General Notes: Husband - Ora Edwin Myers


Venango Citizen-Press Nickleville News, 10 April 1940
Obit: Myers, Ora Edwin
Ora Edwin Myers, aged 69 years, eight months and four days, died March 24 following an illness of only three weeks' duration. Funeral services in his honor were held in his home Saturday, March 27, 1940 with Rev. J. V. Mountain officiating. Interment followed in the Myers lot in Georgeville Cemetery.
Although the weather and roads were extremely bad, the funeral was largely attended. Ora was the son of Solomon and Catherine Jane (Weaver) Myers and one of a large family. After the deaths of his father Solomon Myers and his brother, Marion, he became the sole owner and operator of the Myers Flour mill, which was destroyed by fire in 1934, a few years before his death. After the fire he turned his entire attention to his farm labor, making a specialty of potatoes. He was one of the best of millers.
