The Commercial-News, Danville, Vermilion County, Illinois, Saturday, February 4, 1911 and Wednesday, February 8, 1911; microfilm from the Abraham Lincoln Presidential Library.
SATURDAY, FEBRUARY 4, 1911:
"PASSING OF ED MYERS AN OLD TIME PRINTER
"SUCCUMBS TO AN ATTACK OF PARALYSIS SATURDAY AFTERNOON
   "C. E. Myers, one of the oldest printers in Danville, organizer of the
Vermilion County Poultry association, and active in the affairs of this city for
more than thirty years, died suddenly at his home, 708 North Vermilion street, a
little after 12 o'clock Saturday.  He was stricken with paralysis during the
forenoon and Dr. Steely was summond.  The doctor worked with him for several
hours but could not save his life.
   "Mr. Myers was about 55 years old and single.  He had made his home for
several years with his sister, Mrs. Greenawalt.  He set type on the old
Commercial for several years, retiring from the business when machines came in
use.  He engaged in the business of raising fancy poultry, and as a breeder of
Wyandttes was known the country over.  He loved the woods and the river, and
spend much of his time in the summer fishing and camping.
   "Nothing is known as to the funeral arrangements."

WEDNESDAY, FEBRUARY 8, 1911:
"CARD OF THANKS
   "We wish to express our heartfelt thanks and gradtitude to the many friends
and neighbors who so generously assisted during the illness and death of our
beloved brother and uncle, Charles Edward Myers.  To those who so kindly sent
floral offerings, there will always be a remembrance. 
"MR. AND MRS. GREENAWALT AND FAMILY
"MR. AND MRS. B. S. MYERS AND FAMILY
"MRS. MARY E. MYERS AND FAMILY"

Additional Comments:
Census records lead me to believe that C. E. Myers' home number should be 706
rather than 708.
