WILLIAM PERRY MYERS:  The oldest son & second born child of Andrew & Mary Myers was a Son, William Perry Myers. He was born 12/13/1820 near Tarton, in Pickaway County, Ohio, and died 9/25/1909 in Mercer County. He is buried in New Boston Cemetery. (See Obituary Page)
 
William Perry took after his father, Col Andrew Myers, and joined the Militia: William is listed on the New Boston militia rolls in 1862.

Album says: LOU MYERS ~ Guessing it's WM P Wife
loumyers.jpg
Born about 1931 - 02/22/1872

WM PERRY'S FIRST MARRIAGE: William Perry was married twice. His first wife Louisa Brown Larrance, was the daughter of Jonathan and Elizabeth (Swafford) Larrance, she was also the sister of Noah Noble Larrance who was married to Jane (Myers) Mannon's daughter Amanda Alice (the niece of her husband WM Perry Myers).

Louisa Larrance was born about 1831 in Henry County, Indiana. She was married to William Perry on 12/13/1852 in Mercer County, and died 2/22/1872 in Mercer County. She is buried in New Boston Cemetery.

(*About above Photo "Lou Myers") The name under the photo in the album simply says "Lou Myers" in Irene's hand writting.  So this photo could either be William Perry Myers sister Louisa Myers who was born in 1837 or it could be his first wife, Louisa B. Larrance Myers born in 1831.  It's located in the album just after 2 of William Perry's sisters, but opposite 4 smaller pictures of the 3 children he had with his second wife.  So unless there'e someone out there who know's for sure which LOU this is, I'm guessing it's his 1st wife, but actually it's anyone's guess!

William along with his first wife Louisa and thier family are found in New Boston Town in the 1870 Census: William P., age 49, keeping livery, born Ohio; Louisa B., age 39, born Indiana; Myron A., 15; Horace, 11; Grace D., 9; Lloyd, 6; Lillie, 4; Earle, 1. They had an additional child, Mary Orline, born 1857, but she died on 8/28/1858 at the age of 1 yr 7 Mo 14 Ds. She is buried in the New Boston Cemetery. Son Earle also died young on 4/25/1874 at the age of  4 yrs 11 Mo 5 Ds. He is also buried the in New Boston Cemetery in a plot with his parents and younger sister Mary Orline.

MYRON MYERS LIFE & CLAIM TO FAME
We know by family documents and News paper clippings that Myron's family resides in Hinsdale, Illinois for most of his older life.  Myron is last mentioned in the Mercer County cesus in 1870 at the age of 15.  By the next census in 1880 he would be 25 and is probably married and living on his own.
 
I also remember being told that he was the Co-Founder and Vice President of the Cable-Nelson piano Company out of Chicago.  This Piano Company still exists today.  Proof that he was at least the Vice President can be found in a News paper Article written about his father William Perry attending a Republican convention in Chicago for the parties founders.  (Click HERE to See "Convention" article on William Perry & Levi page). This fact is also mentioned in a section about his life, on pg 967 of the History of Du Page County. 

myron.a.myers.aug.1911.jpg
Myron A. Myers Taken Aug, 1911

MYRON ANDREW MYERS
Myron was the oldest child of William Perry and Louisa B. Myers. He was born April 30, 1855 in New Boston, Mercer County, IL. He married Mary Eldora Rhodes on June 10, 1885 in Anamosa, Iowa.
 
"The DuPage County History" gives many interesting details of Myron's life after New Boston. First of all it states that he became a citizen of Hinesadale in 1906. And tells of his accomplishments in life starting with his first job, which was in 1871 at a printing office in New Boston at the age of 15.  In 1872 he left that job and went to work for his Uncle Levi Myers at the office of the Wapello Republic in Wapello, Iowa.  He worked at that office until 1876 when he went to Chicago.  From that time until 1904 he worked for a Chicago News Paper Compnay, first as a type setter then as an Advertising Solicitor and then Advertising Manager. Then in September 1904 he became President and general manager of the Company and he held that position unti January 1906.  From April 1, 1906 until February 7, 1911 he did indeed hold the position of Vice-President of the Cable-Nelson Piano Company in Chicago.
 
