The late Mrs. J. S. Myers
A brief note was made yesterday of the death of Mrs. Emily Myers, widow of the late Col. J. S. Myers which occurred shortly after 2 o'clock yesterday afternoon, Dec. 10, in the residence, corner of Elk and West Park streets, which had been her home for over 49 years.
Although she recently entered her 78th year, Mrs. Myers retained her health and strength in a marked degree until the past summer. In June last she began to fail. Medical skill and affectionate ministrations of the family did much to postpone the end which the patient herself recognized as inevitable. As late as the day before her death she told that her summons was close at hand. Her mind was clear and her spirit unclouded to the last and she sank calmly into rest, yielding up in Christian faith a life whose many days had been useful and whose closing years were full of peace.
The memory of Mrs. Myers' sterling and lovable qualities will line in the hearts of those who knew her. She was loved by her neighbors, abounded in kind and helpful deeds to the sick and distressed and she a
most devoted mother. Her disposition was singularly cheerful and sympathetic. From a knowledge dating back to his childhood, the writer can say that there never was a time when she did not have a smile and a kind word for young and old. Of a retiring nature, she walked the quiet ways of life and it was in the domestic realm that she was seen in her bat, for she was ever a home woman. In all her days she was unfailingly loyal to her sense of duty. She was guided by a Christina spirit, and from her youth she was a consistent member of the Methodist Episcopal Church.
Mrs. Myers was the youngest of seven children of Samuel and Elizabeth (Davis) Bunnell, the former being a native of New Jersey. Her parents migrated from Loudon county, Va., to this part of the country early in this century. Mr. Bunnell enlisted and served in the War of 1812, and after the close of that war he took charge of a tract of 400 acres of land belonging to Gen. Mead, on French Creek, a short distance above the mouth of Sugar Creek, in Sugarcreek township. Here Emily was born on Aug. 13, 1817.
Subsequently her parents removed to Franklin and on the 8th of April 1834, she married James S. Myers, who studied law and was for a generation a prominent and successful member of his profession. In October 1884, Col. and Mrs. Myers celebrated their golden wedding in a social gathering which was greatly enjoyed by the old friends. The death of Col. Myers occurred Oct. 20, 1885.
Three of their children died in infancy; another (James Paxton) died in childhood and the eldest daughter Elizabeth (who married John H. Lee) died over twenty years ago. The surviving children are: Samuel B. Myers, attorney at law; Lauretta R., wife of Jas. D. Chadwick; James Briggs Myers, Dr. Wilbur F. Myers and C.A. Myers, attorney at law. All are residents of this city except Dr. Wilbur F., who is located at Edenburg, Clarion county. A sister of Mrs. Myers, the widow of the late Ross Foster of Sandycreek township, who resided in Akron, O., at the age of 82 years, is the only survivor of the Samuel Bunnell family.
Funeral services will be held in the late home of the deceased at 2 o'clock tomorrow (Wednesday) afternoon.
