He married 2nd Sarah Stoffel. P.M. BYERLY, wagon-maker, Farley; is a native of Ross Co., Ohio, and was born Aug. 2, 1838; his parents came to Iowa when he was 4 years of age, and located in Dubuque Co. in 1842; they located six miles north of Dubuque; he grew up in this county, and learned his trade in Dubuque. When the war broke out, he enlisted in Co. G, 1st I.V.C., and served in that regiment three years and three months; then served one year in Co. H, 4th Regt. Hancock's Veteran Corps; he was wounded, being shot in the head in crossing the Little Missouri River, Ark. After the war, in 1867, he located in Farley and established his present business, and has continued since then, and is the only wagon-maker here; he belongs to the Order of United Workmen. In 1866, Mr. Byerly married Miss S.E. Stoffel, from Illinois; he has one son - Melville H., by former wife. - Dubuque County History Contributed by # - Among the early settlers in Farley in the 1860’s was Purdy Melbourne Byerly who’d been born in Ross Co., Ohio August 2, 1838. At the age of 4, Purdy came with his family relocating six miles N. of Dubuque. There Mr. Byerly served as an apprentice in a blacksmith shop. During the Civil War, Byerly served three years in Co. G. of the First Volunteer Calvary; then with Co. H. Fourth Regiment of Hancock’s Veteran Corps. Mr. Byerly was wounded having been shot in the head while crossing the Little Missouri River in Arkansas. He was discharged coming back to Farley in 1867 to work as a blacksmith. He also worked as a wagon maker. In later years as his health failed, P.M. gardened and raised bees. Mr. Byerly married twice. His first wife was a sister to Adam Stichler who lived near Epworth. Catherine Stichler Byerly died March 1, 1861. She is buried at Bethel, the McGee Cemetery North of Farley. Catherine and Purdy had a son, Melbourne, who moved from Farley about 1899, living later at Fair Grove, MO. Mr. Byerly’s second wife was Mrs. Sarah E. Stoffel, from Illinois, who he married in 1866. They had a son, Everet F., who was buried at Fairview. Everet died July 30, 1865 at age 4 months and 26 days. Sarah Byerly passed away shortly before her husband she died March 29, 1909, at age 78. P.M. Byerly has developed cancer on his neck, which is spreading to his face. It’s sad he had health complications since his injuries during the war. When treatment was to no avail Byerly got his business in order and admitted himself to the Old Soldiers Home in Marshalltown. He died at age 72, on Jan. 18, 1910. Burial was by his wife at Fairview.
