Read More	From "History of the state of California and biographical record of the San Joaquin Valley, California" It was in May, 1875, that Conrad Myers arrived in California, settling in Sonoma county, whence in 1876 he removed to Tulare county. When he came to his present ranch, six miles northeast of Selma, in 1878, he found a desert as' yet unacquainted with the industry of man, and to encourage him in his settlement, but one house between his own squatter's claim and the town of Fresno. The region was known as the Mendocino district. Mr. Myers has long since seen his property take on the appearance of an advanced agricultural section, and as his sons reached maturity they also bought land, adjoining the homestead, and improved it. Eighty acres were bought at $75 per acre. After selling a portion of the original holding, father and sons still own two hundred acres, one hundred and fifty-three acres of which are set to grapes, and the near-by peach and apricot orchard of six acres yields a liberal income. The balance is devoted to alfalfa, of which three crops are cut each year. Mr. Myers and his sons are among the foremost fruit growers in their immediate neighborhood. Born in Armstrong county. Pa., January 4, 1832, Mr. Myers is a son of Philip Myers, who was born in Pennsylvania in 1790, and who early settled in Wabash county, Ind. In 1845 the father removed to Barry county. Mo., where he engaged in farming and stock-raising, and where his wife, formerly Margaret Myers, of Pennsylvania, died, after rearing a family of four sons and eight daughters, of whom Conrad is the eleventh child. Mr. Myers was an invalid for many years of his life and in 1875 came to California with his son, later going to Mussel Slough, Kings county, where he died in 1876, at the age of eighty-six. Owing to his father's impaired health young Conrad was obliged to work hard in his youth, as did all of the other children of this large family. At the age of twenty-one he married Hannah Hedrick, a native of Kentucky, and bought a small place about three miles from the home place in Barry county. Mo., where he lived until coming to the coast in 1875. In the meantime he left his farm in the care of his wife and enlisted in the Confederate army in 1862, serving under General Price for three years, or until the capture of that famous general. In California Mr. Myers has proved something more than a mere money-getter, for he is public-spirited to a large degree, and takes a keen interest in the enterprises and resources which contribute to the wellbeing of this district. He is particularly active in irrigating enterprises, and assisted with the building of the Centerville & Kingsburg ditch, in which he has since sold his interest, and purchased stock in the Church ditch. He is a partner and stockholder in the Palier Co-operative Packing House & Raisin Seeder Company and the Growers Co-operative Winery. Mr. Myers is a Democrat in politics, but has always objected to office-holding. Five of his eight children are living, his wife and three children, Charles Philip, Sarah M. and William Conrad having died several years ago. The children living are Mary C. Matilda, the wife of John Lagrant; Melissa Angeline, the wife of O. D. Berryhill; Orlena Price, the wife of G. D. Nedry; George W., living on the home place and operates his father's farm in connection with his own; C. H., living near his father's place.
