Based on the Generations presented by the Myers Association in 1955.   Maybe not as Josiah appears to possibly to be the son of Josiah b 1717). Several of the old family references cite Josiah born 1717 in Holland. Their appears that to be a Josiah born 1717 and another Josiah born 1757. From what I have seen appears as if the two people have been combined as one in the 1955 publishings.

I do not have adequate proofs but appears that Moses Myers of Austorlitz, New York is a brother to Josiah Myers.

The pension application of Lydia Mudge Myers Granger is supported by Moses Myers who was born June 14, 1759 in Old Stockbridge, Berkshire County Massachusetts and lived in Canaan, Columbia Co., New York who was present at the wedding of Lydia and Josiah and served the same times and in the same units as Josiah. From Moses Myers's pension record it would be that Josiah born in 1757 is his brother and possibly the Josiah born in Holland in 1717 might be the father. After the Myers Association publishings of 1955 there appears to have been no further research and no later references are seen for Josiah born 1717 Holland.

In the documentation on Josiah Myers born 1757 there is no mention of his service in Connecticut as a corporal in Capt. Joel Dickinson's company, Col. Samuel Elmore's Connecticut regiment which is cited in DAR records. Could his be his father or another Josiah Myers?

Pg. 449-  under the Township of Bloomingdale.

the first township meeting,  there were 17 votes.  officers elected- Mallory H.
Myers as Supervisor.  Mallory H. Myers as a highway commissioner. William H.
H. Myers as school inspector and as justice of the peace.  (Harviland Thayer
was elected as an assessor)

FIRST SETTLEMENTS AND SETTLERS.

During the bleak, cold days of December, 1837, the first settlement was made
within the limits of this township by  the four Myers brothers- Mallory H.,
William H. H., Reuben J, and Merlin M., accompanied by their mother and
sister, Sarah O. and Ruth Ann Myers.  These first settlers of the township were
from Oneida county, New York.  In the spring of 1836 two of the brothers,
Mallory and William H. H.. started out on foot and walked the entire distance
from Genesee county, New York, via Canada, to Michigan.   For six months
Mallory worked in Monroe County and William at White Pigeon. The latter then
returned to New York and brought the rest of the family to White Pigeon where
they were all reunited.  The next year they decided to locate permanently on
section  thirty-six, the extreme southeastern corner of the township of
Bloomingdale.  They procured the services of Ashbel Herron to bring them to
their new location, with his ox team, arriving at their future home on the 22nd day
of December, 1837, no other shelter awaited them than that afforded by the tall
monarchs of the forest.  The frozen earth, after the snow had been melted away by 
a roaring fire, afforded them a resting place the first night.  The next day a rude
cabin was built, which was soon after followed by a substantial log house, and
thus was commenced the first settlement of this township, now one of the best in
the entire county of Van Buren.

During the next year the first schoolhouse was erected, William H. H. Myers
becoming the first teacher in 1838 and 1839.

During the year of 1838 Ashbel Herron, a native of Cayuga county, New York, 
and Daniel G Robinson from Ohio, settled near the Myers location, and Joseph
Peck, from Monroe county, New York. located on section six, in the extreme
northwestern corner of the township.  This locality was known for years as
"Pecktown" The first marriage celebrated in the township was that of James Scott
of Decatur and Ruth Ann Myers.  Mr. Howard states that this marriage was
solemnized by Elder Warner, but in this he must have been in error as the official
record states that the wedding took place on the 11 th day of April, 1839, and that
the party officiating was Ashbel Herron, Esq.

The Myers Family

Settlements were made within the present boundaries of Waverly at about the
time the county of Van Buren was organized.  In the fall of 1836 four brothers,
Mallory H., Merlin M., Reuben J. and William H. H. Myers, with their mother
and two sisters, came from Genesee county, New York, to White Pigeon,
Michigan.  The next spring three of the brothers came to Van Buren county on a
prospecting tour.  They found lands in the township of Clinch that suited them
and determined to make  that their future home.  Reuben selected a tract on
section two in the present township of Waverly, while the other brothers located
north of him in what subsequently became the township of Bloomingdale. The
entire family came on from White Pigeon and for a time lived together in a cabin 
erected by Mallory on his new location..  Reuben immediately began clearing up
his place, and in 1838 built a substantial log house and moved into it with Ruth
Ann, one of his sisters, as his house keeper.   This arrangement, however was
short lived, for Miss Myers, in 1839, married James Scott, a "shingle weaver"
who had been employed in the vicinity.  This marriage, which was solemnized by
Asbel Herron, a justice of the peace, was the first marriage of a resident of the
township, and in this case, only the bride lived in Waverly, the groom being a
resident of Decatur.  While Rueben and his sister were living together, they were
the only white persons in the township, when Miss Myers became Mrs. Scott and
removed into another locality, Reuben was left solitary and alone, although he
had neighbors in the adjoining townships of Alemna and Bloomingdale, both
being at that time part of the township of Clinch.   Soon afterward, Merlin Myers 
changed his residence from Bloomingdale to Waverly.  He located on section one,
not far from Reuben, where he lived until 1857, when he moved to Illinois. 
Rueben remained a inhabitant of Waverly until his death, which occurred
November 14, 1890, in his seventy- second year.

