Death of Jacob Meyers

Jacob Meyers died Tuesday, January 13th, at the home of his daughter, Mrs. Herbert Garrett, of Tulsa, Oklahoma. He was 81 years old.

Mr. and Mrs. Meyers had gone to Tulsa, early last fall, where they were spending the winter. On Sunday, January 11th, he had a stroke of apoplexy, and he did not recover from its effects.

For a number of years he has been a resident of Madison county, living for a while near Earlham, and again on a farm near Peru. He moved from the farm, west of town to Winterset, where he has resided for the past twenty years.

Mr. Myers was employed at the Madison County State Bank, as janitor for ten years and gave this up a few years ago, due to ill health.

He leaves to mourn his loss, his wife, two daughters, Mrs. Herbert Garrett, Tulsa Oklahoma; Mrs. Leslie Oldham, of near Earlham; three sons, Roy of Portland, Oregon; Carl, and Charles, of North Dakota. The body will arrive Thursday via Peru and the funeral services will be conducted Friday at Fairview.

A more complete account of his life will appear in the mortuary columns next week.
