MYERS, NATHAN (5/12/1892) Death of Nathan Myers. Perhaps no name is more familiar to the citizens of Clarion county generally than that of Nathan Myers. After a long, active and industrious life, spent mostly in Clarion county, he quietly passed away at his residence in Clarion on last Saturday morning at a few minutes before four o'clock. He had been in failing health for some time and in the fore part of March he became confined to his house and soon after to his bed which he kept until his death. He suffered no pain, but lost his appetite and strength and gradually grew weak and feebler, and for a few days before his death was quite helpless. His mind remained bright and clear until his death. Mr. Myers was born in Lancaster county, Pa., November 29, 1816, - being 75 years, 5 months and 8 days old on the day of his death. When a lad of about ten years of age his father removed with his family to near Lewisburg, Union county, Pa. He attended the Public Schools in Lewisburg and when some years older taught classes in penmanship, in which art he was very proficient. However, while still in his minority, he "went west" in search of employment, locating in Ohio, where he remained a few years as a clerk in a store. About 1844 he came to Clarion and entered the store of his uncle, Judge Christian Myers, at Clarion Furnace, which was located about a mile from Clarion, north of the river. Some years later he started and owned the foundry now owned by Strickler & Ray in this place, which he owned and carried on for a very considerable period. Selling this property to the present owners, Strickler & Ray, he went into the hardware and grocery business on what is now the Kribbs block lot, on which he also resided. Being burned out of home and place of business about 1873 he bought and moved into the house now occupied by Mr. Pickens, on Wood street. He soon became Cashier of the Discount and Deposit Bank and retained that position in that bank and its several successors, the Discount and Deposit Bank Limited and the Second National, until his death. He was identified with practically the whole growth of the town and its improvements, being largely interested in the later and more important enterprises here, such as the gas works, water works and Normal School. He was married in this place to his present widow, then Miss Sue C. Clark, daughter of the late John Clark. This ceremony was performed by the late Rev. James Montgomery, January 19, 1854. He united with the Presbyterian church of this place, by confession, January 28, 1853; and served the church as deacon from January 21, 1854, to June 14, 1867, and as ruling elder from the last named date till the day of his death, never missing a single communion after his connection with the church. In these positions he was a most faithful and acceptable officer. He was a worthy citizen and very highly respected. During his last illness his loving and devoted wife was constantly by him, answering every call and rendering him every kindness and attention in her power. He leaves a son and four daughters, but no other immediate relatives in this section of the country. A brother, David, lives in Lewisburg, Union county, also a sister, Lizzie, and a brother, Lewis, in Fremont, Ohio. The funeral services occurred from the family residence on Monday afternoon and were conducted by Rev. J.S. Elder, assisted by Rev. L.J. Shoemaker and Rev. A.F. House, the evangelist. After the Scripture reading by Rev. Shoemaker, Dr. Elder, who had so long been the pastor of the deceased, spoke of his life and character in words tender and appropriate and was followed by Rev. Houser in a most fervent prayer for Divine strength and guidance for the bereaved wife and children. The services were largely attended by neighbors, friends and acquaintances from the town and various sections of the county and elsewhere. After those present had been given an opportunity to look for the last time on the face of one so long familiar in our community, the casket, upon which rested a most fitting emblem, a ripe sheaf of wheat, was followed to the cemetery by a large concourse of sorrowing and sympathizing relatives and friends. The pall bearers were chosen partly from the deceased's fellow officers in the Presbyterian church and partly from his fellow officers in the Second National Bank and consisted, respectively, as follows: David Lawson, Esq.; A.L. Ivory, Esq.; Prof. A.J. Davis; Hon. R.D. Newell; C.A. Rankin and Porter Haskell.
May 12, 1892 Clarion Democrat
Among the immediate relatives of the late Nathan Myers who were here to attend his funeral were his brother David Myers, and his daughters, Mrs. W.P. Smith, of Washington, D.C.; Mrs. Harvey Fritz, of Oil City; Mrs. A. Farland, of Pittsburgh, and Mrs. James Murrin, of Franklin, and their husbands.
