General Notes: Husband - David W. Myers
He spent nearly his entire life on the family farm, having moved there with his parents when just six years of age. He secured the foundation of a good education at the common schools, afterward attending the Pleasant Valley Academy, which was followed by a year at Washington and Jefferson College. He profited well by these advantages, and became a well-read, intelligent man, one of the leaders in his county. After his education was completed, he began to work on the home farm.
He was a sturdy advocate of Republican principles. He held the office of school director and assistant assessor of his township; in 1889 he was elected one of the directors of the poor for Washington County, for a term of three years, and re-elected in 1892. He always took an active part in all matters of interest to the county, and with his family was a member of the U. P. Church of Pigeon Creek, being a ruling elder in the same.
He was reared in West Bethlehem Township, Washington County, Pennsylvania, and was educated in the common schools and at Washington and Jefferson College. He followed farming and stock raising quite extensively until 1906, when he retired from the farm and then resided in the borough of Washington. From early manhood Mr. Myers took an interest in politics and was frequently elected to public office. Thus he served for twelve years as a director of the poor, being elected first in 1889 and subsequently in 1892, 1895 and 1898, and was elected in 1905 and served one term of three years as a county commissioner. He served the township in various offices, such as assistant assessor and school director, having been chosen to the latter office soon after attaining his majority.
He and his wife were members of the Second United Presbyterian Church of Washington, and prior to leaving the country were identified with the Pigeon Creek United Presbyterian Church, he having served as a Ruling Elder in that congregation a number of years until his removal to Washington. In his retirement Mr. Myers devoted his time to the cultivation of fruits and flowers, the oversight and adornment of his farm and home grounds and found leisure for reading and study.
