John W. Myers Dies in The Dalles
Funeral services for John Wesley Myers, 59, who died in The Dalles hospital from a heart ailment, were held in the Community Church, with the Reverend W. Thomas Applebee officiating. Burns Mrotuary was in charge of the funeral arrangements.
John Wesley Myers was born June 23, 1888, near Fossil, Oregon, on the ranch of Thirtymile Creek now owned by Kenneth Craig. John was the youngest of four children born to Sarah Ellen and Mason Myers. His mother and father, sister, Mima May, and brother Edward E. preceded him in death, Edward Myers having died just one year to the day prior to the death of John Myers. His parents, two brother and sister moved to Oregon from Iowa in 1886.
About 1911 he homesteaded at Muleshoe in Wheeler county, and in 1914 he and Pete Born went to Alberta, Cananda, to obtain a homestead, but were unable to secure one. As a consequence, the two men returned to Oregon.
In the spring of 1916, he was united in marriage to Emma Lenora Harrison of Lonerock. This was the first church wedding to have been held in Lonerock. To this union two children were born, one daughter, Elvera and one son, Kenneth.
In January 1934, John Myers and his family moved to the ranch northeast of Condon formerly owned by the late Pat Murtha. He lived there until poor health forced him to leave the ranch, at which time he went to Arizona for the Winter. Returning to Condon in the Spring, Mr. Myers remained here until he was taken to the hospital in The Dalles, a week prior to his death.
He is survived by his widow, Nora Myers, his daughter Elvera Myers, his son Kenneth Myers and two grand-daughters, all of Condon, one brother, Arthur, of Fossil, other relatives and a host of friends.