Another of the early settlers was William Murch, a young man who came from
the Empire state.  He made an entry on section two in 1839, but did not become a
resident of Waverly until the following year, when he married Miss Sarah, the
other of the Myers sisters.  This was the first wedding in which the contracting
parties were both numbered among the pioneers of the township.  It took place at
the residence of Mallory H. Myers in the adjoining township of Bloomingdale
(although it was called Clinch at the time) and Elder Junia Warner was the
officiating clergyman.

The Sentinal
South Haven, Michigan
May 3, 1884:

    One of the most heart-rending scenes ever presented to the people of this
county was enacted at the county farm at two o'clock Wednesday morning.  At
that hour by one of the inmates the county house was discovered to be on fire and
in less than an hour it was a mass of smoldering ruins with the bodies of fourteen
of our pauper poor engulfed within.  From the location of the flames at first it is
surmised that an inveterate smoker, Josiah Myers, had arisen from his bed to
enjoy an hour with his pipe and from his thoughtlessness the building took fire. 
The total loss is estimated at $12,000, on which there was an insurance of $5,300. 
Superintendent Cash and family barely escaped with their lives so rapid were the
flames.  The building contained thirty five paupers and Superintendents W. W.
Hodge and Sam Holmes were thus left with twenty one entirely destitute people
with not so much as a shingle to cover them.  Their especial fitness for their
positions is evidenced in the fact that arrangements were at once made for the care
of their charges in the cultural society building at Lawrence and they we already
more comfortable than many anticipated they could be.  The dispatch announcing
the fire was delivered to Will Hodge about half past nine.  He immediately
harnessed his Ned Allen trotter and before noon was on the farm attending to the
wants of the needy, Mr. Holmes having already arrived by train from Paw Paw.  A
list of the dead are:

Henry Baker, liked by everybody and a county charge since before the present
farm was purchased.

Benjamin Bogardus, aged 46, from Breedsville
Elizabeth Curtis, an insane woman.
Fred Eckenburger from Decatur, aged 19.
Peter Golden of Keeler.
Deborah (Debby) Gravatt, of Waverly, aged over 70, was seen trying to
   get to the room of Caroline Shearer to assist her out, otherwise would
    have undoubtedly have escaped.
James Johnson, an Old sailor 88 years of age from Covert.
Caroline Long, aged 40 from Covert
Josiah Myers of Geneva, 83 years of age and supposed to have been the
unwitting cause of the fire.  Father of H. J. Myers and Mrs. S. Hosner of Geneva,
Mrs. Charles Thayer of Bloomingdale and Mrs. Milo Baker of Watervliet.  The
old gentleman was addicted to an excessive use of opium and tobacco and if not
watched would smoke his pipe while lying in bed.  His children humored his
wishes and provided some comfort for him during his life there.
Benjamin Reynolds of Columbia, aged 46.
Caroline Shearer from Covert, aged 35, as sister of Henry Shearer of this
village, one of the kindest and best natured person ever on the farm as an inmate,
being very faithful in all instance.
Jonathon Sargent, of Waverly, over 70 years old.
Thomas Sawyer, an insane colored man recently from Kalamazoo asylum, being
cared for here to make room in the asylum for one of our insane.
Mrs. Lovina Williams and her eight year old daughter from Bangor, two of her
little boys escaping.  The husband and father is now in the State house of
Corrections for ill treating the wife and children.  Supt. Hodge had arranged to
send the little ones next week to the State School at Coldwater.
    Thirteen of the fourteen paupers were burned beyond recognition.  Their
remains were gathered in one coffin and buried on the county grounds.  The board
of supervisors have been notified to assemble and will undoubtedly at once take
step to provide further for the Necessities of those still living.  Sheriff Van Auken
was prompt with his duties and is one of the best fitted men for an official that
there is in the county.

Obituary
    Harriet Myers was born in New York, April 13, 1838.  When she was
eight years of age her mother passed away and a few years later the family moved
to Michigan and settled in Bloomingdale Township, where some of them have
since lived.  She was married May 20, 1859 to Milo Baker of Antwerp.  To this
union ten children were born, nine girls and one boy, all of whom are living.
    In 1864, Mr. Baker and family, in company with Sylvester Hosner, moved
to Geneva and cut down the trees which made their first house.  About 1878 the
family moved to Watervliet township in Berrien Co., where they lived until the
spring of 1887, when they moved back to their present home.  Mrs. Baker's death
occurred Sunday evening, Sept. 13, being the first death in Mr. Baker's family
after an illness of one week.
    To know Mrs. Baker was to respect her, and in her death a large number of
neighbors have lost a friend.  She leaves to remember her an aged husband, ten
children, one brother and one sister, twenty grandchildren and one great grand

Thank you Don for your quick answers and helpful hints. Right this minute, I
can not lay my hands on the booklet Keeler typed up, but I will look into
your question about Milo Bakers line and see if I have any information.

