Narrative

Note: Researching George Henry Myers Jr.

In the original files left to me by Jane Anne Thomas, the only information given for George Henry Myers Sr., son of Henry Myers Jr. and Mary Agnes (Bayha) Myers, was his birthdate in 1896. In the cursory research I did for this branch of the tree, I had found George Henry Myers Jr., but had him listed solely as "George Myers" and had mistakenly attributed him as a son of Robert Earl Myers Sr. and Nellie Ora Harbaugh. At that time, my research had only found him in the 1930 and 1940 US Census records for the household of his grandmother, Mary Agnes, where he was listed as her grandson. As Robert and Nellie were listed there, as well, I had erroneously assumed that George Jr. was actually there son, though I noted it odd that Nellie's 2002 obituary named two daughters as well as son Robert Jr., but not the younger George. I will also note that the latest record I had found for George Sr. was his listing in his mother's household in the 1920 US Census, as an unmarried young man.

More recent contact from Mark Myers, son of George Henry Myers Jr., helped to correct this. Mark mentioned that his paternal grandfather, George Sr., had married a young woman named Della Collett, who died in childbirth with George Jr. According to family lore, the elder George never got over the death of his young wife in delivering their only son, and did not maintain a close relationship with his son because of this. George Jr. spent most of his youth living with his extended family until joining the Army in early 1943 as a nineteen-year-old enlistee for service in WWII.
