He was born in Loudoun County, Virginia, December 3, 1825. In 1840 he moved with his father's family to Morgan County, Ohio, crossing the Alleghanies in a covered wagon. December 6, 1853 he was married to Miss Harriet Beebe, of Watertown, Ohio, and on December 6 of this year, they observed their sixty-first wedding anniversary. Eleven children were born to Mr. and Mrs. Myers. Three died in infancy and eight reached mature manhood and womanhood. Mr. Myers is survived by his wife, six children, sixteen grandchildren and five great-grandchildren. The children are Mrs. J. J. Wright, Mrs. W. S. Ruggles and A. P. Myers, of Emporia; Frank Myers, of Americus; Mrs. Henry Remley, of Herrington, and William B. Myers, of Corpus Christi, Texas, all of whom were with him in his last illness. In 1853 Mr. Myers located on a tract of timber land in the Muskingum Valley, near Marietta, Ohio, where he followed the cooper trade for nearly a quarter of a century. In the spring of 1885 he moved with his family to Americus, where he engaged in gardening and fruit growing until his death. He was a wide reader, and it was his habit for many years to spend his evenings reading aloud to his family. He was a close student of National affairs, and was greatly disturbed during his last days lest the United States should again become involved in war. He came of sturdy pioneer stock, stanch in their patriotism and love of liberty. His ancestors fought in the War of the Revolution and in the War of 1812. He served during the Civil War in Company I, One Forty-eighth Regiment Ohio Volunteer Infantry, from which organization he was honorably discharged September 14, 1864. He was a member of the Americus Post No. 249, Grand Army of the Republic. Funeral services conducted by the Rev. E. H. Knepp, pastor of the Americus Methodist Church, were held at the home this afternoon at 1 o'clock, and interment was made in the Americus Cemetery. ~Emporia Gazette, 28 Dec 1914