Just a tidbit  for you to look at:

Stevens Point Weekly Journal, August 16, 1884

      In the death of Jacob L. Myers, which occurred at his home in the town of Buena Vista on Wednesday, Portage County loses another of its study pioneers. In conversation with one of his neighbors, we learn that he went out into the field for a short time to bind, and not long afterwards was found lying on the ground dead, with a bundle of grain across his face, and a band in his hand. It is not known whether he died of apoplexy or sun stroke. The funeral was held from the M. E. Church at Liberty Corners on Friday.
      The deceased moved here from Illinois about May, 1847, and for a time lived at De Bay's place, up the river, afterwards removing to Plover, where he lived several years. When the Indian lands came into market, he took up a homestead on Buena Vista creek, where he lived until his death. In 1860 or 1861 he was engaged in the staging business, and operated three lines—one from here to Portage, one to Berlin, and one to Gill's landing, and worked 100 horses. He was a man of great energy and push and was well liked among the pinery boys in those early days when a good team the fastest locomotion, and no one knew hoe to pick them out better than "Uncle Jake."       The deceased, who was in his 74th year, leaves a wife and four sons to mourn his loss.

Stevens Point Weekly Journal, August 30, 1884

      The subject of this sketch, J. L. Myers, was born in 1811 in Onida Co. New York. At the age of twenty-one he was married to Miss M. W. Underhill of the same place and on August 23 1832, moved to Rochester, Wis. Was proprietor of a hotel a while. He had four sons by his first wife who died in 1843.  He then married Miss Mary T. Thompson and moved to Plover, Wis., February 22, 1845. By this wife he had six sons and one daughter.  In 1846 commenced staging, ran three lines, one from Stevens Point to Portage one to Berlin, one in Gills Landing. In 1859 he gave up staging. In 1860 his second wife died, 1863 he married for his third wife Eliza Palmer, was living with her at the time of his death which occurred Aug 12, 1884.       He was in usual health, ate a hearty dinner, went out about 2 o'clock to bind a few bundles of oats for his horses, bound 18 bundles, was found at quarter past two, lying on his back with a unbound bundle lying over his face by his son Charles who was driving by with a harvester within twenty rods of his house. His funeral was held Aug. 15, at the M. E. Church at Liberty Corners, the Rev. C. E. Smith preached from 2d Corinthians 4, 17, 18th, the Rev. F. Huntley officiating at the house. Many people followed him to his interment, which was the cemetery at Liberty Corners. His death coming so sudden was very sad for his wife and children. They are deserving the kindness and sympathy of friends and neighbors.

Stevens Point Gazette, December 19, 1888:

      One of the most deplorable of accidents, and accompanied by the greatest loss of life of any ever witnessed in this city, occurred at the Water Works stand-pipe at about ten o'clock on Friday forenoon last. At that hour ten men, Chas. Myers, Albert S. Albus, Harry Sills, John Ellsworth, Edward Lawrence, John Rose, John Smith, Frank Davitt. Wm. Cooney and Thos. Sugan, were at work upon a staging or scaffolding, on the inside of the pipe, 80 and 85 feet respectively above the stone foundation. The stand-pipe is made in sections of five feet each, and the finishing touches upon the eighteenth section, ninety feet from the ground were being made by Lawrence, while the other men mentioned above were engaged in making an addition of ten feet to the scaffolding. Some of them were standing upon saw-horses, across which planks were laid, five feet above the others, and all were holding or nailing the standards, cross pieces, etc., that went to make up the elevation. Suddenly and without the slightest warning, one side of the scaffolding gave way with a terrible crash, and down went five men, four of them to meet death in their descent or when they reached the stone floor beneath, while the fifth received frightful injuries, but escaped death by falling on top of the more unfortunate companions. His name is Edward Lawrence. Others engaged about the works were Lyman Rowe, Frank Shea, John Murphy, Fred. Higgins and Wm. Cules, besides the foreman, Jas. S. N. Dean. Cules was unwell in the morning and had gone home, and Mr. Dean was in he bottom of the shaft, engaged about some work. Hearing the noise above him and instantly comprehending what had happened, Dean plunged through the manhole, but not a moment too soon, tearing a part of his coat in shreds, and barely escaping with his life. The others were engaged on the outside.

      John Rowe, Cooney, Davitt, Sugan and Smith, who were at the top of the scaffolding, had most narrow escapes, none more so than Smith, who was standing or kneeling almost upon the part that fell, engaged in nailing a studding, and saved his life by a rapid retreat to the side that remained firm. Rowe jumped to the rim of the pipe, and reaching down caught Cooney just in time, no doubt, to save him. These young men then descended to the ground on the outside ladder, and the work of carrying out the dead and injured was commenced by all present. Lawrence was found in an unconscious state, but revived somewhat on being carried out in the air, and was afterwards removed to his boarding house at John Corrion's where he is doing well at present, with every prospect for complete recovery. He received a terrible gash on the forehead, his neck and jaws were also injured, but none of the bones in his body were broken. How he escaped so fortunately, after falling eighty feet, in indeed the wonder of all. Nearly every physician in the city was present within a few minutes after the accident and rendered all possible aid. The other four men, Albus, Myers, Sills and Ellsworth, were dead when they were taken out, death no doubt being instantaneous, as all their necks were broken. Ellsworth was terribly mangled otherwise, his left leg being broken in two places, the hand being crushed, as well as the side and top of his head. Two forges each weighting about two hundred pounds, had fallen with the scaffolding, and the leg of one of these had passed through his side. Sills' face and head were also badly cut, but the visible marks upon the other were slight.

