The Lake Odessa Times, Wednesday, December 30, 1903

The first intimation that the blow had struck so near home came Sunday morning 
when the news came that Bert Meyers of this place had been killed, and a rumor 
became current, which was later confirmed, that Earl F. Coykendall, a member 
of the late firm of Coykendall Bros., meat dealers of this place, had also met 
his fate.  It was also learned that Wm. Smith an employee of Coykendall, from 
Saranac, was killed and John Post of Clarksville, who is well known here and 
who has recently engaged in selling pianos in this vicinity was seriously 
injured.

Bert Meyers was a youth of 18 years, and a son of Walter Meyers of this place 
who is employed by the Ice Co.  He was a bright and promising young man and 
had been employed by the Bauer Creamery Co. of Bauer, Mich. during the season, 
and was on the eve of entering the Agricultural College at Lansing to take a 
three months course in butter making to better him in his profession.  He was 
on his way from Bauer to Lake Odessa.  His body was among the most frightfully 
disfigured and was identified only by papers found in one of his pockets.  His 
remains were brought here for burial and interment was made in Lakeside 
cemetery yesterday.  He was an only child and his mother had long been dead.
