WILLIAM T. BYERS was born in Columbia, Boone county, Missouri, July 6, 1831,
crossed the plains in 1850, and arrived at Ringgold, El Dorado county, August 9
of that year. Here he engaged in mining. He came to Plumas county June 10, 1863,
and kept hotel for many years. He was elected county clerk in the fall of 1877,
retiring from public life in March, 1880. Mr. Byers is one of the most
public-spirited men in the county, and the people are indebted to him, not only
for an efficient administration of county affairs during his term of office, but
for many improvements made in and around the court-house. Mr. Byers now
superintends the Plumas House in Quincy. Since living in California he has made
three trips back to Missouri, the last one in l877.
