OLD TIMER PASSES TO THE GREAT BEYOND IN ST. PAUL
The sad news reached Cody Monday afternoon telling of the death of Roy Myers, at the home of his wife's parents, Mr. and Mrs. Herman N. Phillips, of St. Paul, Minnesota.
Mr. Myers illness covered a period of over a year and death was due to a complication of heart, kidney and liver trouble.
Roy Myers was born in Dennison, Kansas, 37 years ago, his mother being the second eldest sister of the late Col. Wm. F. Cody. He spent his early manhood in Kansas, coming to Cody in 1902, to take charge of Col. Cody's possessions in and about the city. He had complete control of all the Colonel's holdings and under his management they were handled in a successful and business-like manner. Later on Mr. Myers devoted his time to the management of the Buffalo Bill barn. This was during the days when the livery barn was the mecca for the ranchers, the cowboys and the towns men alike. No automobiles sped over the roads of this country in those days and a livery barn was the first place a traveler on horseback or in a wagon went upon arriving in town.
About this time Mr. Myers was united in marriage to Miss Rella Phillips, of St. Paul, Minnesota, and a year or so after this marriage the young couple moved onto the ranch east of town, which has been their home ever since. That was some twelve yean ago, and since Mr. Myers devoted his time to ranching and the stock business entirely.
Coming to Cody in the days when this country and the surrounding vicinity were only just beginning to take on the appearance or modern civilization, Mr. Myers has watched its wonderful growth with a personal interest and always took an active part in all activities leading to its growth and betterment. He can justly he counted as an "old timer" and it is with regret that his many friends see him taken over the Great Divide so early in life.
Deceased had not been in good health for the past year and last fall he and his wife went to St. Paul, hoping that with the aid of medical skill there he would regain his former good health. But all efforts toward that end seemed to prove futile and last Monday the death angel made its appearance taking with it a man whose memory this community will ever cherish.
Mr. Myers is survived by his wife, a sister, Mrs. Jim Copas, and a brother, Harry Myers, the latter both living in Kansas. The funeral was held this afternoon in St. Paul, and the body was laid to rest there, in the family cemetery.
