MIR. James Myers, native OF Middleway In
this county, and graduate of the Spirit
Office, died recently at Puebla, Colorado.-
He had been failing for some time, and had
gone thither from Stanford, KY, in hopes of
recuperating his health, and his remains
were conveyed to the latter pace for buria'.
Mr.. Myers was we'll known aud esteemed
here whilst engaged upon this paper, for few
years up to the breaking out of the late war,
when he entered the service of the Confed-
eracy, and his friends here will learn of his
death with paug of regret. The Stanford
Interior Journal says of him:
"On Thursday morning the funeral SER
vices were held by Bishop Thos U. Dudley,
of the Episcopal church, at the College
Chapel, and the remains escorted by the mem
bers of the Stanford Lodge of Masons, to the
Cemetery. Here the Bishop went through
with the usual services a. the grave, which
were followed by the Masonic ceremonies,
and then all that was mortal Of James Myers
was consigned to the tomb. Mr.. Myers was
in his Seth year, and was q native of Vir-
ginia. After the close of the war, 10 which
he served four years with distinction in the
gallant "Stonewall" Brigade, he sought the
occupation of printer. He obtained en-
ployment on the Vest d; South, paper pub.
lshed in Cincinnati. and subsequently
worked on the Gazette. After several years
spent in Cincinnati, during which he mar
ried Miss Helen Burnham, of W., who was
then visiting Cincinnati, he removed to St.
Adams, Vermont, aud became connected
with daily paper there and remained with
credit up to the commencement of his sick
ness. Then with his wife and three chill
dren he came for the benefit of his health to
his sisters, Mrs. s. G. Truehcart, Principal
of our Female College. Finding but little
improvement he went to Colorado, but the
terrible disease, Consum ptop, had fastened
its hold SO tightly that fine climate had no
effect on him. Mr.. Myers was member of
the Episcopal church, knight Templar,
and thorough gentleman in every sense OF
the word. His wife and little ones suffer
severe loss in his death. but 1.-THE Father of
the fatherless and the Tod of consolation to
the widow, has promised TO sustain them in
their affection and to Him they can look for
succor. The sympathy of the entire commu-
nifty is with them and the other members of
the family in their sorrow"
