Biography

Isaac was born in 1834, the son of Henry Myers and Elizabeth Young.

He married Mary Emma Hiddeman. Their children included:

Sybilla "Libby" Myers (abt. 1862 - 1882) ^[1]

William Myers (1862 - abt. 1880)

Isabel Myers (abt.1867-?)

Laura Myers (1871-?) ^[2]

Rosa S. Myers (1887-?)

In 1880 the family was living on Lime Kiln Road in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania. Isaac was working as a trucker. Son William, age 16, as well as daughters Libby/age 18, Isabel/age 13 and Laura/age 9 were living at home at that time.

By 1900 the family was living at 3615 North 15th Street in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania. In the 1900 U.S. census, Isaac's occupation was listed as "Gentleman." Rosa, age 13, was the only child living with Isaac/age 63 and Mary/age 62. The census says that Mary had had 10 children and sadly only 3 were still living.

Isaac passed away in April 1903 and was buried in Trinity Lutheran Cemetery, Philadelphia, Philadelphia County, Pennsylvania, USA.

NOTE: Extra care is needed when evaluating records for Isaac's family. For example, in the 1850 U.S. census, there were four men named Isaac Myers born between about 1835-1848 and living in Passyunk, Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, United States. Two of them married a woman named Mary.
