Myers, 76 years of age, senior member of the firm of Myers & Co., Bluffton, Ind., died suddenly of heart trouble, while transacting busi- ness in the downtown section of the city. Mr. Myers was born in Guernsey county, Ohio, May 4, 1845, coming to Indiana with his parents in 1861, where the father engaged in the saw mill busi- ness. In 1866 Mr. Myers married Miss Analyza Luce and moved to Huntington county, where he engaged in the lumber business with his brother under the firm name of Myers Bros. But they were unfortunate in this venture, because fire destroyed their mills a few years later. In 1890 Mr. Myers went to Bluffton, where he started a greenhouse. In 1902 he took his son, Dillon, into part- nership under the firm name of Myers & Son. This business has expanded yearly and faces a prosperous future. Mr. Myers is survived by a widow and five children, Orion F., of Detroit, Mich.; Dillon, of Bluffton; Asa E., of McMinnville, Ore.; Mrs. G. Shopbell, of Wellington, Ore., and Mrs. Eleia Schroder, of Bluffton. WiUiam Watson. William Watson, who for about twenty-seven years was manager to L. R.
