It was known that his health was gradually failing, but having recovered from a previous sinking spell, friends and relatives all hoped for the best. Early on Tuesday morning he rallied from an unconscious state, only to relapse into another stupor from which he never awakened. Mr. Myers was widely known all over this section of the state. A man of generous impulses and never forgetting the hospitable ways of the pioneer, he had borne adversity bravely, and enjoyed prosperity bravely. He had filled the various relationships of life as son, husband, father, brother, friend, and filled them well. Who could do more? Thomas C. Myers was born October 24, 1847, at Troy, Ohio.
