Portrait and biographical album of Gratiot county, Mich., Chicago, Chapman brothers, 1884. URL: http://name.umdl.umich.edu/bad0926 pgs 713-714 Benjamin F Meyers, resident at Ithaca, was a son of John W and Philena (Baker) Myers, natives of New York who both died in this county. The subject of this biography, Benjamin F Meyers, was born in the state of New York, Nov. 20, 1830. He was reared to the vocation of a farmer, which occupation he has followed thus far along life's journey. He commenced the struggle of life with little means, yet, possessing indomitable energy and determination, backed by good judgement, he toiled along the weary road and succeded. Mr. Myers was first united in marriage, May 15, 1861, in the State of Pennsylvania, to Miss Fanny P. Coss. She was born in that State, May 14, 1839. For 19 years she shared the toils and trials, the pleasures and joys of life with her husband, and then passed to "the home not made with hands." Her demise occured Dec. 11, 1880. By their union they had two children: Fred A., born April 16, 1862, and died Oct. 20, 1863; John W., born May 26, 1877. The second marriage of Mr. Myers took place at Saginaw, this State, at which place he was united to Mrs. Elizabeth A. Miller, widow of Samuel Miller, of that place. She was the mother, by her first marriage, of two children, namely: Frank B., born Sept. 24, 1861, and Fred F., born Oct 12, 1865. The mother is a daughter of Bernard and Dorinda (Kennedy) Fox, residents of this county since 1858, and among the first setllers in the county. She was born in the Empire State, June 1, 1837. Politically, Mr. Myers is a Republican. He is living a retired life, satisfied with his prosperity, and is characterized for the interests he manifests in the welfare of the county.
