Besides Myron, there were seven other children in the family, which four are still living. He grew to young manhood in that community.
On September 16, 1888 he was united in marriage to Miss Carrie Ann Morrow. Three sons were born to them to bless their home, Harry Myron, Earl Herman and Howard John. Harry preceded his father in death in 1918 at the age of 29.
Mr. and Mrs. Bemus and family came to Iowa in 1900, settling at Dysart. In 1909 they moved to the Riceville community, living on the farm until 1915, when they moved into the town of Riceville. Mr. Bemus worked for the Equity Company for five years. He spent the rest of his life in Riceville except four years he lived in West Union and Waterloo.
Mr. Bemus was converted to the Christian life during early manhood, and united with the Baptist Church in his home community. He united with the First Baptist Church of Riceville after moving into this community, and was a member here when released by death.
His loved ones that remain are his dear wife and two sons, Earl Herman of Willimington, California and Howard John of Waterloo, Iowa. There are six grandchildren and six great-grandchildren. Also, two brothers, John Bemus of New York and Charles Bemus of Riceville, and two sisters, Ada Colby of New York and Sarah Fairbanks of Waterloo. A host of friends will also miss him.
Funeral services were held in the Baptist Church, Sunday afternoon, August 17th at 1:30 o'clock, conducted by Rev. Henry Olsen and assisted by Rev. E. Bodenham. Burial was in the Riceville Cemetery.
