Lyke, B.C., farmer, first saw the light of day August 22d, 1854 in Montgomery county, New York. He lived in that county for about two years, when his parents moved to Rock county, Wis., where he lived until 1881. That year he moved to Clay county, and located on the SE quarter of section 21, Meadow township, and has since engaged in farming, an occupation he pursued previous to coming to this place. Since his residence in that township he has held the office of trustee and road supervisor. He is a stalwart republican in politics. In 1879 he was married to Miss Margaret Austin. They have four children, John G., William C., Alice A. and Robert B.
