The first white child born in Port
Byron township is celebrating his
S3rd birthday today.
He is DR.. William HaineS Ly-
ford, who has resided in Port By
ron all of his life, where he has
practiced the medical profession
since he was graduated from Rush
Medical college, Chicago. His pro-
fessiOnal career has been so close
ly interviewer with the life of the
village that the story of his life
comprehend the main facts in the
story of Port Byron.
The Lyford family came to Port
Byron in the spring of 1886 from
Ohio. Their original intention had
been to settle near the lead mines
of Galva, but their journey carried
them along the Mississippi and
they saw the site of the future
town of Port Byron.
The mining country surrounding
Galva didn't appeal to DR.. Lyford's
mother and, remembering the place
she had admired so much when
coming up the river. the Lyfords
turned back and settled at Port
Byron.
Mr. and Mrs. jeremiah Hall Ly-
ford, the parents of DR.. Lyford, liv-
ed for a few days with Archibald
Allen, postmaster at Canaan, while
Mr.. Lyford and his neighbors built
a log cabin.
1t was in this cabin, built on a
spot between the present residences
of Charles Ashdown and E. G. Nc
Roberts, that DR.. Lyford was born.
The family lived in this cabin un-
til 1912 when Jeremiah Lyford
built the house now occupied by
Miss Mary Trent
jeremiah purchased large tracts
of land in the early days of Port
medical practice. He was a mem
Der of the Whig party and took
lively interest in the underground
railway.
William Haines Lyford attended
school at lie Claire and Davenport,
often walking the entire distance.
He later was graduated from Rush
Medical college. Chicago.
Married Miss Holmes.
When DR.. Lyford was a barefoot
ed boy of 10 years he watched two
heavy prairie schooners come .down
the hill, bringing George -Holmes
and family. There were seven girls
in this family and the Youngest be-
came the bride Of DR.. Lyford.
The marriage of Dr. Lyford and
Miss Jane Holmes occurred at
o clock in the morning, April rs,
11sj1, the morning when the first
soldiers left Port Byron to fight in
the Civil war.
DR.. Lyford was a busy man with
a large medical practice. He also
supervised a farm and managed
a drug store. He was a man of
advanced ideas and always stood
for reform and improvement. He
was one of the first prohibitionists
of the upper end of Rock Island
county.
Has Nine Children Living.
DR.. Lyford, though a physician,
doesn't believe in calling a doctor
at every possible excuse. His pre-
scription for a long and healthy
life includes plenty Of fresh air
and exercise in the open and ex-
treme moderation in the use of to-
bacco. He sawed and split many
cords of wood between the ages of |
so and 82 He still enjoys walking |
to his farm, three and a half miles |
from town.
Nine of DR.. Lyford's children are !
living. He has % grandchildren Z
and 10 grandchildren. His !
eldest daughter, Mrs. Grace SkeI- !
ION. is postmistress of Port Byron. |
Two grandsons, Byron Shelton and |
Ralph Shelton, served in the world 4.
