E. J. Myers, livery, Braceville, was born January 29, 1844, in Du Page County, 
Ill. He is a son of Jacob and Elovina (Rhodes) Myers, natives of Lancaster 
County, Penn. The family came to Du Page County at an early day. Our subject 
is one of seven children, viz., Mary, the wife of F. Benter; E. J.; Albert; 
Eliza, the wife of George Hullinger; Maria, the wife of B. T. Harley; Jacob 
and Oscar. Mr. M. attended school some after twenty-one years of age, paying 
his way by taking care of horses for Dr. Bell, of Naperville. After leaving 
the Northwestern College, he engaged as a clerk for Kline & Rickert, 
commission merchants of 156 and 158 South Water street Chicago. At the 
expiration of six months, he began farming for his uncle, Elias Myers, of Will 
County, which he continued for two years, and then rented a farm in De Kalb 
County. One year later, he rented south of Joliet. January 26, 1881, he was 
married to Frantie Ramer, of De Kalb County, Ill., which resulted in one 
child - Floyd. He came immediately after marriage to Braceville, and opened up 
a livery business, renting an old building. He has continued the same, and has 
lately constructed a fine stable, to which he has added a fine line of buggies 
and first-class driving horses. He votes the Republican ticket.
