  • Introduction

    HYZER, Abram E. The power of acquiring great wealth is a blessing to any man if he have at the same time the knowledge and this disposition to sue it properly and employ the opportunities which it brings for enterprises of moment in which the welfare of his fellow men is involved. Tried by this standard, Abram E. Hyzer, of Gunnison county, and one of its leading ranch and stock men, is entitled to a high regard. He has accumulated by his own endeavors and business acumen an ample fortune, and he has made his earnings and his enterprise subservient in a thousand ways to the good of the section in which he lives, and conferred benefits on his fellow citizens there, which are material and of magnitude, even though they may not always have been appreciated at their full value by the recipients. Mr. Hyzer was born in Delaware county, New York, on April 26, 1852, and was trained in thrift and usefulness on his father’s farm, securing his scholastic training in its earlier stages in the public schools near his home, and afterwards attending a good college at Monmouth, Illinois. His parents, David and Margaret (Laidlaw) Hyzer, were also natives of the Empire state and passed their lives within its borders, carrying on extensive and profitable farming operations. Their son Abram remained at home until he was twenty-one years old, then worked on a farm in the vicinity until 1876. In that year he moved to Hodgeman county, Kansas, and there during the next four years he kept a general store at the town of Marion. In the spring of 1880 he became a resident of Colorado, locating in Gunnison county in April on a portion of his present ranch three miles north of the county seat on Ohio creek. He has added to his domain by homesteading and subsequent purchases until his ranch now embraces seven hundred and fifteen acres, and has been converted into one of the most valuable and highly improved places in the county. The land has been vigorously improved and cultivated as it came into his possession, water has been abundantly supplied until the land is practically all well irrigated, good buildings have been added, and profitable employment has been furnished on it to numbers of persons from the time when its enterprising proprietor first occupied any of it. The principal crop raised on the ranch is hay, of which it yields about seven hundred tons per annum, but good crops of grain and other products are also raised. An average of six hundred cattle, nearly all well-bred Durhams, are generously supported here, Mr. Hyzer having one of the choice herds of the region, and with commendable pride in them as one of his most pleasing productions, and with the spirit of devotion to his business which seeks its best results, and to his section of the state which aims to keep the standard of its yield in everything up to the highest mark, he always keeps his stock in excellent condition. While a loyal Republican in political affairs, he is not an active partisan worker, rather seeking in his public activities the substantial good of his community than partisan advantages. Fraternally he is connected with the Masonic order in lodge, chapter and commandery at Gunnison, and also with the order of Elks and the Woodmen of the World there. On December 10, 1881, he was married to Mrs. Melissa (Clark) Wilkins, a native of Wisconsin. Pursuing the modest tenor of his way, without ostentation in his life or bearing, Mr. Hyzer is universally recognized as one of the most progressive and useful citizens of his section of the state, and enjoys in a high degree the esteem of all who have the pleasure of his acquaintance.
