Former Mayor Dies.-Hon. John NJ.
Lyter, former mayor of this city and
sheriff Of the county, is dead. Mr..
Lyter had passed his Goth birthday on
Nov. IS, amidst his old friends at the
Fejervary home where a dinner was
served in his honor. George Z. Hub
bell, the dean of the Scott county bar,
wrote a poem on his Goth birthday
Coming to Scott county in the pioneer
days, Mr.. Lyter was well able to tell
the younger people Of the arduous
tasks set before them and the means
of overcoming these difficulties.
Hon. John NJ Lvter was born in
Gainesville, Mo, Nov IS, 1925. The
family moved to Iowa in 1887, settling
in Rockingham. His parents being
southerners had slaves in the slavery
states but relinqgished all rights or
them when they came north. In 1851
Mr.. Lyter commenced a general store
in LeClaire. He soon returned to this
CITY and in 1859 was elected assessor.
Two years later he became deputy
sheriff under James Thornton, which
position he held until 1868, when he
was chosen sheriff and held that posi-
ton all through the Civil war. He
filled his position admirably in those
hazardous and trying times. In 1870
Mr.. Lyter was elected mayor of Daven-
port and later resigned TO enter the
publishing business with his brother
in-law, A. T. Andreas, Of Chicago. Mrs.
Sophia L. Andreas, wife OF this broth
er-in-law, who resides in New York,
with several nieces and nephews are
the only surviving relatives.
