In1853, with a small company, he crossed the plains to California, with ox teams. They were six months in reaching the Pacific Coast, but since that time, Mr. Dyer says, he has several times passed over nearly the same route in three or four days. He was instrumental in building the first store in the village of Hartford, which was afterward remodeled and fitted up for a hotel and was widely known as the Rassette House. The Postoffice block now occupies the same site. Returning to California in1855, Mr. Dyer became the manager of Cross & Andrews saw-mill, some times shipping as much as 1,500,000 feet of lumber in cribs, floated down the Paw Paw River to St Joseph, thence across the Lake to Chicago.
