JACOB MYERS, son of Jacob Myers, Sr., of Warrington Township, was born December 
20, 1850, and is of German descent.  At the age of five years he lost his mother, 
when he went to live with his grandfather; at the age of nine he returned to his 
father, and at fourteen hired out to an uncle; two years later he returned to his 
grandfather, and remained with him until twenty-two years old, when, December 24, 
1872, he married Anna, daughter of John B. Grove, of Warrington Township.  He was 
employed in trucking with Mr. Cocklin a year, and then bought a tract of land 
near Mount Pleasant, where he is still engaged in trucking and raising berries.  
He has had born to him a family of five children – three boys and two girls – of 
whom one boy and two girls are living.
