At the time of his death, which occurred very suddenly on the 2oth of july, 1896, Mr. Myers was a worthy member of the First Reformed Church in Tifhn, Ohio. Without a moment's warning he was stricken down by the hand of death on the railroad platform, where he had accompanied a niece to the train. The funeral services were conducted at his beautiful home by his pastor, the Rev. M. Schick, D. D., and the Rev. L. H. Kefauver, D. D., his former pastor and Chancellor of Heidelberg University. Two days after his death his remains were borne to Green Lawn Cemetery, where they were laid to rest to await the resurrection call to a glorified life. VVhile Mr, Myers was largely interested in the cause of education gener- ally, he h d especial concern for the educational interests of Heidelberg University. This, doubtless, iniiuenced the Ohio Synod of the Reformed Church to elect him a member of the Board of Regents, which action was taken at its annual meeting in the fall of 1881, This position he filled acceptably to the time of his death. During the greater part of that period he served on different Standing Committees, but on none where the respon- sibility was so great as that of the Executive Committee, of which he was the honored chairman for the last seven years. Here his counsels were sought, which generally proved to be wise. Mr. Myers' gifts to the Universityin various ways, besides his faithful serv- ices, were both timely and valuable. The short space allowed us on these pages prevent us from even enum: rating them. Had his life not terminated so suddenly, Heidelberg University would now be enjoying additional bene- fits of his liberality. He had planned liberally for her needs, which would have resulted in a large increase to her endowment. His surviving wife, however, who is a warm friend of the institution, knowing the wishes of her deceased husband, will see that his good intentions are carried out, which will add greatly to Heidelberg's prosperity. May his mantle fall on others to inspire them to still nobler deeds of charity.
