According to a biography on son Isaac Lyter, of Halifax, Christian is named as the father of Issac. It also notes that Christian was born in Lower Paxtang Twp., Dauphin county, PA, but moved to Halifax with his father in 1831 after he had reached adulthood, and learned the trade of blacksmith, which he followed in addition to the business of auctioneering. He traveled much over the state as an auctioneer, and was one of the most skillful and successful men in the business. His death was much lamented. He had been justice of the peace for twenty years, and had filled other local offices. This above information appeared in the Commemorative Biographical Encyclopedia of Dauphin County, Pa., 1896, by RUNK & COMPANY, publishers, p. 722. In the 1870 US PA census records, Christian gives his occupation as "Justice of the Peace", and his age of 58 years. His realistate is valued at $7,500., and his personal property at $2,500. His wife Catharine is named, as are (4) of his children.
