GEORGE W. MEYERS

  George W. Meyers died at his home in Confluence, June 12, 1941.  He was born 
near Friendsville, Md., Dec. 23, 1868, a son of Elijah and Susan Meyers of 
Garrett County, Md., a pioneer family of Western Maryland.
  He was a blacksmith by trade.  He married Mary Thomas of Garrett County 
January 21, 1894.  To this union six children were born, Roy W. of Canton, Ohio, 
Elijah Ray of Paris, Ohio, Charles of Acosta, Pa., Mrs. Edna Younkin of 
Confluence and Mrs. Iva Kreger of Confluence, and one daughter deceased.  Ten 
grandchildren and the following brothers and sisters also survive: J. Stanley 
Meyers, Canton, Ohio; Walter G. Meyers, Oakland, Md.; Mrs. Mary E. Bowling, 
Minerva, Ohio, and Mrs. Hannah Loudermilk of Franzee Ridge.
  Funeral and burial was conducted at Asherglade Church, Garrett County, 
Maryland, on Sunday, June 15, Rev. J. O. Martin officiating.
  Mr. Meyers worked for J. B. Davis and Sons for many years until failing health 
prevented him.  He was a good husband and a kind father, loved and respected by 
all who knew him.  He loved his Saviour and Lord and died with implicit faith 
that some day he would go to the mansion on high that Jesus had prepared for his 
disciples.
