Tryon, Charles F., watchmaker and jeweler, corner Main and Pembroke
streets. This business was established in this city quite recently,
although Mr. Tryon has long been a resident of the county, having come to
Lake City with his parents in 1858, since which date that city has been
his home, with the exception of the year spent in Wabasha, and the time he
was completing his trade in Chicago. Mr. Tryon was born in Indiana; grew
up in Lake City; attended school there, and completed his school studies
by taking a two years' course in Shattuck school, Faribault. Leaving
school at nineteen years of age, he entered the jewelry and watchmaking
house of Crane Brothers, Lake City, where he spent three years learning
his trade. From that place he went to Chicago, and for two seasons worked
in that city, perfecting himself in his trade, at the expiration of which
time he established himself in this city, in the spring of 1882. During
the eighteen months he has been here, he has succeeded in building up a
very successful trade, which is constantly increasing.
