D. C. HYER.—The present treasurer of Lassen county was born in Dayton county,
Wisconsin, August 12, 1849. In December, 1872, he came to Susanville, where he
has since resided. He was in the post-office a short time, then engaged in
mining, and then spent three years with surveying parties. In July, 1867, he
formed a copartnership with John C. Partridge, and the firm of Partridge & Hyer
conducted an extensive merchandising business until September, 1880, when Mr.
Hyer retired from the firm. In 1879 he was elected county treasurer, his term
expiring January 1, 1883. In November, 1880, he purchased the Lassen Advocate,
and published it with A. L. Shinn until April, 1881, when he sold out. Later,
the same year, he opened a variety store in Susanville, which business at
present occupies his attention. In politics, Mr. Hyer is a democrat. In 1877 he
ran for the office of school superintendent, and was beaten by only nine votes.
He is a member of the Masonic, Odd Fellows, and A. O. U. W. lodges of
Susanvilie. December 25, 1879, he married Miss Helena Streshley, born in Lassen
county in January, 1860.
