Named in honor of General Ulysses S. Grant, who later on became President of the United States ~
"Youngest son U.S. Grant Myers had earned a degree at Heald's Business College in San Francisco in 1884, and in 1897 he headed to the Yukon in search of gold.
Three years later, Grant returned several thousand dollars richer, married sweetheart Mattie Smith and settled down to raise a family and manage the ranch."
[The Time Standard - November 19, 1997]
Children of Grant & Mattie:
Sons - U.S. Grant Jr., Andrew Fay, Lesser Roosevelt and Willis, with Nevada "Vada" being their only daughter.
"The Myers family partriarchs [patriarchs] are buried in the nearby family cemetery. First of all, there is Grant "Pappy" Myers. His father, Elias Myers, founder of the town, named his son after his personal hero. His son's whole name was "Ulysses S. Grant Myers," named after President and Civil War General Ulysses S. Grant, who visited the area."
