It is not known to me just when Mr. Byron,came to Topeka,Kansas,but he was here in 1860.  He lived out his life living on Harrison Street,he moved a few times through out his life,No. 85, 313 and 315 Harrison. He spent his life in Law enforcement.

In the 1870's he was a Deputy U. S. Marshal,  In the 1880's he was a Policeman,and Bridge Policeman.  Towards the end of his life, 1890's he was a Night Watchman for the Rock Island Depot.
