lady of business. She has embarked in enterprises, and successfully carried them out, that would tax the business capacity of many of the shredest of far-seeing men. The results of her labors since are the best evidence of her ability as well as the highest commendation of her as a lady and a mother. In 1863, Mrs. Byram purchased a small heard of Short-horn cattle in Kentucky. These were drived to her Hickory Grove Farm by her brother, who remained with her until his death, some years afterward. For years she devoted considerable attention to stock-raising, meeting with unusual success. Her name has become familiar among the circles of the leading stock-raisers of the county.
Getting tired of the hard labor incident to carrying on such an extensive business as she had, and feeling that at last she had put in store a competency for her decling years, Mrs. Byram concluded to dispose of her thorough-bred stock. She terefore made sales in 1865, the last occuring in October. She at present has retired and rented her farm, and propses to take the world easy the remainder of her days.
