Ozark Tribune, Sept. 13, 1904


DAVID F. BYRD

  This is the picture of a home raised boy who has lately moved into our city.
  He was born about three miles west of Ozark on Nov. 26 (a bit faded could be 
an 8, but it sure looks like a 6) 1880, being born to Newton and Sarah Byrd. He 
was brought up on the farm, not receiving any educational advantages. His 
father is one of the best farmers in the county and has many admirers.
  He is considered on of the most upright and honorable citizenship in the 
county. Many of his noble traits have descended to the subject of this 
sketch.   
 When David first moved to Ozark he clerked for several of our prominent 
merchants but in 1902 he embarked in general merchandising and he has been 
succeeding every day. His line of customers stand by him and he is controlling 
a good trade and his business is growing as nicely as he can wish for it.  On 
January 19th, 1902, he married Miss Ella L. Peters, one of Dales' finest 
women.  
  He took a course in Montgomery Business College and well prepared himself for 
the business pursuits of life. In the even manner of his way he is moving along 
and building up a business that any one would be glad to do in the same length 
of time.  
  He has friends in the county that are looking forward to see him become one 
of the leading business men of our city because of his capacity and attention 
to his affairs.  We always welcome such thriving, thoroughgoing, and energetic 
young men to come in our city.   These young men give life and push to every 
wheel of progress.  We open wide our doors to any energetic and live young man 
as is David Byrd.  He is a valuable addition to our city.  His energy and good 
business sense will be the means of continued prosperity for the young men who 
have come to live among us.  Dave, we want to see you have every success that 
may come your way and you have a host of friends who gladly note your advance 
in the business circles of our city.  Good luck to you, young man.
