Henry Theodore Myers was my great great grandfather, also born on January 15th, but in 1836. Here is a bit about him, as recorded by Laura Myers Latsbaugh in 1886.

Where it says “1865 he at once located in Centerville”, that’s the house I grew up in on Walnut Bottom Road near Newville, PA. He was a tanner! An entreprenuer. And a lifelong Democrat.
