Biographical Record of Wood County, Beers 1897 E. H. Myers, senior member of the firm of Myers Brothers, his partner being J. A. Myers, established business in Luckey in 1883. Their first store was located on their present site, and was a building 22 x 35', where they carried a stock of general merchandise; but a year later they added to it a room 22 x 60' in which they placed a stock of hardware and farming implements. That building, however, was destroyed by fire in July, 1893 but the following fall they directed their present two-story brick block,which has a 44 foot frontage and is 60 feet deep. There they have a full and complete line of hardware and general merchandise, and the upper story is used for a store room. Their stock is well selected and their courteous, kindly treatment of customershas gained them a liberal patronage. In 1852, the birth of our subject occurred in Sandusky County, Ohio, and he is the son of C. H. and Dora(Deidmyer) Myers , natives of Germany, where they were reared and married. On coming to the New World they first located in Buffalo, New York, but in 1852 removed to Sandusky County, where the father followed agricultural pursuits until his death, which occurred in 1857. His wife later married Frank Rolfes, with whom she came to Troy Township, Wood County, where she passed away in 1893. By her first marriage she became the mother of six children: C. H., Who resides on a farm near Elmore, Ohio; Mrs. Schroder, of Pemberville, Ohio; Mrs. L. Rolfes, of Troy Township; E. H., of this sketch; J. A., who is in partnership with our subject; and W. F., who also makes his home in Luckey. The district schools afforded our subject his educational advantages, and at an early age he entered a grocery store at Elmore, Ohio, where he was employed for a time. For two years he also worked at the carpenter's trade in that place, and in 1861 came to Wood County. At Pemberville, he was first employed in the store of a Mister Rosinger, later with A. Froney & Schroder, and then worked for Mister Froney until coming to Luckey. In Troy Township, Mister Myers led to the marriage altar miss Anna Rolf, a daughter of John Rolf, now deceased , and their wedding was celebrated in 1873. They have no children of their own, but have an adopted daughter – Bertha. They are members of the Lutheran Church, and hold an honorable place in the estimation of their fellow citizens. The political support of Mister Myers is given to the Democratic Party, and for seven years he efficiently served as Township clerk. Both in business circles and in private life he is honored and esteemed for his upright character.
