William H. MEYERS was b. 1860 in Missouri to parents John MEYERS (1834-1929) and Ellen LOVE (1840-1918). William married Mary Elizabeth “Lizzie” ADAMS (1867-1957) on 19 Oct 1887 in Highland Co., OH and they had two children including Alice L. MEYERS (b. 1894) and Geneveve or Genevive or Genevieve MEYERS (b. 1899). William died in 1913 and is buried in the Greenfield Cemetery in Greenfield, OH.
William’s father John MEYERS was b. 1834 in France and died in 1929 and is also buried in the Greenfield Cemetery in Greenfield, OH.