Since his father, William Perry Myers, was a delegate to the historic Republican Convention of 1856, it's only natural that Myron himself would also belong to the Republican Party. He served four years as a board member for Hinsdale. The Family attended the Congregational Church of Hinsdale, whre Myron held several offices including three years as Sunday School Superintendant. He was a Director of the Chicago Missionary Society and Chicago Theological Society as well as a corporate member of the American Board of Commissionersfor Foriegn Missions.  Sounds like he took after his Uncle Levi, being involved in both Religious and Political matters.

FAMILY FLOCK'S TO UNCLE SAM
myron.myers.children.jpg
CHICAGO TRIBUNE SUNDAY MAY 12, 1918

 
NEW PAPER ARTICLE: This article about three of Myron and Dora's children appeared in the Chicago Sunday Tribune. They are pictured left to right; Capt Harold Larrance Myers, Elizabeth Louise Myers and Edwin Earle Myers. The artilce states that "Hinsdale Brothers and Sister Enlist for Their Share of National Defence.
 
The article tells that Mrs Myers had been working weekly at the Red Cross Headquarters in Chicago as an instructress and Myron was an investment broker. Son Edwin was a soph at Dartmouth college, but had enlisted for service begining at the end his his school year which was in one month. He had applied for the aviation service. Captain Harold Larrance Myers had graduated from the University of Illinois in 1909 and was in the insurance business until the reorganization of the Nationa Guard unit for the Mexican trouble in 1914 at which time he went to the border as a member of Battery E 1st Illinois Field Artilary.
 
The remainer of the article is missing which tells about Elizabeth's enlistment duties, but I'll check in the ancestry.com archieves and see if I cant find a copy.....
 

 
Cousin Becky was checking out the passport application for Edwin Earle Myers (William Perry Myers' Grandson, Myron Myers' son), and it states the purpose of the passport is to go to Belgium as "Olympic games participant".  He applied for the passport on July 6, 1920, with the intention of sailing on July 20th.
 
This would have been the summer games of 1920 in Antwerp, Belgium. It looks like he took a bronze in Pole Vault. http://www.hickoksports.com/history/ol1920.shtml

 
MARY ORLINE MYERS
Mary Orline Myers was the oldest daughter and second of seven children born to William Perry & Louisa Brown (Larrance) Myers. She was born on January 14, 1857 and died in infancy at the age of 1 yr 7 Mo 14 Ds. on August 28, 1858. She is burried in a family plot with her Parents and two other siblings that died at young ages.

HORACE GRAHAM MYERS DESCENDANTS
Horace Graham Myers Family History Horace was the second son and third child born to William Perry & Louisa B. (Larrance) Myers. The last time I find Horace mentioned in history (on Jill & Nadine's website) was in the 1870 Census, at the age of 11. 
 
Cousin Becky Sent me Additional Info On Horace 2/2/2011:
Horace G. Myers  was born in April 1860 in New Boston, IL.
In 1892 He married Blanche R. Rogers, b. Feb 1872 Ark.
As far as I can tell Horace and Blanche only had once child; Clara Louise, born Dec 1897 in New York. 
 
An article about Horace G. Myers appears in "Notable Men of Rochester and Vicinity: XIX and XX Centuries" along with his photo. The article lists Horace as a Proprietor of Myers' Advertising Agency.
 
In the 1900 Census Records Horace & family are found living as boarders in Monroe County, Rochester, New York with his wife Blanche and three year old daughter CLara Louise. Horace's occupation is listed as Advertising. Also listed as a boarder next to Horace and Blanche is Widow, Clara E. Rogers, age 50 (probably Blanche's mother). She was b. March 1850 in Indiana.
 
In the 1910 Census Records Horace is found as Head of House Hold still living in Monroe County, Rochester, New York. Living with him are his wife Blanche, daughter Clara, Nephew Horace M. Martin born Texas and servant Martha Barth born Germany.
 
In the 1920 Census Records Blanche is listed as Widow. Blanche and daughter Clara are found living as "Guest" in New York County, Manhattan, New York.

GRACE D. MYERS FAMILY HISTORY

YOUNG GRACE MYERS

Oldest daughter of WP & Louisa Myers born about 1861

 
Grace D. Myers was the second (but first to live) daughter and fourth child born to William Perry & Louisa B. Larrance Myers.  I know Grace married a man named Albert Sayers and they had at least one child. I have several photo's of Grace and her family but I know very little about them. Searching for info on this family.....
 
