ABRAHAM F. MYERS farmer, P.O. Hagersville, is a grandson of 
Henry Myers, who was born, lived, and died in Plumstead 
township, near Smith's corners.  He was both a mason and a 
farmer.  He died nearly forty years ago.  His son, Joseph 
F., was father of our subject.  He was born in Plumstead and 
was also a mason and a farmer.  In 1845 he came to 
Bedminster, living on the farm now owned by his son, Aaron 
F., until his death in 1883, when he was 71 years old.  He 
was a member and a trustee of the Second Deep Run Mennonite 
church, and had the confidence of his fellow-men.  His wife 
was Barbara, daughter of Abram Fretz, of this township.  She 
died in 1885, in her 72nd year.  Their children were:  
Susanna, Enos, Mahlon, Mary Ann, and an infant, deceased; 
and Henry F., in Tinicum; Aaron F., in this township; and 
Abraham F., who was born in Plumstead October 12, 1842.  In 
1872 he began for himself on the home farm, where he stayed 
until 1881, when he bought the farm near Hagersville, which 
has since been his home.  November 18, 1871, he was married 
to Susanna, daughter of John High, of Plumstead.  She was 
born in 1849, and died October 13, 1883.  She had three 
children: Anna Belle, who died in infancy; and Clara and 
Josephine, living with their father.  Mr. Myers bears an 
excellent reputation for probity and straightforward 
conduct.  Like all of his ancestors he is a Mennonite, and 
is a member of the Deep Run church.
