In the relations above named. the
deceased has testimony from sur
vivers in the records of the Orders,
printed elsewhere.
In that relation greater than all, !
the Brotherhood of Man, we best
knew Lloyd Myers. No society, no
church, no party held In its grasp
his warm heart. He was dutiful to
the church and the societies to which |
he belonged. 'No pent up Utica
contracted his powers" in the lend
of a helping haud to any Que feeble,
to any one sick, to any one dead.
In twenty years cf very close
acquaintance with Lloyd Myers we
never knew of man sick, family
in distress, a person dead, that Lovd
Myers was not there giving such
sympathy and such help as warm
heart and strong arm could render.
In the days past we have seen him
drop his sledge in the forge, and bare
armed, help to carry coffin to a
grave. We have met him and
staid with him through long nights
at the dying bed, when We knew
that his muscle the next day was
needed, at the forge where his work
was his living. In this social re-
lation Lloyd Myers was a Man, =
Christian.
The memorial of his worth, in this
is incensed in prayer.
Most closely, in a worldly way
Lloyd Myers was touched to the
writer, in that he was u Renublican
and opposed US. No M, r. intense p.
ever held a place in
Hooking county politics. He was
dangerous to democrats, because he
was honest in his views and earnest
in his opposition. In the great
of 1880, he was the hero
of bis side. 1t was the campaign of
and Garfield. The demo-
Gratis had for their leaders, Bill,
Chairman of the Commit
tee, associated were Hamblin. Lappen,
Green Buerhause and Wilson. The
had DR.. Pullen for
who passed the manage
nent to Lloyd Myers, who had as
members of his committee, Bob
Jessie Collins and ;.
Oliver Wright. Burhause was
Democratic candidate for Prosecut-
ne Attorney and Oliver Wright
vas coudidate for the same office on
| d
be Repbllcan ticket. 1t was battle
VI giants among the leaders and
trial of spurs with young roosters r
between Buerhaus aud Wright for ,,
he incidental office. W
Lovd Myers made great cam, C;
'aign, but his party went down u
Inder six hundred democratic :"
majority IN Hooking. The defeat o.
ispirited him in this that some of
is support abandoned the "Lost
;ause," and he soon left the county.
Gov. Foraker gave him an appoint
nent in the public service in the
'enitentiary. Subsequently he was II
mployed in the Water Works al
of Columbus. o.
But in all his relations public or
ocial, Lloyd Myers was true man,
nd his death is the occasion of as
,uch profound regret, as Tat of any
IAN who has ever lived IN our midst.
With his many friends who have
isputed and differed but never
uarreled, with his close companions
f society and church, and with all
