Hi!I figured there would be a 'zillion' DYER's. I don't remember which one was mine. Zachariah, I think, but now that I know there is such a book I can try to find one when and if I ever get back up to Illinois again. As far as I know his real name was Dock Dyer and my grandpa Clarence Lea DYER was called Dock because he played baseball like the original Dock Dyer. Thanks for the info.
