MARY EDIE MEYERS

  Mrs. Mary Edie Meyers, widow of Attorney Dennis Meyers, died recently at the 
old Edie homestead in Somerset, following an illness of only a few days.  She 
was the only daughter of the late Colonel John R. and Mrs. Mary Kiernan Edie.  
Her father won distinction as an officer in the Union Army during the Civil War. 
After he had retired from the military service, Col. Edie resumed the practice 
of law in Somerset and was elected both as a member of Congress and District 
Attorney of Somerset County.
  Mrs. Meyers' husband, a brother of Miss Ida Meyers of Meyersdale, passed away 
in 1890.  Since her bereavement she made her home with her only son, Attorney 
Rufus Edie Meyers, who survives, along with a nephew, Major John R. Edie, 
U.S.A., of Washington, D.C., and a niece, Mrs. Julia O'Donnell, also of 
Washington, D.C.  Mrs. Meyers' only brother, Major John R. Edie, a graduate of 
West Point Military Academy, died many years ago.
  Mrs. Meyers was a woman of culture and refinement and her society was enjoyed 
by all who came in contact with her.
  Funeral services were conducted by Rev. Dr. I. Hess Wagner, pastor of Trinity 
Lutheran Church, Somerset.
