bullet  General Notes:

THE MYERS FAMILY 27 December 1992, by H.J. Suter, Regeneration: The Suter Saga, page 25
Thomas Watson Myers married Eliza Maharg when she was 15 years old in early April 1875, the same year in which she lost both her mother and father. They moved to Gravenhurst from Amaranth Township and lived according to Opal Patterson, her granddaughter, "about a mile north of Gravenhurst Highway on the old Hawk Rock River".

He was a Carpenter and they probably raised most of their 11 children at this location. We have a picture of Norman Myers driving the Slater store team in Gravenhurst when he appeared to still be a teenager and Opal recalls that the Myers moved out West "between Frank Myers getting his Telegrapher's job at 14 (1906) and winning the Station Agent's job at Burks Falls at the age of 16 (1908)."

It stands out in her mind because the family repeatedly discussed Frank's precociousness in being able to procure such a good position at such a young age. Alfred Myers who did not return from World War 1, stayed with Frank while he finished his education. The remainder of the family moved to Saskatchewan at this time.

The year of 1917 is when I believe the Robinsons tried their luck in Hazenmore, Saskatchewan. This event precipitated Ethel Eliza Robinson leaving the nest to live with her sister in Toronto in 1917.

At the Myers' reunion of 1986, Dorothy Davey of Cadillac, Sask. developed the following tree:
