CHARLES M. TYNER, proprietor of the Alamo Garage at Holtville, California, has
been a resident of Imperial County since 1905, and Holtville proper since 1916.
Wherever progress and industry are mentioned as broad factors in the development
of Imperial County the name of Mr. Tyner can always be found prominently
displayed. Mr. Tyner was born in Benton County, Arkansas, January 28, 1877, the
son of William C. and Lucy (Sanders) Tyner. At the present time Mr. Tyner's
father is residing in Los Angeles. His mother passed away in 1913, the body
having been interred in the cemetery at Artesia, California. The family is of
English origin, members of which came to this country prior to the Revolution.
Charles M., the subject of this sketch, received his early education at Mountain
City, Kansas, and left school at the age of 17 years. Shortly thereafter he
assisted his father on the farms, working in Kansas, Oregon and California,
until he reached the age of 22 years. He then started as a fireman with the
Southern Pacific where he remained for two years, and then obtained a position
as engineer with the Holton Interurban Railway, for which concern he worked
seven years. Previously to this Mr. Tyner had been employed by the Holton
Interurban as a fireman, acting in this capacity for two years. Leaving the
Holton people, Mr. Tyner purchased his present lucrative business and which is
now rated as one of the largest of its kind in the county. He employs three
mechanics steadily and is thus proving to the satisfaction of every one that his
business is without a doubt one of the most successful. Politically Mr. Tyner is
a Democrat, although he has never aspired for public office. Fraternally he is a
member of the I. O. O. F. Lodge of Holtville. Mr. Tyner was married at Yuma,
Arizona, December 28, 1902, to Miss Charlotte M. Taggart of San Antonio, Texas.
They have one son, Charles Victor, born at Yuma, February 23, 1904.