      Soon after the accident the bodies of the four men were removed to Grant's undertaking rooms, on Brown street, where as rapidly as possible all were prepared for burial by C. H. Grant and some assistants. In the afternoon the body of Chas. Myers was taken to his home on Brown street, the home now made desolate by his untimely death, and on Sunday forenoon it was taken to the town of Buena Vista for burial. The body of Harry Sills was taken to Oasis, Waushara County, on Saturday afternoon and buried the following afternoon, and the body of Albert Albus was embalmed and forwarded by express to his home at Phillipsburg, N.J., as per request of his parents. Where the parents or relatives of poor John Ellsworth reside, no one seems to know, and his remains were quietly laid to rest in the Episcopal cemetery on Monday afternoon, Rev. Walter R. Frame officiating, and were followed to their last resting place by his sorrowing companions and a few acquaintances. The home of Edward Lawrence is at Rockford, Ill, and he has sisters, now here caring for his wants.
      As before stated, the accident was the most terrible of any that every happened in this city, but the true cause of it is not definitely known. Some of the workmen and others believe that it was a plank upon and over which the men were standing that gave away, while others are of the opinion that a standard was pulled out of place in the work, but that the construction was or became "faulty," as stated by the jury is none the less true.
      At noon on Friday a coroner's jury consisting of M. T. Olin, I. M. Moss, Peter Walling, Chas. Packard, E. M. Copps and A. O. Packard, were summoned together by District Attorney Lamoreux before Justice of the Peace Eaton, who after viewing the remains and visiting the place where the accident occurred adjourned to meet at the court house at 9 o'clock on Saturday morning, when testimony was taken, the following of which is a brief synopsis. J. O. Baymond was present as attorney for the stand-pipe contractors and D. Lloyd Jones to represent the Water Works Company.

      Jas. S. Dean, foreman in the construction of the standpipe was the first witness sworn,. He stated that his home is a Phillipsburg, N. J., and that he had been here since Oct. 16th last. That the firm he represents is doing the work by contract with the Water Works Co. Gave names of men killed and injured. Albus came here with me, Ellsworth went to work Nov. 3d, Sills had been at work about two weeks and Meyer was hired the previous afternoon. They were engaged in erecting a scaffold at the time of the accident, which was in charge of Albert Albus. Have had 4-1/2 years experience in erecting scaffold, and have had charge since Sept. 1887. This was the first trouble I had on this pipe. The first intimation of the accident, something struck me on the back; I thought it was coal and looking up every thing was black; I had a pretty clear realization of what was coming and jumped through the manhole. All was then still. I soon climbed the ladder, and saw the bodies lying at the bottom, and helped to take them out. The cause of accident, in my opinion, was that the men misplaced one of the posts in erecting the scaffold, and that it was improperly nailed. This work was in my charge, and Albus had charge when I was not present. The best quality of timber and plank was used. One 4x4 post gave way and a two inch plank, one-sixth of the staging. Gave a description of manner of construction and material used.
      Dr. Rood sworn, testified that four of the men were dead when he arrived at place of accident, and no further examination of bodies were made except as to ascertain that men were dead.
      Frank Shea testified to being employed on the standpipe, a part of the time in the carriage at the top. I was own below at the time of the accident, on the outside. My first knowledge of the accident was in hearing coal and plank falling. I was hired by Albert Albus and paid by Mr. Dean.
      John Rose stated that he was employed by Mr. Dean to work on the inside in striking rivets. Was on the scaffold at the time of the accident, and save myself by reaching up and catching top of the pipe. First knowledge was in hearing a crash of a horse on which Meyers was standing. Heard no talk at anytime about the safety of the staging.
      Thos. Sugan statee that he had been employed twenty months erecting standpipes for Tibbitt & Woods. Was employed heating rivets. Was near the middle of the scaffold at the time of the accident, and I jumped to the top of the sheet. Think Meyers and Albus were on top of trusses at time of crash. Considered staging perfectly safe, judging from other staging I have seen.
      John R. Smith, also a resident of Phillipsburg, has been employed at the same kind of work for about fourteen months. Was nailing a post on staging at time of accident, and Meyers was holding the same, five feet above. Do not know what caused the accident. Retreated when I heard crash and saved myself. Considered this scaffolding perfectly safe. Have seen one inch boards where we used two inch plank here, but it was a different kind of scaffold.
      Frank Davitt, also of Phillipsburg, N. J. Have been at work as rivet heater and corker for about three years. Was toe-nailing bottom of posts at the time of the accident. The truss dropped to the solid scaffold. First I knew of accident saw men falling, and I was on opposite side. Everything appeared to be firm and solid.
      Wm. Cooney is from the same town in New Jersey, and had been employed by Tibbitt & Wood for about five years. Have assisted in putting up thirteen or fourteen standpipes. This was the first staging of the kind that I had been on. Heard noise and started to run, and as the trusses gave way, I sent down, going as far as the solid part of the scaffold.
      Lyman Rowe, of this city, was engaged in hoisting scaffolding on Friday morning, and had sent up some planks ten or fifteen minutes before the accident.
      Harry DeB. Parsons, engineer for the Water Works Co.: Have had five years experience as consulting engineer, previous to which I studied for six years, attending two different colleges. Had examined the scaffold every two or four days and considered it perfectly safe, and also the material used. That scaffold had ought to carry from six and one-half to seven tons, and a two inch plank, twelve inches wide, should hold about one thousand pounds at the center. Mr. Parsons stated the relations of the standpipe contractors to the water works company, and that the latter had nothing to do with the erection of the pipe.
      After listening to the testimony, the jury rendered their verdict, the substance of which is as follows:
      Came to their death from a fall from near the top of the stand-pipe, a distance of about eighty feet, to the stone foundation below, at the city of Stevens Point, Wis., on the 14th day of December, 1888, and that said fall was caused by the scaffolding or staging giving away. And we further give and find it is our opinion that said staging or scaffolding was faulty in construction for the purposes used and intended.

