Virgie Myers, 57-year-old steam engineer, who fell from a second story porch while walking in his sleep early Monday morning, died at 4:30 o'clock yesterday afternoon at St. Luke's Hospital. Mr. Myers has been under care at the hospital since the accident and never regained consciousness. His is the fifty-fourth accidental or sudden death in Butler County this year.

He was immediately taken to the hospital where an operation was performed in an effort to save his life. He grew steadily worse, however, and died yesterday afternoon.
