General Notes: Husband - Tobias Myers

---

He was born on the old Myers homestead, situated about one and a half miles away from the New Stanton post office, Westmoreland County, Pennsylvania. He continued to live on the old place until the year 1874. He had in that year reached the completion of his twenty-sixth year, and leaving the parental roof devoted himself to various lines of work for a time. Three years later, in the month of November, 1877, he began an independent enterprise, establishing himself in a general mercantile business at Middletown, Hempfield township. In addition to his mercantile business, Mr. Myers carried on large agricultural operations on his farm which he inherited as one of the heirlooms of the family. This farm contained some thirty acres, situated on a fine elevation and particularly adapted to the raising of fine fruit and general farming.
He was a Democrat in his political belief and was regarded as an important factor in the affairs of Hempfield township. For several years he served as township auditor, and was appointed postmaster in the year 1881, an office which he continued to hold for four years and until it was discontinued. He was a man of strong religious convictions and was a member of the Lutheran church at Harrolds for a great many years, having held the office of treasurer there for fully four decades.
