PHILIP MYERS.—He was born in Luzerne county, Pennsylvania, October 22, 1818. In
1833 he, with his parents, went to Licking county, Ohio, where he remained until
twenty-one years of age, when he went to Randolph county, Illinois, and worked
at biacksmithing, which trade he learned in Ohio. In 1852 he came overland to
California, arriving in Marysville September 3 of that year. He here worked at
his trade until February, 1854, when he went to Oroville, where, besides working
at his trade, he engaged in the hotel business and farming. In 1860 he went back
to Marysville, and in 1862 to San Francisco, where he remained until 1864, when
he came to Lassen county and started a blacksmith and wagon shop in Susanville.
He continued here until 1871, when he bought 160 acres of land one mile south of
Susanville, where he has since made his home. He has since added to his farm,
until he now has 640 acres. He was married December 21, 1845, to Miss Hannah A.
McCormick, who was born in Boone county, Kentucky, January 31, 1827. The
