ABRAHAM O. MYERS dealer in stock, P.O. Dublin, is a grandson 
of John Myers, who was a school-teacher in Plumstead 
township for many years, and died there about twenty years 
ago.  His wife, Elizabeth, died many years before him.  
Their son, Samuel, was the father of Abraham O. He was born 
in Plumstead and learned the trade of a carpenter, which he 
followed until a short time before his death.  He also owned 
a farm there.  He was an upright man, of excellent 
reputation, and a member of the Old Deep Run Mennonite 
church.  He died October 29, 1882, aged 59 years.  His wife, 
Annie, was a daughter of Jacob Overholt, of Bedminster 
township.  She is now living in New Britain township with 
her daughter, Mary Ann.  Their children were:  Henry, 
Hannah, Annie, and an infant, deceased; and Mary Ann, wife 
of Isaac Johnson, living in New Britain township; Lizzie, 
wife of Watson Michener, in Plumstead township; and Abraham 
O., who was the fourth child, and was born in Plumstead June 
8, 1857.  He worked for his father until he was of age and 
then embarked in the business he is now following, dealing 
in horses, cattle, calves, poultry, and stock of all kinds.  
He first settled in Tinicum township, then went back to 
Plumstead, and from there removed to his present residence 
in this township.  February 17, 1879, he was married to 
Charlotte, daughter of William Buehrle.  She was born in 
Tinicum township.  They have three children:  Grace, Annie 
and William Henry.  Mr. Myers is a driving, energetic young 
man of good habits, and is bound to succeed.  He and his 
wife are both members of the Old Deep Run Mennonite church.
