General Notes: Husband - Newton B. Myers


He was a native of Prospect, Butler County, Pennsylvania, where he spent his early life. Coming to Franklin, Venango County, about 1860, during the period of the oil excitement, he gave his energies for a time to the new enterprise then engaging most attention. But he continued in it only a short time, turning to the livery business, for which he was very well fitted, being a well-known horseman and a competent judge of horses. He always did a profitable business until he withdrew, in 1906, after which he lived retired until his death. The first standard-bred horse in Franklin was brought here by Mr. Myers, who always maintained a keen interest in good stock of all kinds. He acquired a farm of 150 acres in French Creek Township, Venango County, and kept in close touch with agricultural affairs, using his influence to promote the farmer's welfare whenever possible. He was public-spirited in his attitude on town matters, and as a member of the council for many years had much to do with shaping the policies of local government in Franklin. [HVC 1919, 906]
