DAVID F. BYRD
This is the picture of a home raised boy who has lately moved into our city.
He was born about three miles west of Ozark on Nov. 26 (a bit faded could be an 8, but it sure looks like a 6) 1880, being born to Newton and Sarah Byrd. He was brought up on the farm, not receiving any educational advantages. His father is one of the best farmers in the county and has many admirers.
He is considered on of the most upright and honorable citizenship in the county. Many of his noble traits have descended to the subject of this sketch. When David first moved to Ozark he clerked for several of our prominent merchants but in 1902 he embarked in general merchandising and he has been succeeding every day. His line of customers stand by him and he is controlling a good trade and his business is growing as nicely as he can wish for it. On January 19th, 1902, he married Miss Ella L. Peters, one of Dales' finest women. He took a course in Montgomery Business College and well prepared himself for the business pursuits of life. In the even manner of his way he is moving along and building up a business that any one would be glad to do in the same length of time. He has friends in the county that are looking forward to see him become one of the leading business men of our city because of his capacity and attention to his affairs. We always welcome such thriving, thoroughgoing, and energetic young men to come in our city. These young men give life and push to every wheel of progress. We open wide our doors to any energetic and live young man as is David Byrd. He is a valuable addition to our city. His energy and good business sense will be the means of continued prosperity for the young men who have come to live among us. Dave, we want to see you have every success that may come your way and you have a host of friends who gladly note your advance in the business circles of our city. Good luck to you, young man.
