William H. Hyams, farmer, and one of the prominent stock raisers of
the township, is now residing on Section 15, where he owns eighty
acres of excellent farming land, with fifty acres under cultivation.
He was born in what is now Crawford County, Ark., in 1852, and is the
son of David S. and Mary (Johnson) Hyams, natives of the same State,
and of English extraction. The mother is deceased, but the father is
still living, and is now residing in the "Golden State." William H.
Hyams grew to manhood on the farm, and agricultural pursuits have been
his chief occupation through life, which he has carried on in
connection with stock raising. He was married in this county in
September, 1877, choosing for his life companion Miss Alice D.
Bennett, who was horn in Arkansas in 1862. An interesting family of
four children were the result of this union: David S., William A.,
Leona E. and Charles C. Notwithstanding the fact that he started in
life poor, Mr. Hyams' efforts, coupled with those of his wife, have
been all-sufficient in securing a good and comfortable home.
