1. ↑ ARTHUR MYERS
   Strong, Active Young Man Taken Away in His Prime by Tuberculosis
   As intimated last week, the body of Arthur Myers arrived in Lake Odessa,
   but not until Saturday instead of Friday. It was taken to the home of
   his uncle, Frank Myers, where the funeral was held Monday forenoon, Rev.
   J. W. Bostwick of Woodland officiating. Friends who viewed the remains
   could hardly recognize in them the former Arthur Myers. He still
   weighed about 170 pounds when he died, but having been dead a whole
   week, a considerable change was to be expected. His brother, Shirley,
   of Scottville, had been notified of his serious condition and he was
   with him the week before death, so was there to see him properly cared
   for and to accompany the body back to the former home for burial.
   
   Arthur Myers was born on the I. H. Eddy farm Nov. 8, 1883. He grew up
   to manhood in N. Castleton on the old Myers farm recently sold to Floyd
   VanWie. About ten years ago he began working for P. C. Flory at the
   barber grade, with whom he stayed about a year. From here he went to
   Detroit to work in the shop of his uncle Daniel, and later worked in
   other shops, until about 4 years ago when be bought a half interest in a
   shop. Along the first of October he sold out his interest in the shop
   and left for New Mexico, hoping to head off the disease which he
   realized had a firm hold upon him.
   
   Friends of the family say that in spite of his strong, healthy
   appearance, he was never as well as he had been before he had the
   measles, and that is the only source they can trace his liability to
   consumption.
   
   He leaves his mother, Mrs. Matilda Myers, two brothers, Royal of
   Hastings, and Shirley of Scottville, and one sister, Mrs. Allen DeLong
   of northern Michigan.
