JERRY TYLER.—He was born in Pennsylvania, in the year 1828. When three years old
he went with his parents to Cleveland, Ohio. As soon as old enough he worked at
anything which offered. Was messenger in the Granville bank, and afterwards
learned the mason's trade, at which he continued until twenty years of age. Was
soon afterwards married to Miss Elizabeth Pulford, and then went to Johnson
county, Iowa, where he purchased some land and also engaged in the livery
business. He soon sold his interests here, and came to Lassen county,
California, bringing with him twenty-five buggies and carriages, and a lot of
fine horses. He stopped for a time at the place where Mr. Ridenour now lives,
but afterwards removed to Nicholas Clark's place, a part of whose house he
rented. The following January, while they were out, their little girl Francis
accidentally set fire to the house, the fire consuming it and all their
household effects. Soon after, he bought from Mr. Kingsbury the place he now
lives on, near Milford. Mr. Tyler was again married February 14, 1864, to Miss
Parker. Their children are Grant, born May 20, 1865; Thomas Sheridan; July 27,
1868; Stanton Farragut, September 17, 1870; Jessie Louise, July 27, 1874; Laura
Edith, January 29, 1876; Sumner Custer, January 24, 1878; and Stanley Edson,
February 2, 1881. Mr. Tyler is the inventor of a very ingenious appliance for
unloading, stacking, and distributing hay and grain.
