"GRANDMA" MYERS Dies at Home of Daughter Yesterday
Mrs. Olive E. Myers had been a Resident of West Plains Many Years. Funeral at 2'oclock Tomorrow
(FROM FRIDAY'S DAILY QUILL)
Mrs. Olive E. Myers, better known as "Grandma" Myers, died at 10 o'clock yesterday morning at the home of her daughter, Mrs. Norris Fury, Sr., on Lincoln avenue, death being due to acute indigestion.
She had been in frail health for several months.
Mrs. Myers was 74 years old and had been a resident of West Plains for many years. She was a woman of true Christian character and had many many friends during her residence here. She was born in Calhoun County, Illinois, in 1847 and was married in 1867 at Jerseyville, Ill. to Nicholas Myers, whose death occurred in West Plains
a few years ago.
Besides the daughter at whose home she died, the aged woman is survived by three sons, Matt Myers of West Plains, William Myers of Elmo, AR. , and George Myers of Miami, Okla. The daughter and the son who reside here, with several grandchildren were at her bedside at the time of her death, and the son from Oklahoma arrived here today to attend the funeral.
Funeral services will be conducted at 2 o'clock tomorrow afternoon at the Congregational Methodist Church on East Cleveland by the Rev. T. D. Boles. Interment will be the Langston Cemetery, where Mr. Myers also is buried.

This information found in the offices of Russ Cochram, Publisher, West Plains, MO by Linda Smith, ggrandaughter.

ALSO....within my notes I have this and it might be of help to you and me both: John Anderson from Oak Park, Ill.(Chicago) had daughter named Olive E.
1861 John Anderson Mustered into service while living in Chicago.
NOTE: This might explain Olive living with another family...perhaps her mother had died and he had asked friends or possibly relatives to care for the children when he went into the service????
