MEL T. HOYT, publisher and proprietor of the Parker Press, is a native of Watertown,
Wis., and was born in 1854. His parents five years later removed to Sioux City,
where they remained six or seven years and then located in Yankton, Dak. Ter. In
this latter place our subject grew to maturity and made his home until 1883, that
year coming to Parker shortly after his marriage.

Mr. Hoyt in 1885 bought the Parker Press of McConnell & Hughes, and in 1889 put in a
steam plant, making it the first printing office in the county to utilize steam. It
was also the first building in the town heated by steam.
