Biography 'dward E. Byers 44 Rose S. Byers Ar the dawn of Spring in hforrison Cove, Penn- sylvania, along the Hickory Bottom Road, at the foot of Little Round Top Mountain, near Wood- bury, Pa., a boy was born March 21, 1877- Edward Byersv-by name, His parents, at the time of his birth, over-looked a middle name for their first son and child, Later Everett was selected, h ence--4'EdWard Everett Byersf, This tow-headed child grew and Waxed strong, on the historic Byers section of land, obtained and settled by the Byers ancestors. In those days, rural communities were really 1 isolated. Living in that kind of an enviroment dur- l ing his pre-school years, caused him to be very re- l served and timid. As a little boy starting to country school, these traits were a handicap and brought child grief to the extent that pressure from his home was brought to bear on him to attend school regularly. His first school teacher at Mt, Joyf' country school saw his need and helped this backward boy. This manifested interest was a real blessing to the lad because it instilled in him a genuine love for school and study. In later years he recalled many times with gratitude and deep appreciation the extra help his country school teachers gave him in common school. Summer 1894 he attended Professor K, Ritcheyis Summer Normal School at Woodbury, Pa. and helped Work on the home farm. School year 1894-1895 he returned to country school at 'fMt. joy. In those days money was scarce. Early Spring 1895 he worked as an apprentice in a printing office at Everett, Pa. to have money to attend the Summer Normal School at 1Voodbury, Pa. At the close of this summer session, he took the Teacher's Examination, passed it, and received his first 'l'eacher's Cer- tificate and did his first country school teaching at Mechanics Independent School' in Bedford County, Pa. Here he split wood to heat the school room and did his own janitorial work all for 222.00 per month.
