HARTFORD REPUBLICAN
FEBRUARY 19, 1892

                               HENRY FRANKLIN MYERS

	Was born in our sister State, of Tennessee, April 24, 1859, son of 
William and Mary Slagle Myers.  William Myers was a man prominent in local 
politics, once making a race for a seat in the Legislature of Tennessee and 
being defeated by only a few votes.  While Henry was quite young his father 
moved to this State and settled in Madison county, and finally in 1873 he moved 
to this county and bought a farm near Rosine, where he has since lived.  Young 
Myers worked hard on the farm and owing to that fact his educational advantages 
were limited to the district school.  But he made such good use of the 
opportunities that were here afforded that he acquired a fair education, and in 
1887 taught a very successful school at White Oak, near Olaton.
	Mr. Myers wooed and, won Miss Malinda Bennett, daughter of John Allen 
Bennett, Sulpher Springs, to whom he was married in July, 1885.  They have 
three children, Buelah Ernestine, aged four; Gay Fulton, aged two, and Eulah 
Edna, aged one.  To religious belief Mr. Myers is a Methodist, in political 
belief a Republican.  From among a number of candidates he was elected Justice 
of the Peace in August, 1890, for the Rosine Magisterial District, and is a 
careful faithful, officer.  He has been appointed by the Court a member of the 
Board of Commissioners, authorized to build the Barretts Ferry bridge over 
Rough River, which is, by the way a worthy compliment worthily bestowed.
	Trained in the school of adversity, bred to the independent life of the 
farmer, possessed of a rugged house, having raised by hard labor from humble 
circumstances to competency. Henry Franklin Myers moves among his fellows a 
model, upright honest man.
