Named in the 1883 county history

The history of Marion County was published 9 years before the first of these atlases, and it names this establishment.

ELIAS MYERS, a retired farmer, born September 12, 1814, in Hampshire County, Va., is the son of Jacob and Elizabeth (Puckman) Myers, who came to Licking County, Ohio, in 1816, remaining there ten years, when they moved to Franklin Count\ , Ohio, and came to Marion County in 1829. They settled in Montgomery Township. Elizabeth, the wife, died May 12, 1829, and Jacob in 1856, in Missouri, aged seventy two years. The name of their second child is Jonathan. Having obtained a limited education, Elias Myers began when fourteen years of age to learn the tanner's trade, which he completed when twenty years old; that same year he commenced the tanning business for himself in Montgomery township, continuing in that avocation for twenty-five years.

Provenance

Read by machine from the printed index of the Sanborn fire insurance atlases of Marion, Ohio, held by the Library of Congress. Sanborn atlases published before 1930 are in the public domain. Only names that at least three of four independent readings agreed on are published, and no spelling has been corrected: what appears here is what the recogniser returned from the ink.
