ISAAC A. MYERS.
All credit is due the man who starts in life with but little of this world’s goods and no influential friends to help him hew his career through the avenue of obstacles that necessarily lie in wait along his future pathway, and he who removes such barriers one by one and wins a place of respectability and financial ease among his fellow men is undoubtedly the possessor of strong characteristics. Such phraseology might well be applied to I. A. Myers, a farmer and stock man of East Union township, Wayne county, for we shall see by a brief study of his career that he has persevered on his own account until success has crowned his efforts. He was born in Wooster township, this county, March 17, 1866, the son of Milton and Catherine (Kick) Myers, a well known family in that community.
I. A. Myers was reared on the home farm, where he began assisting with the work during the crop seasons very early, and he attended the district schools during the winter months, receiving a very good education. He was ambitious to become a merchant and when twenty-one years of age entered a dry goods store in Eulton county, Ohio, having been employed by F. J. Dimkey, of Archliold, this state, and he remained in his employ for a period of eight years, rendering very faithful service and learning much regarding the mercantile business.
After leaving the store Mr. Myers returned to Wooster, Ohio, and married Elizaheth A. Sands, daughter of J. W. Sands, long an influential citizen of this county.
[This passage is too damaged in the scanned book to reproduce. See the original book.]
To Mr. and Mrs. Myers have been born two sons and one daughter, Zoma, John and Anthony.
Fraternally, Mr. Myers is a member of the Independent Order of Odd Fellows and the Fraternal Order of Eagles. Politically, he is a Democrat, having long taken considerable interest in the success of his party locally, and as a reward for his loyalty his fellow citizens gave him the office of treasurer of East Union township, which position he held with much fidelity and credit for a period of four years. He is one of the influential citizens of this township.
