General Notes: Husband - John G. Myers
He was born in Würtemburg, Germany, and came with his parents to Butler County, Pennsylvania, when about three years old. He was reared on the homestead in Oakland township, and received a common school education. At the age of seventeen he commenced to learn the plasterer's trade, and followed the same in Butler and Brady's Bend until 1867. In that year he located at Millerstown, and engaged in the milling business, under the firm name of Myers & Fetzer. He was also interested in oil producing and farming, and in 1887, in connection with his son Henry J., he established the Millerstown Deposit Bank.
He was a member of the German Lutheran church, was one of the trustees of the Millerstown congregation, and filled the office of deacon in that society. Politically, he was a Democrat, and served in the borough council, and filled the office of school director for twelve years or more.