      After a long illness with that fatal disease, consumption, Mrs. Cora Featherly, wife of Frank Featherly, died at her home in this city at half-past seven o'clock last Monday evening. She had been in poor health for four or five years, and especially during the past nine months had she been ill, being confined to her bed continually, with a single exception, since last September. For a week or more before death she suffered greatly, but the final summons came peacefully and quietly. The deceased lady, whose maiden name was Cora Myers, was born in the town of Plover, Sept. 26th, 1864, and was therefore in the 27th year of her age. She was married in this city to Frank Featherly, June 24th, 1885, and had resided here ever since. Besides her husband and one little son, six years of age, she leaves a father and mother, Mr. and Mrs. Theodore Myers, and one brother, George, all residents of the town of Lanark. Those with her at the time of death were Mrs. Turman Rice, of McDill, and Mrs. Chas. Grimm, of Plover, both aunts of the deceased. The funeral took place at 10 o'clock this forenoon, with interment in the Episcopal cemetery, Rev. W. Millar officiating, and the remains were laid beside two children of the deceased who had gone before. In their deep affliction the husband and ralatives have the sympathy of many friends. The pall bearers were Geo. Gerhardt, Samuel Collings, Edson Sawyer, Jas. Kerr, A. F. Behrendt and Wm. West.

Stevens Point Daily Journal, Tuesday, April 24, 1900:

      Albert Myers was killed in the planing mill of John Week Lumber Co. at 3:50 Tuesday afternoon.
      Mr. Myers was engaged in taking down a shaft in the mill and is supposed to have been standing or sitting on a timber that supported a shaft and pulley weighing about 800 or 1,000 pounds. He is supposed to have been loosening the nut on a bolt that held up the timber and the shaft and that he twisted the nut and end of the bolt off, permitting the timber on which he rested to fall. He fell to the floor some twelve feet below, and the shaft followed tipping up endwise. It struck the floor and rebounded again a couple of feet and in some way it is supposed to have came down partly upon the unfortunate man's head and crushed his skull quite badly. He never moved.
      The only persons near were Frank Taylor and Ole. Christianson. They were only a few feet away but it happened so suddenly that they scarcely know anything about it. When they heard the crash of falling timbers they looked around bit it was all over. Dr. South wick was called but could do nothing more than examine his wounds. The body was taken to Boston's undertaking room.
      Mr. Myers was about 44 years old and lived with his wife and stepdaughters, Edith and Ora, at 239 Wood street.
      Mrs. Myers was not a home at the time of the accident having gone down to Plover that morning to remain a few days. He was a brother of Lon and Henry Myers of this city and a half brother of Selvin and Theodore Myers who live down in the country.
      A Jury was summoned by the coroner and after viewing the remains at Boston's adjourned until Wednesday morning at 9 o'clock.       The jury is composed of Robert Maine, F. Abb, H. Reading, E. D. Glennon, Wm. McCarr and M. Flifford.

Stevens Point Daily Journal, Wednesday, April 25, 1900:

