General Notes: Husband - Reuben Myers


His education was begun in the common schools of Huntingdon County, Pennsylvania. At the age of twenty, he attended the select school at Shirleysburg, where he completed his course of study. He then assisted his father in cultivating his farm until he, Reuben, reached the age of twenty-five. For about four years he was engaged in carpentry. He also taught school for eight winter terms. In 1866 Mr. Myers began farming for himself in Shirley township, Huntingdon County. He continued this for eight years, and then, in 1874, removed to Shirleysburg, and was employed by Gibney & Morrison to peddle woolen goods, for two years. During 1875-76 Mr. Myers was in the coach business, in partnership with William Drake, whose interest he bought out in 1877, and then carried on the business by himself. In 1896 he went into the sale of general merchandise, at the corner of Main and Shirley streets. His establishment was one of the largest in the town. Besides filling the office of assessor of Shirleysburg for a year, Mr. Myers was, in 1867, chosen as judge of elections, and served one year; in 1870, he was elected auditor for one year; also he served several years as assessor of Shirley township; in 1876, he was elected school director in Shirleysburg, for three years, and was again chosen to the school board in 1893, for another three years' term.
