She died February 27, 2015. Marian attended Martland school district 55 through the first semester of her freshman year. She attended Geneva Public High School, graduating in 1936. During the six years after graduation, Marian worked at several places. She never applied for any of the jobs she was asked to work at; Geneva Milling Company, the Fillmore County Shop, Geneva Sewing Center, Geneva Public Schools Library and at the Fillmore Sheriff’s Office. Each job was advancement for Marian. February 1, 1942 Marian was married to Vorus Myers of Wichita, KS. Their marriage was blessed with five children. Vorus and Marian enjoyed 50 years of marriage. She was baptized November 27, 1927 in the United Brethren Church in Martland. She was a very loyal and faithful member until 1932 when the family moved to Geneva. From 1923-1942 she was a member of the United Methodist Church where she was active in choir and a Sunday school teacher. Upon Vorus and Marian’s marriage, they lived in Wichita, KS. During the war, Vorus was employed at Beech Craft Airplane Factory. Returning to Chelsea township and their farm, they raised their family. As the children grew up, Marian became involved in many of their school activities. In 1954 the family joined the Congregational Church, and she was involved in choir, Sunday school teacher and superintendent, past president of circle, general fellowship and member of the music committee. She also was a 4-H leader for 9 years, past president of Fillmore Co. Farm Bureau, and County Republicans Women’s chairman. She was honored as the oldest attending graduate at the alumni banquet last year, 2014. Her children and grandchildren have been a great blessing to her.