      The Coroner's jury in the case of Albert Myers, who was killed Tuesday afternoon in the Week planing, took testimony in the court house at 9 o'clock Wednesday, coroner Boston president.
      Dr. F. A. Southwich was the first witness sworn. He said he was called to the mill at 8:50 Wednesday afternoon and found Albert Myers lying dead on the floor. He examined his head and found his skull crushed as if by some very heavy object, the injuries being such as to cause death.
      Stanley Young, bookkeeper for the Coye Furniture Co., said that the foreman o the planing mill came into his office to telephone for the doctor and he accompanied him back to the mill. He found Myers on his back with blood collecting in his mouth. He turned him over to permit the blood to flow freely. The injured man made no sound, not even as of labored breathing. There was no timber or shafting on hi. He was well acquainted with Myers, who was apparently a strong healthy man.
      Frank Taylor, foreman in the mill for the past three years, said the crew was engaged in moving the machinery out of the old mill preparatory to placing it in the new mill on the north side. Myers was engaged in removing a shaft 85 feet long and three inches in diameter which hung 12 feet from the floor. All had been taken down but the last two section of 11 feet each. Myers was engaged in loosening the bolts that held the shaft in place and when the witness last noticed him he was sitting astride the bridge tree. He explained that there were two heavy timbers about eight feet apart running the length of the mill, on either side of the shaft and that at frequent intervals these timbers were connected with another timber at right angles to them. These were bolted to the under side of the two long timbers and are called bridge trees. On top of these timbers at their center were attached the boxings in which the long shaft revolved. He was about 16 feet from Myers when he heard the crash. He looked around and saw the end of the shaft not far from Myer's head. Nothing fell to the floor but Myers and the shafting. The bridge tree loosened only at one end and the bolts at the other end held the timber so that it did not fall to the floor but remained hanging in the air by one end. The body looked to him as if the man had struck on his face first. At tech end of the shaft as a disk shaped coupling nine inches in diameters.
      Louis Gickling, an employee in the mill for the past twelve years was helping to take down the shafting. He was about 16 feet from Myers when he heard the crash. He saw Myers strike the floor head first, but did not see anything strike him, and thought he would have noticed the shaft if it did strike him.
      Ole Christianson, another employee about the mill, was loading timber outside, but in view of the accident. He heard the carat and saw Myers lying face down. There was nothing on top of him.
      A. R. Week, secretary and treasurer of the John Week Lumber company, was called, but could add nothing to what had been given.
      The general impression was, however, that that shaft in some manner caused the man's death. The north end fell first, and the flange or disk coupling made a deep indentation in the floor when it first struck, and another tow feet further north and nearer where Myer's body lay. This shows that there was a tremendous rebound, as the shaft weighting from 800 to 1,000 pounds. After striking the second time the south end of the shaft had reached such a position that it no longer rested against the bridge tree that held that end and it fell to the floor, and no doubt the shaft rolled out of its original position to a considerable extent before anybody noticed it, owning to the fact that a thirty-six inch wheel or pulley was fastened to the shaft near the middle, but slightly toward the south end. Myers own fall count not have produced the injuries he received.
      As to the cause of the accident there is not certainty, but still little doubt. Myers was undoubtedly loosening the nut on the bolt that held up the east end of the bridge tree. The end of the bolt was afterwards found by N. A. Week on the floor of the mill, with the thread of the bolt still unmoved in the nut. The fresh fracture in the bolt showed it to have book made with a twisting motion.
      The jury returned a verdict of accidental death, stating that they believed "the said Albert Myers was killed by being struck on the head with a shaft and coupling."
      The funeral will be held from the Episcopal church at 2 o'clock Friday afternoon, Rev. R. H. Weller officiating.
      The deceased was a member of Eureka Camp No. 1448, of the Modern Woodmen and a special meeting will be held tonight to arrange for the funeral.

Stevens Point Daily Journal, Friday, April 27, 1900:

      The funeral of Albert Myers was held from the Episcopal church this afternoon at 2 o'clock. Rev. R. H. Weller officiating.
      The service at the house and grave were conducted by the Woodmen, of which the deceased was a members, Harvey Halverson acting as master of ceremonies and J. W. Strope as captain. About 73 of the Woodmen marched to the grave. Many of the Royal Neighbors also attended.

      Mrs. Myers was not a home at the time of the accident having gone down to Plover that morning to remain a few days. He was a brother of Lon and Henry Myers of this city and a half brother of Selvin and Theodore Myers who live down in the country.
      A Jury was summoned by the coroner and after viewing the remains at Boston's adjourned until Wednesday morning at 9 o'clock.
      The jury is composed of Robert Maine, F. Abb, H. Reading, E. D. Glennon, Wm. McCarr and M. Flifford.

