    • DAVID MYERS DEAD
      Passing of Another Old Soldier and Good, Cheerful Citizen
      Funeral Services Held Today

      Tuesday night at 10:15 o?clock death relieved David MYERS of his sufferings from rheumatism and heart trouble. He was a good man, always cheerful and apparently very happy. He had been in failing health for some time, and about one year ago moved into the property on West Mechanic Street, where he died. His farm place, three miles north of town, was in charge of his son-in-law, John KILLINGER.

      The funeral was held at the Presbyterian church this forenoon, the services being conducted by J. A. SPENCER, minister of the Christian Church, assisted by Rev. WOOD, of the M. E. Church. Interment in Grandview Cemetery.

      The following was prepared by a long-time friend of the family.

      David MYERS, was born in Pennsylvania, January 10, 1843. With his parents he moved to Ohio, and at the age of ten years came to Worthington, near which place he lived on a farm.

      In 1866, he married Miss Katherine BRANSTETTER, who resided near old Camp Ground, in Richland Township, and near which place they both resided until a year ago.

      Besides his wife he leaves three children ? J. Wesley MYERS, of Wheatland; Mrs. Mattie FLATER, wife of John FLATER, of this place, and Mrs. Altona KILLINGER, of Washington Township.

      The deceased had five brothers?Sam MYERS, Evansville; Jacob MYERS, Indianapolis; William, John and Eli MYERS, Worthington?and one sister, Mrs. Jennie MCCORMICK, Indianapolis.

      Mr. MYERS was a brave soldier and served through many hard campaigns in the Civil war. He enlisted in the SEVENTY-FIRST [REGIMENT] Indiana VOLUNTEER INFANTRY in August 1862, and after serving nearly one year, was transferred to the SIXTH CAVALRY, and was mustered out of the service after the close of the war in Jun 1865. He participated in the battle of Richmond, Kentucky, and in many skirmishes round Nashville and in east Tennessee, and was in General Sherman?s famous march to Atlanta and the sea.

      He was a member of the Church of God at Tulip for a few years, and in 1889 placed his letter in the C. P. congregation at Camp Ground, where he was made an elder and which position he occupied until his death. He was always an active church worker and superintendent of the Sunday school at Camp Ground for many years.

      He was a holy man, a conscientious Christian in the truest sense of the work, always helping where he was most needed. He was kind and affectionate to his family and to all his neighbors and friends; cheerful at all times and having a simile and a kind word for everyone.

      He loved life and expressed a desire to get out and do good, but was reconciled to God?s will and was ready when his time came.
