OBITUARY
William Penn Myers was born in Kingston, Pa., Sept. 5, 1847, departed this life at his home in Falls City, Nebr. Jan. 17, 1905 aged 57 years, 4 months and 12 days. He was the son of Madison F. and Harriet Myers. The home was in the famous Wyoming valley of Pennsylvania where so many stirring scenes occurred during the American Revolution. The Myers family bore an honorable part in that great struggle.
Lawrence Myers one of the early settlers received a large grant of land in Pennsylvania for heroic services in the Revolution. Mrs. Martha Bennett Myers, grandmother of the deceased was a remarkable woman and bore a distinguished part in their troublesome times. The Meyers homestead stood on the banks of the Susquehanna river near the fort called "Forty Fort" because 40 brave men defended it in a terrible siege. From this pioneer stock, strong and sturdy, W. P. Myers sprang, and from them he no doubt inherited some of those sterling qualities of character which so impressed all who knew him.
he was patient, conscientious, self reliant and resolute. No duty too small to receive his careful attention. Mr. Meyers was noted for his kindness of heart, those who worked for him for years never knew him to speak unkindly.
Mr. Meyers was educated at the famous Methodist Seminaries in Cazenova and Wyoming. He was a student of law at the university of Michigan. In 1881 he was converted and united with the M. E. church in Kingston, Pa.
In June 1882 he was united in marriage to Miss Helen McCarthy. Four children were born to them, three still survive, Miss Miranda, Miss Martha and Lawrence Myers.
Mr. Myers came to Nebraska to live in 1890, subsequently located in Michigan until 1900 when he again located in Falls City. He had great faith in Nebraska and especially Richardson County.
The deceased leaves a wife, three children, one sister Mrs. Martha A. Weaver, one brother in Pennsylvania and many other friends to mourn his departure.
The funeral service was held in the M. E. church Sunday Jan. 22 at 3 p.m. in the presence of a large audience of people. Rev. W. T. Cline Ph. D. officiated. The tribute of our people as expressed--a good man and a worthy citizen has departed from our midst.
The internment took place in the Steele Cemetery.