      The Coroner's jury in the case of Albert Myers, who was killed Tuesday afternoon in the Week planing, took testimony in the court house at 9 o'clock Wednesday, coroner Boston president.
      Dr. F. A. Southwich was the first witness sworn. He said he was called to the mill at 8:50 Wednesday afternoon and found Albert Myers lying dead on the floor. He examined his head and found his skull crushed as if by some very heavy object, the injuries being such as to cause death.
      Stanley Young, bookkeeper for the Coye Furniture Co., said that the foreman o the planing mill came into his office to telephone for the doctor and he accompanied him back to the mill. He found Myers on his back with blood collecting in his mouth. He turned him over to permit the blood to flow freely. The injured man made no sound, not even as of labored breathing. There was no timber or shafting on hi. He was well acquainted with Myers, who was apparently a strong healthy man.
      Frank Taylor, foreman in the mill for the past three years, said the crew was engaged in moving the machinery out of the old mill preparatory to placing it in the new mill on the north side. Myers was engaged in removing a shaft 85 feet long and three inches in diameter which hung 12 feet from the floor. All had been taken down but the last two section of 11 feet each. Myers was engaged in loosening the bolts that held the shaft in place and when the witness last noticed him he was sitting astride the bridge tree. He explained that there were two heavy timbers about eight feet apart running the length of the mill, on either side of the shaft and that at frequent intervals these timbers were connected with another timber at right angles to them. These were bolted to the under side of the two long timbers and are called bridge trees. On top of these timbers at their center were attached the boxings in which the long shaft revolved. He was about 16 feet from Myers when he heard the crash. He looked around and saw the end of the shaft not far from Myer's head. Nothing fell to the floor but Myers and the shafting. The bridge tree loosened only at one end and the bolts at the other end held the timber so that it did not fall to the floor but remained hanging in the air by one end. The body looked to him as if the man had struck on his face first. At tech end of the shaft as a disk shaped coupling nine inches in diameters.
      Louis Gickling, an employee in the mill for the past twelve years was helping to take down the shafting. He was about 16 feet from Myers when he heard the crash. He saw Myers strike the floor head first, but did not see anything strike him, and thought he would have noticed the shaft if it did strike him.
      Ole Christianson, another employee about the mill, was loading timber outside, but in view of the accident. He heard the carat and saw Myers lying face down. There was nothing on top of him.
      A. R. Week, secretary and treasurer of the John Week Lumber company, was called, but could add nothing to what had been given.
      The general impression was, however, that that shaft in some manner caused the man's death. The north end fell first, and the flange or disk coupling made a deep indentation in the floor when it first struck, and another tow feet further north and nearer where Myer's body lay. This shows that there was a tremendous rebound, as the shaft weighting from 800 to 1,000 pounds. After striking the second time the south end of the shaft had reached such a position that it no longer rested against the bridge tree that held that end and it fell to the floor, and no doubt the shaft rolled out of its original position to a considerable extent before anybody noticed it, owning to the fact that a thirty-six inch wheel or pulley was fastened to the shaft near the middle, but slightly toward the south end. Myers own fall count not have produced the injuries he received.
      As to the cause of the accident there is not certainty, but still little doubt. Myers was undoubtedly loosening the nut on the bolt that held up the east end of the bridge tree. The end of the bolt was afterwards found by N. A. Week on the floor of the mill, with the thread of the bolt still unmoved in the nut. The fresh fracture in the bolt showed it to have book made with a twisting motion.
      The jury returned a verdict of accidental death, stating that they believed "the said Albert Myers was killed by being struck on the head with a shaft and coupling."

      The death of C. C. Myers, which occurred at his home, in the town of Buena Vista at 5:30 o'clock last Tuesday morning, marked the passing of another of the early settlers of Portage County, Mr. Myers had been in declining health since last fall. While at work on the farm one of his legs was quite severely injured Blood poisoning followed, and although after several weeks, he apparently recovered from this, he never fully regained his health and strength. However, he had been confined to his bed only since the Friday night preceding his death.
      Mrs. Myers was born in Rochester N.Y. June 10, 1835. In 1847 his father, Jacob Myers came to this country settling in Plover, and this had been the home of deceased ever since, and for more than fifty years he lived on the farm where he died. Fifty-one years ago, at Plover, he was married to Miss Melissa Young. The latter died in 1902, and he is survived by two sons, one daughter, and thirteen grandchildren. Also by one brother, Theodore Myers of Amherst, and two half brothers, Alonzo and Henry Myers of this city. The surviving children are Edwin A. Myers and Mrs. George Newby of Buena Vista, and William A. Myers of Racine. Miss Nettie Brown has been a member of his family for the past thirteen years.
      Before taking up farming as a steady occupation, C. C., or "Cell," as he was known by his older friends, and his brother, Theodore, drove stage for their father, Jacob Myers, for about six years. In an early day the latter had the contract for carrying the mail from Stevens Point to Green Bay and Fond du Lac. Mail at that time was carried to and from Green Bay on foot, the man who transported it carrying the mail sack on his back. At the same time the trips to and from Fond du Lac were made in a one hose rig. A few years later Mr. Myers, sr., was one of the best known stage owners in the state. Wausau, Mosinee, Stevens Point, Bills Landing, Berlin, Portage, Kilbourn and Baraboo, were some of the places reached by his various lines. It was on some of these routes that C. C. and Theodore had their experiences as stage Drivers.

      The funeral will be held from the house Thursday afternoon at 2 o'clock. The services will be conduct by Rev. Robert of Almond, interment following in the Buena Vista Cemetery.

Stevens Point Gazette, April 26, 1911:

C. C. Myers of Buena Vista passed away at his farm home in the town of Buena Vista at 5:30 o'clock Tuesday morning, death being due to a general breaking down. During the winter he was laid up some time with blood poisoning in one of his lower limbs, caused by a slight scratch, but there after apparently recovered and was able to be about and visited the city about two weeks ago. Last Friday he was taken to his bed and rapidly failed to the end.       Calvin C. Myers was born at Rochester, N.Y., June 10, 1835, and was nearly 76 years of age. His parents, Mrs. and Mrs. Jacob Myers, came west in the early 40s, first locating in Walworth county, this state, but soon thereafter moved to Belvidere, Ill., where they lived two or three years and then traveled by team to Plover, this county. This was in 1847. The father was the owner of the first stage lines to traverse this section, at one time owning over 200 horses, and his son, Theo. Myers, now a resident of Amherst, drove the first stage that entered Stevens Point. "Cell," as he was familiarly called, also drove stage for several years between this city and Fond du Lac, until their line was bought by other parties. He then made one trip down the river on lumber, then engaged in the grocery and supply business at Plover and when the Indian lands were opened to settlers, he took up a claim in Buena Vista, the place where he passed away yesterday morning, fifteen miles south of this city.
      Mr. Myers was universally respected, being a man of strict integrity and thorough honesty, and the taking away of this worthy and study pioneers will be learned with regret by all. His wife died 8 years ago last November and he is survived by one daughter, Mrs. Geo. Newby of Buena Vista, and two sons Edwin A. of Buena Vista, and Wm. A. of Racine, besides one brother, Theo., of Amherst and two half brothers, Henry and Alonzo Myers of this city, and 13 grandchildren. Miss Nettie Brown, who had been a member of the household for the past 18 years remained his housekeeper after the death of Mrs. Myers.

