BYERS, Will

SHEPHERDSTOWN -   By a strange coincidence, the large pyramidal Norway pine, planted by Mr Will Byers thrifty-five years ago at Valley Rest, near town, withered and died the last fall season at the same time he passed away. This tree had been his special pride, and often he recounted that he had planted and taken care of it. Its decay and removal takes away one of the finest ornaments of that country place. -Shepherdstown Register
