The address for Ernest L Byard in 1910 was 1002 Winchester Ave. He also appears in the City directory for  Kansas City, Missouri at that same address.

1911 directory shows him at 1813 Ind Ave.

1912 directory shows him at Bellaire Ave.

US WW1 Draft shows Ernest Littlefield Byard born 27 May 1881 - 8040 Michigan Ave. Kansas City. Jackson. Person that will always know him is his mother Mary Byard at the same address. Dated 9/9/1918
