  D. C. Dwyer, of Edgerton, Kan., is a Johnson county pioneer. Mr. Dwyer is a
native of Ireland and a son of D. J. Dwyer, who spent his life in that country.
D. C. Dwyer, whose name introduces this sketch, was the first mayor of Edgerton
and served two terms in that office. He came to Kansas in 1866 and settled at
Lanesfield, Johnson county. He is a blacksmith by trade and was one of the first
to open a shop at Lanesfield. He worked at his trade there for a number of
years, when he removed to Edgerton where he successfully conducted a general
blacksmithing business until the present time. Mr. Dwyer married Miss Mary
Sullivan, a native of Ireland, and they have three children, as follows: Mary,
resides in Kansas City, Mo.; Jeremiah, engaged in farming near Edgerton and
Maggie resides in Kansas City, Mo. Mr. Dwyer has spent nearly half a century of
his life in Johnson county, and during that time has built up a reputation for
honesty and integrity, and has made many friends. He has had a great deal to do
with the upbuilding and betterment of the town of Edgerton and has been
interested in its welfare from almost its beginning, and has seen it grow until
it has become one of the important and prosperous towns of Kansas. Besides being
the first mayor of Edgerton, Mr. Dwyer has served as justice of the peace for
thirty-eight years and for a number of years was police judge.
