"Aaron Lytle was a blacksmith by trade, and went to Pennsylvania when a young man, and from there came to Wayne County, Ohio, where he married. He quit blacksmithing when about thirty-five years old, and engaged in speculating, buying and selling land, merchandising, etc. During the financial crisis of 1837, he lost the greater part of his means.

In 1840, he came to Porter County, purchasing an improved farm of 169 acres in Boone Township, and in the spring of 1841 moved his family out. In 1852, he sold his farm, moved to Valparaiso, and bought a steam sawmill near town which he operated for some time. He speculated in land, and engaged in other business enterprises until his death, in the fall of 1870." (from "Counties of Porter & Lake, Historical and Biographical" Goodspeed & Blanchard 1882 pg. 257, 258 City of Valparaiso)
