She was born Oct 30, 1893, southwest of Waynetown and came with her family to Crawfordsville eight years ago. Mrs. Myers was the daughter of Decatur and Emma Thompson Wilkinson. United in marriage on October 26, 1924 to Byron F. Myers, the couple went to Indianapolis where they had since lived. Recently Mrs Myers returned to her parents' home here and a few days ago was taken to the Culver hospital. Mrs. Myers was a member of the Christian church here and of the order of Rebekahs. Besides her husband and infant son, Mrs Myers is survived by her parents, Mr and Mrs Decatur Wilkinson, 1107 west Main street, one brother, Fred of this city and one sister, Mrs. Sylvia M. Walters of Indianapolis. The condition of the infant son is reported to be very satisfactory.
