• Notes

  Death of John Myers - The death occurred at the K-W Hospital on Saturday of John J. Myers, a former well-known Greenfield resident, in his 82nd year. He had been in ill health for the past three or four months. He was born in Greenfield in the house now occupied by Adam Bechthold, a son of the late Charles Myers and Christina Kicherer. He later took over the farm where Gustave Dettmer now resides, which he operated until 12 or 13 years ago, when he removed to Simcoe to live with his daughter. He subsequently went to Kitchener, where he lived until his death. The late Mr. Myers was a valued member of Dolman Lodge, I.O.O.F., and one of the few to receive the coveted 50-year membership jewel. A hunter of some distinction, Mr. Myers was well acquainted with all the runs and trails in the district. In his younger days he had been an ardent follower of baseball and football. He was an adherent of Knox United Church, Ayr. Surviving are one son, Burton, of Pine Portage; one daughter, Mrs. Foster (Lillian) Kilgour, of Kitchener; one sister, Mrs. William Savage, Toronto; two grandchildren and one great-grandson. His wife, the former Margaret Rodger, predeceased him 18 years ago. Funeral service was held from the Schreiter-Sandrock Funeral Home, Kitchener, on Tuesday, with interment in Ayr Cemetery. The services were conducted by Rev. O. P. Hossie of Trinity United Church, Kitchener, assisted by Rev. W. D. Goodger. The pallbearers were: John Welsh, R. E. Maeder, Charles Gunn, G. S. Dalrymple, Ernest Rutherford, Galt, and Foster Rodger, Toronto. The Ayr News Feb 23 1950 pg 17
