Frank C Byers whose record of continuous service in the Iowa legislature is longer than any other individual was born June 20th 1883 at Alden Iowa and died April 27th 1962 in Cedar Rapids. He attended public schools and Grinnell College before taking up the study of law at the University of Iowa. He was admitted to the bar in 1904 and the following year had a practice in Cedar Rapids.
For the remainder of his life he lived either in Cedar Rapids or by Marian. He was married in 1909 to Myra Lyon Byers who survives. Other survivors include a daughter Mrs. Alden D (kathleen) Avery of Spencer Iowa and two sons Ganson L of Tucson Arizona and Frank Jr. of Cedar Rapids. Mrs. Avery's father-in-law was the late state representative A. H. Avery of Spencer with who Mr. Byers served in the legislature for several sessions.
