He is of Dutch descent, his great-grandfather having settled in this State early in the seventeenth century. His grandfather, after owning land in Salisbury and another township, finally settled in Manheim, and upon his death deeded his farm to his grandson, Jacob Kyser. Upon the death of Cornelius Kyser, father of Jacob, his estate of 200 acres was purchased by the subject of this sketch. This, together with other lands bought by him, makes a total of 540 acres of fine land in his possession. He married Eliza, daughter of Adam Bellinger, and has had eight children, seven of whom are living, three sons, A.C. Kyser, C.L. Kyser and S.B. Kyser, and four daughters. The latter are married and reside in this county. Mr. Kyser has always taken an active interest in local affairs and has held the office of assessor six years.
