Closing of Byrne Brothers Hardware
Closing of Byrne Brothers Hardware
May 1966
"Santa Cruz Old Timers Going Out of Business"
One of Santa Cruz's oldest business firms, Byrne Brothers Hardware, is closing out its books after more than 70 years of continuous operations, it was announced yesterday.
John Byrne and Roy Mayfield, partners in the store since 1930, said details of the close-out sale will be announced Thursday.
Byrne Brothers was established in 1894, when two Michigan brothers, George G. and Walter C. Byrne, arrived in Santa Cruz and bought a tinsmith and woodstore. The original location was on Pacific avenue near the present site of Santa Cruz Savings and Loan.
The business prospered, and in 1905 the firm was moved up the street to its present location at 1531 Pacific ave - 16 Pacific ave in those days. The firm included not only hardware sales, but a plumbing and sheet metal department. The shops behind the store, finally disappeared in 1958, when a city parking lot took over the land.
Mayfield, a native of Tennessee, has been with Byrne Brother for all his business life, joining the firm in 1916. He and John Byrne bought an interest in the company in 1930, buying out the share of George Byrne. The partners in 1930 were Mayfield, Byrne, and John's father, Walter Byrne, one of the founders. An active partner was Helen Byrne, widow of the other founder, George G. Byrne.
For more than 50 years, the store has provided free scales for friends and customers dropping in. An old-style beam platform scale was first used, the sort with sliding weights. Later the Toledo dial scales were installed still in use, regularly tested and sealed for accuracy.
Byrne said neither he nor Mayfield has made plans beyond the closing sale. Once the stock is sold out, they hope to sell the building and site, he said.
Another old-timer about the store is a pickup truck which Byrne described as "of this generation" -- a 1939 truck with the original paint and lettering on it. The truck is still in regular use.

Death of Charles Byrne
Death of Charles Byrne
Obit. - Santa Cruz Surf, 1/22/1912, P 8 Col 5

Death of Charles B. Byrne

In the passing of Charles Benjamin Byrne, one of the best known, honored and solid citizens was taken away from the community.

Death came suddenly and his many friends were unprepared for the sad intelligence which conveyed the news of his death.

Many had been greeted by him in his usual pleasant manner on Saturday, he was as well as usual.

On Saturday evening, with his wife and daughter, he was quietly spending the time around the family fireside, when unexpectedly he was taken with a spell of coughing and in a short time had passed away. A physician and relatives were summoned, but arrived too late. Death was caused by heart trouble. The son, Dr. Don Byrne, arrived home from town just after the father had passed on, which was about two o’clock.

Mr. Byrne came to Santa Cruz from Michigan, his native state, about 35 years ago, and for many years was a leading merchant a member of the large hardware firm of Heath & Byrne. He was also for a long time the capable city superintendent of waterworks, under several different administrations.

About thirty years ago he married Miss Florence Washburn a member of one of the California pioneer families and has been a husband devoted to his home, wife and children.

In earlier days he was prominent in the social life of the community, and many remember him in the days of the Aonian Society. He had marked dramatic talent and often appeared in leading roles in productions by that organization, which then was so prominent in the life of the town.

In political affiliations he was a Democrat and was interested in the political life of the State and nation.

In fraternal circles he held membership in the Odd Fellows, under whose auspices the funeral will be held.

Mr. Byrne made an extended visit to Eastern friends and his boyhood home last year, which he greatly enjoyed.

Mr. Byrne leaves three children, Mrs. Helen Cornell and Dr. Don W. Byrne of this city and Mrs. Marion Russell of Plainfield, NJ.

He was an uncle of George G. and Walter C. Byrne of this city and he had been associated with them since his retirement from the superintendency of the city water works.

The funeral services were held this afternoon at the family home on Mission street, the R. J. B. Orr officiating.

Found among a batch of my father's (John Austin Byrne) negatives, this photo was clearly taken by him on a trip with his parents to the Grand Canyon. A beautiful photo that captures the cool distance I remember in their relationship. -- Hugh Byrne

The Phenix
The Phenix
The town of Windham takes the lead in being the first in the county to send out that great modern educator, the newspaper. The first effort of this kind was made in 1790. During that year John Byrne, of Norwich, set up a printing press in the lower room of the court house in Windham Green, and early in the following year began the publication of The Phenix or Wind-ham Herald. His office was now removed to a location just north of the court house. The first issue was dated Saturday, March 12th, 1791. It was a modest little sheet, printed on coarse, bluish-gray paper, but in most respects, if not all, fully equal to the average newspaper of its day. General and foreign news was furnished with customary promptness-foreign news three months after date, congressional reports in ten or twelve days, and full reports of Connecticut elections three weeks after they took place. These, with advertisements, short moral essays, humorous anecdotes and occasional casualties, made up the table of contents. But few items of local events were printed. Meager as was the paper, it satisfied the public. It was accepted as the organ of Windham county, and in a few years was supported by some twelve hundred subscribers, being distributed in all directions by post riders.
