JACOB MEYERS

  Jacob Meyers died at his home in Pittsburgh on Tuesday, June 11.  He was born 
in Northampton Township, in 1877, a son of Jackson and Ellen (Purbaugh) Meyers, 
both deceased.  He spent the earlier years of his life in that vicinity, going 
to Pittsburgh about thirty years ago, when he entered the building and 
contracting business, which he followed until about a year ago, when ill health 
compelled him to retire.  He was serving in the capacity of president of the 
Hart Planing Mill Company at the time of his retirement.
  Surviving are his wife, Mrs. Mary (Deal) Meyers, and two daughters, Ethel and 
Virginia, both at home; also one brother, H. T. Meyers, of Glencoe, and five 
sisters, Mrs. Virginia Rodeniser of Glencoe; Mrs. C. A. Purbaugh of 
Connellsville; Mrs. Emma Gray of Detroit, Michigan; Mrs. Frank Kidwell of New 
York City and Mrs. Harry Love, of Cleveland, Ohio.
  Funeral services will be conducted in the Mt. Lebanon Evangelical and Reformed 
Church near Glencoe at 2 p.m. on Friday, June 14, by the pastor, Rev. J. E. 
Gindlesperger.  Interment will be made in the Mt. Lebanon Cemetery.
