  • Introduction

    (Published in History of Idaho: The Gem of the Mountains Vol. 3 by James H. Hawley 1920) Adin Parker Tyler, a mining engineer by profession and a graduate of the Michigan School of Mines, is now giving his attention to the conduct of a business at the corner of Tenth and Grove streets, in Boise, where he is dealing in motorcycles and bicycles. He came to Idaho in 1907 from Minneapolis, Minnesota. He was born near that city on the 3d of June, 1884, and was reared and educated there. After his graduation from the Minneapolis high school he spent three years as a student in the University of Minnesota, pursuing a mining course, and he completed his training along that line as a student in the Michigan School of Mines at Houghton, Michigan, where he was graduated with the degree of Mining Engineer in 1907. His education completed, he then started out in the business world on his own account, leaving the home of his parents, Lucius A. and Clara Elizabeth (Parker) Tyler, the former a native of New York and the latter of Minnesota. The father is now a retired farmer. Following his removal to Idaho in 1907, Adin P. Tyler spent one year at Wardner, Shoshone county, in the employ of the Federal Mining Company, and for two years was at Silver City, Owyhee county, with the Banner Mining Company, acting as mining: engineer with both concerns. In the fall of 1910 he went to Alaska and was an engineer with the Alaska Consolidated Mining Company, but after a few months returned to Idaho in the spring of 1911 and took up his abode in Boise, where he at once established his present motorcycle and bicycle business at the corner of Tenth and Grove streets. He has occupied the same quarters continuously since, covering a period of eight years, and within three months after establishing his present business he secured the Harley Davidson agency at Boise and has had this agency since not only for Boise and Ada county but also for Canyon county, Idaho. He handles the Harley Davidson motorcycles and bicycles but also handles some other cheaper grades of bicycles. The nearest Harley Davidson agency to him is one hundred and fifty miles distant and this gives him a wide field. The A. P. Tyler Motorcycle & Bicycle Emporium in Boise has become one of the established concerns of the city. On the 12th of April, 1914, Mr. Tyler was married to Miss Ethel Gray, of Boise, who was born in North Dakota but was reared in Idaho's capital from her girlhood days, her parents being Mr. and Mrs. John Gray, well known citizens here. Mr. and Mrs. Tyler have one daughter, Frances Claire, now three years of age. Fraternally Mr. Tyler is a thirty-second degree Scottish Rite Mason and a member of El Karah Temple of the Mystic Shrine. He is also an Elk and has membership with the Boise Commercial Club and the Delta Upsilon, a college fraternity. He turns to hunting for recreation but gives the major part of his time and attention to his business affairs, nor is he ever neglectful of his duties of citizenship, but on the contrary supports every well devised plan and measure for the upbuilding of the city, the extension of its trade relations and the advancement of its civic standards.