MYERS - On Sunday, February 24, 1878 a young married woman named MARGARET MYERS (formerly Miss McGraw) died at the residence of her aunt, Mrs. Fahy, on John St., from the effects of poison which she had taken.       She had come to her aunt's house on Saturday afternoon, and, with the remark that that was as good a place to die as any, had lain down on a bed from which she never rose again. She soon sank into a heavy sleep, which continued until the next morning, when her friends became alarmed and sent for Dr. Evans, who found her insensible at 10 o'clock and apparently suffering from the effects of poison. Drs. Lawton and Sutton were also called, but their united efforts proved unavailing. At first she rallied and it was thought she might live, but she afterward sank away and died about four o'clock P.M. Her friends state, as a reason for not earlier calling in medical aid, that they supposed her to be intoxicated, and it was not till morning that they became alarmed. The deceased was only 17 years old, and had already passed nearly two years of unhappy married life, her husband neglecting to provide for her. It is said that she had become discouraged and doubtless committed suicide because she had not resolution to bear up under her troubles. A post mortem examination by Drs. Evans and Sutton revealed traces of morphine. (Rome Citizen, Mar 1, 1878)

Biographical Sketch of John Henry Myers

Source: Leading Citizens of Clinton and Essex Counties, New York. Boston Biographical Review Publishing Company, 1896. Pages 182-183

John Henry Myers, a native resident of Plattsburg, N.Y., is President of the Iron National Bank of this village and a member of the firm of M.P. Myers & Co., hardware merchants. He was born on August 15, 1834, son of Lawrence and Maria D. Myers. Mr. Myer's paternal grandfather, Joseph Myers, whose father came from Holland, was born in New Jersey. Just prior to the commencement of the Revolutionary struggle he removed to Herkimer, Herkimer County, N.Y., and there spent his remaining days.

Lawrence Myers was born during the residence of his parents in Herkimer. In early manhood he located in Whitehall, engaging in mercantile business with his brother, Peter J. H. Myers. In 1828 he came to Plattsburg and opened a store on the north-west corner of Water and Bridge Streets, putting in a complete stock of general merchandise. He was subsequently engaged in the iron and lumber business on the Saranac River, also continuing in trade until his decease in 1872, after a busy life of seventy-three years. The maiden name of his wife was Maria D. Kirtland. She was a native of Granville, Washington County, N.Y., and was a daughter of John and Lucy (Burbank) Kirtland. Mr. And Mrs. Lawrence Myers were the parents of nine children, two of whom died young, namely; Peter, in infancy; and Maggie when seven years old. Seven grew to mature years - Joseph, Lucy, Lawrence, John H., Michael P., Jared K., and William W.

John H. Myers received a practical education in the days of his youth, finishing his studies at the Plattsburg Academy, and at the age of seventeen years went into a machine-shop to learn the trade, serving an apprenticeship of two and one-half years. He afterward entered the iron works of his father, which were located on the Saranac River, and at the expiration of a year was so well qualified for the business that he was placed in charge of the establishment, which he superintended for twelve years. Mr. Myers was elected President of the Iron National Bank in 1887, and has since given his entire time to the management of this institution.

John H. Myers and Julia R. Lane were married in 1856. Mrs. Myers was born in the city of Troy, N.Y., and is a daughter of Matthew and Maria Lane. The union of Mr. And Mrs. Myers has been blessed by the birth of four children, but one daughter only is now living, Gertrude R.

Mr. Myers is a man of recognized worth as a citizen, his business ability being unquestioned and his character irreproachable. In local affairs he takes a genuine interest, and has served with credit and acceptability in various offices. He has represented Plattsburg on the County Board of Supervisors, is now a member of the Village Board of Education, and has succeeded his father as a member of the Board of Trustees of the Plattsburg Academy. He was the first President of the Clinton County Agricultural Society, serving in that position five years. In politics he has always affiliated with the Republican party, and cast his first Presidential vote for John C. Fremont. He is a man of deep religious convictions, and both he and his wife are members of the Presbyterian Church.

If, for example, they were in what is now Erie County (formed 1821), note that from 1808 to 1821, this was Niagara County; from 1802 to 1808, it was Genesee County; from 1789 to 1808, it was Ontario County; from 1784 to 1789, it was Montgomery County; from 1772 to 1784, it was Tryon County; and prior to 1772 it was Albany County.
