Obituary, The Guthrian Newspaper of Guthrie Center, 28 Jun 1917.
"John Joseph Myers was born in Jo Davis county, Illinois, October 25th 1864. He came to Iowa in 1888 and married December 26, 1893 to Miss Delia Lee. To this union four children were born, Thomas, Lola, Lula and Donald, all living near Guthrie Center, except Thomas who recently enlisted and is at present in training at El Paso, Texas. He leaves also three sister, two brothers and a father to mourn his departure.
The funeral took place at his late home six miles north of Guthrie Center, conducted by W. F. Hurst, pastor of the Christian church of Guthrie Center who took with him a quartette of singers, Mr. and Mrs. Robert Masters, Mrs. Carl Ferry and Dr. G. E. Bond, who sang three beautiful songs of comfort. A large crowd of friends and relatives were present to pay their last respects to this good man. The body was taken to Exira for burial. Thus ends the life of another good father and neighbor."
