Mrs. Dave Meyer Dies In Grundy Hospital

Eva Lula Meyers, daughter of Joseph R. and Phidelia Strickler, was born Oct. 21, 1875 in Grundy County. She passed from this life in the Grundy County Hospital on Friday, Aug. 3, 1962. She attended public school in Melrose township, Grundy county.

On December 25, 1895 she was married to David I. Meyers. No children were born to this union. They had a great interest in young people, therefore they provided a home for Harlan Bowers, Mrs. D. L. Butler and Mrs. Melvin Pence.

In 1904 she became a member of the Ivester Church of the Brethren. In 1897 she and her husband homesteaded in North Dakota for seven years. Upon their return they lived on a farm in the Alice community until 1909. They moved to the farm of her birth where she lived until she went to the hospital two weeks before her death.

She was preceded in death by her husband who passed away on Aug. 8, 1945. She is survived by one sister, Mrs. Jessie Moats of Eldora.