 
 

Pictured above is a young Grace Myers. The back of the photo has photography info: Brund 210 & 212 Wabash Avenue Portraits. Established 1858. Chicago. Hand written on the picture is the following info: Grace Myers Sayers W.P. Myers daughter by 1st marriage.

ALBERT SAYERS To the left is pictured Albert Sayers. He was the husband of Grace Myers.  This photo was taken by a Chicago photographer.  Taylor's Studio, 81 State ST Chicago. There is no photographer stamp on the back of the photo, only a hand written message that reads: "Compliments of A. M. Sayers Walnut, ILL"
 
PICTURED ABOVE RIGHT: A more mature, adult Grace Myers.  This photo has a gold trim around the border. The front is stamped by the photographer: Stevens; (Inside a ribbon, surrounding an eagle it says) Superior Finish Cabinet Portrait; (at the side) McVicker's Theater Bldg CHICAGO.
 
The back of the photo has an elaborate gold stamped photographers signature, with words running through a ribbon surrounding an eagle like on the front; and on designs the eagle seems to be standing on. Words: INSTANTANEOUS PORTRAITS OF CHILDREN (J.K. Stevens, Chicago) SUCCESSFUL SPECILTY; Stevens Art Studio, McVicker's Theater Bldg. CHICAGO. DUPLICATES OF THIS PICTURE CAN BE HAD AT ANY TIME. AT REDUCED RATES.
 
Hand written on the photo it says: "For Lloyd Xmas '88"
 
Since some of the family moved to Chicago in the late 1800's and the photos of Grace and her family are taken at Chicago Photographers I'm guessing her family went to Chicago area as well.

* SECOND MARRIAGE*

WILLIAM PERRY MYERS DESCENDANTS
WILLIAM PERRY MYERS & MARY WESTERBLOW'S FAMILY HISTORY  

WM PERRY'S SECOND MARRIAGE: William Perry Myers second marriage was to widow *Mrs. Mary Elizabeth (Westerblo) Mattson on 8/24/1873 in Mercer County.

She came to the US from Sweden with her parents Mr and Mrs. Andrew Westerblo, between 1850 and 1860.  (SEE the Mattson page for more details)

Mary Westerblow came from a very large family with the possibility of ten children (siblings), BUT due to their Swedish accents information from census to census varies the spelling of their name (ex. - Westerblo, Westerblow, Westerblad, Westercreek, Westerbrook) so much that it's very difficult to find or even follow this family line.  Correct spelling and family details seem not to be an important issue back then.

A cousin Rowena, who is a Grand daughter of Mary Westerblo by her first marriage to Pete Mattson, found records in 2001 at the Iowa City Historical library that Mary Westerblo Mattson Myers parents were buried over there in Page Co Iowa.  So at some point after settling in Mercer County they must have migriated to Iowa.  Anyone who can get to Court Houses, Libraries, ect in Iowa should look up this info if they get a chance.

MARY WESTERBLOW'S 1ST MARRIAGE

Mary Westerblo was the widow of Peter Mattson. Mary had two children with Peter Mattson, Alice and Julius. Peter and Mary were both from Sweden but both of their children were born in Illinois. 

* When I was a kid listening to Irene's stories about her Grandma I was often confused about who was who.  Irene always refered to her Grandma as Grandma Mary Westerblo Mattson Myers.  I always wondered why she had so many names but once I started researching the family I found out that there were at least 7 Mary Myers in JUST the first three generations - No wonder I was confused!

ARLENE EMILY (COLE) MYERS

OCTOBER 1913 - JANUARY 2012

I met Lloyd and Arlene once in the 70's when I was a little girl. At the time I had no idea how very special these cousins were. I wished I had been able to reconnect with Arlene again as an adult, but sadly she passed away in Jan of 2012 at the age of 98! From what cousin Becky tells me though, our beloved Aunt Irene was a similar type of person, so in a round of bout way I did know her grandma Arlene! I can just imagine the talks Irene & Arlene are having now in heaven about the two family branches! 



James Lloyd & Arlene had four Children:

Kenneth Lloyd Myers (1931-2005).

Douglas, Linda, & Deborah

 


I'm still constructing info on

James Thomas Myers

and other New York Descendants

Since he left Mercer County in Feb 1903, I knew very little about his family, until I met Becky, Doug, Maggie and Deb.
