The greater part of his career has bee devoted to agricultural pursuits, but he has also found an outlet for his energies in many other enterprises linked with the life of the Western coast. He was born at Kingston, Ont., Can., on March 29, 1848, his father, Isaiah Loyst, also a native of Canada. Grandfather Loyst was born in Holland and settled in Canada in an early day and served through the seven years of the Revolutionary War. The father, Isaiah Loyst, was both a farmer and a logging, lumbering ad road contractor, and built many government roads. He married Miss Comfort McKimm, born near Napanee, Ontario. Grandfather McKimm was of Scotch descent, while Grandmother McKimm was born in the Green Mountains of Vermont. Mr. and Mrs. Loyst were the parents of three boys, of whom our subject is the youngest. The parents passed away in Canada. Andrew I Loyst received his education in the public schools of Ontario and at the age of seventeen struck out for himslef, going to the oil fields at Franklin , Pa., where he was engaged as a driller and engineer for three years, when he returned to Canada on a visit and while there became greatly interested in the reports from California. On January 6, 1868, he arrived in San Francisco and immediately went to San Jose where he found employment as a farm hand; later he and his brother J. W. Loyst purchased a threashing outfit and engaged in threshing throughout the Santa Clara valley, and they they bought a ranch on Pierce Road, containing 164 acres of choice land. This ranch they set to grapes, but the vines died, so they set out an orchard. Mr. Loyst still owns fifty-four acres of this tract, and is now devoted to raising prunes and hay. Mr. Loyst improved, cultivated and operated this ranch until 1918, when he rented it and bought his present place, an orchard home located on Mountain View road, which he has improved with a comfortable residence and a fine prune orchard. Mr. Loyst has been married twice. His first marriage occurred in the Saratoga district and united him wih Miss Maria Cox, born in the old Cox home, a daughter of William Cox, an old pioneer of that district. Mrs. Loyst passed away in 1892, leaving three children, Mrs. Mabel Breeding, W. W. and G. G.., all of this county. His second marriage in San Jose in 1906 united him with Miss Clara Karst, a native daughter of California, born at Michigan Flat, a daughter of John Karst, a native of Germany, who came to California in early days and was engaged in mining, where he spent his last days. He had married Miss Emma Bauer, also born in German, who came when a child to Philadelphia, then to California. Both parents passed away when Mrs. Loyst was a small child, and she is one of a family of seven. She attended school in Eldorado County until she was fifteen years old, then removed to San Francisco and later to San Jose. Mr Loyst is a stockholder in the Home Union at San Jose, one of the organizers and member of the California Prune 7 Apricot Growers' Association, a charter member of the Grange in Saratoga, and a member of the Santa Clara County Pioneer Society. In politics he is a Republican and he has been a liberal contributor in the erecton of church buildings and school houses. Mr. and Mrs. Loyst's interest are thoroughtly indentified with those of the West, and at all time they are ready to cooperate in any movement calculated to benfit this section of the country.
