General Notes: Husband - William Nelson Myers


Venango Spectator, May 22, 1884:
Myers\emdash suddenly in Rockland Twp., May 12, 1884, William Nelson Myers, an old and respected citizen in the 77th year of his age.

Citizen-Press, Franklin, PA; May 22, 1884:
W. N. Myers was born July 16, 1816 and died at his residence in Rockland, Venango Co., PA May 12, 1884. He was converted and joined the M.E. Church March 3, 1842, and was a faithful and efficient member until transferred to the Church Triumphant. His removal from earth was sudden and unexpected, but he was ready and at the Master's bidding passed from labor to reward. In his death the community has lost a good citizen, the church a faithful leader and the family a kind husband and loving father. But we trust their loss is his eternal gain.


General Notes: Wife - Jane Armstrong


Excerpts from Jane Armstrong Myers' obit:
She died at her home near Myers Mill, Venango Co. on Wednesday, January 23, 1901. She was 80 y, 2 m, 11 days. Seventh daughter of Robert and Sarah Armstrong. Jane was converted in early youth at a camp meeting held near present-day Edinboro. In the early days when churches weren't numerous, divine services were frequently held at her father's house, which became the religious center of the community. She was 'happily married' on 6 June 1844 at her Clarion Co., PA home by Rev. James Plant to W. N. Myers. On the following day they came through the then almost unbroken wilderness to their farm near the present site of Myers Mill. There were few wagon roads in that day and the entire distance was traversed on horseback.... She had been in feeble health for some time so her demise was not unexpected. Funeral services were held January 25th, conducted by Rev. Mr. Sutton of the Rockland M. E. Church ...
