Looking for information on any and all of the following:  William MYERS,
b: August 30, 1827, married Elizabeth STOUT, b: 1832 Franklin County,
Indiana, in 1850.  she was the daughter of Ira STOUT, who was born 1811 in
Indiana, and Eliza McNUTT, who was born in 1814 in Indiana.  William's
parents are not currently known and his birth place has been shown in
various records as PA, OH, and IN, so I am not absolutely sure where he is
from.  Children of William MYERS and Elizabeth (STOUT) MYERS include:
John MYERS, b: 1850;  Salish Viola MYERS, b: 1855;  Ira Eugene MYERS, b:
August 30, 1857;  Mattie E. MYERS, b: 1860;  Charles MYERS, b: 1862;
Eliza F. MYERS, b: 1865;  Ada H. MYERS, b: 1866-1867;  William S. MYERS,
b: 1869;  Frank E. MYERS, b: 1871; and Harry H. MYERS, b: 1874.  All the
children were born in Brookville, Franklin County, Indiana.
Ira Eugene STOUT married Lillian Ellen FARMER, b: September 1859, Franklin
County, Indiana, on January 31, 1878 in Brookville, Franklin County,
Indiana.  She was the daughter of John A. FARMER and Rachael (UPDIKE)
FARMER.  Census records indicate her given name may actually be Lilla Ella
FARMER.
Ira and Lillian disappeared from Franklin County, Indiana before the 1880
census and, until recently, were next found in Marion, Marion County,
Kansas.  Based on an obituary that was turned up this week, it appears Ira
and Lillian made it to Pawnee County, Kansas in late 1878 and resided
there until 1883 when they moved to Marion.  While in Pawnee County, their
first son, 'Roy' was born.  He is listed in the 1900 census records as 'L.
R. MEYERS', still living with Ira.  He apparently went by 'Roy' but, it is
believed his actual first name is Leroy based on the birth record for a
daughter, Helen, who was born to a Leroy MYERS and Birdie CLINE in Marion
in 1907 and a photo taken in 1912 with N. S. Oscar MYERS which states
'Roy, Birdie and children arrived in Long Beach today'.
Lillian Ellen (FARMER) MYERS died in 1906 in Marion following a prolonged,
unspecified illness.  Ira remarried in 1907 to Angelia Emeline STOUT, a
Marion school teacher, in 1907.  Ira died in 1931 in Marion.
Children of Ira and Lillian include Leroy/Roy R. MYERS, b: February 1882
in Pawnee County, Kansas;  N. S. Oscar MYERS, b: April 7, 1886 in Marion,
Kansas;  Myrtle MYERS, b: April 1884 in Mari, Kansas;  and Ora Estelle
MYERS, b: Marion and died July 26, 1887 as an infant of typhoid fever.
There are no confirmed children of Ira and Angelia.  However, there are
several references to an 'Aunt Carrie' in some photos taken in the 1940's.
Since there was no Carrie born to Ira and Lillian, it is speculated that
she is either Ira and Angelia's child or one of Ira's sibling's child.
Ira and Lillian also had a foster-daughter, Florence.  It is possible that
Carrie was her first or middle name and that she is the Aunty in the
photos, but the Ira/Angelia and the sibling theories are more plausible.
Leroy/Roy MYERS married Birdie CLINE around 1906-1907.  They had a
daughter, Helen, b: April 11, 1907 and a son, b: about 1910.  The family
moved from Marion, Kansas to Long Beach, California in 1912.
Myrtle MYERS married (Leo or Les) Ross SHEETS in Kansas.  Myrtle's and
Ross' children include:  Doris SHEETS;  L. Eugene SHEETS;  and Louise
SHEETS.  Myrtle and Ross lived in El Dorado, Kansas for a time and
eventually settled in either Mission or Shawnee Mission, Kansas.
N. S. Oscar MYERS married Libbie Leona DAVIS, b: 1892 in Bruce, Brookings
County, South Dakota, on September 17, 1913 in Long Beach, California.
Their children include:  Fay Clinton MYERS, b: June 18, 1914, Phoenix,
Arizona;  Otis Clayton MYERS, b: October 3, 1915, Marion, Kansas; and
Hazel Madeline MYERS, b: October 24, 1917 in Marion, Kansas.  Hazel died
at the age of 6 of diphtheria in Long Beach, California on January 16,
1924, only 4 days after her mother, Libbie, died from what was diagnosed
as 'Toxemia from Laryngeal Abscess' but was in all likelihood diphtheria.
N. S. Oscar MYERS died of pneumonia in Long Beach, California on December
6, 1943.
That concludes the MYERS that lived in Kansas or were the known ancestors
of the MYERS who made it to Kansas.  If any of that clan matches your clan
and you desire further information on more recent descendants or on the
clan that stayed in Indiana, please advise and I will provide them.
