Well, the obituary would sound like you are right about Albert's parents being Isaac and Sarah Myers, whereas I had him (apparently wrongly) as s/o Enoch & Nancy Musser Myers. For what it's worth, Enoch and Nancy moved from Juniata County PA to Wayne Co. OH, then to Jo Daviess Co. IL.; alas, this information was entered early on in my venturing into genealogy, and I didn't know to record my sources back then. However, as to the wife, Elizabeth Badger Myers, in our family records she was born August 23, 1858 at White Springs, Union County, PA and died June 14, 1911. She married Albert January 1, 1880, perhaps at Panther Creek. Elizabeth is d/o Elder Robert Badger III (1819-1907) and Susannah Shively (1819-1894). Her obituary is one of the clippings in Great-Grandpa Bower's scrapbook and appears to be from the Gospel Messenger. It clearly identifies her as "nee Badger" and being married to Albert Myers. The death notice was sent in by O E Messamer of Adel, Iowa. Since Great-Grandpa David Bower was married to another child of Robert Badger III and Susannah Shively, namely Susannah Badger, I guess that would make Albert and Elizabeth his brother- and sister-in-law. I do know that he also saved copies of newspaper and Gospel Messenger articles about Mrs Lutz. Happy hunting. Jan **************Wondering what's for Dinner Tonight?

OK on the Myers's - and Enoch & Nancy did have a son Albert, but apparently not the one who was killed by a UP train. The burial place of Enoch and Nancy is in the E. Chelsea Cemetery, west of Waddams Grove, IL - I think over across the county line into Jo Daviess Co. (Their son Albert P. Myers (b. July 26, 1858, d. Jan. 21, 1924) m. Clara Elizabeth Lutz on Mar. 6, 1884 - a sister of grandfather John "Ezra" Lutz.) OK also on the Badgers - apparently there were two Elizabeth's, and my father correctly identified his grandmother's sister in the anniversary picture as Lizzie Badger and not Lizzie Myers. Now I wonder whether you would be so kind as to fill in some blanks for me. I had only two generations of Robert Badgers. Here is what I have missing and would be glad to have them filled in: Your first Robert Badger and his wife are completely missing from my records. For your Robert Badger II, all that I have is that he was born "about 1797" and died March 27, 1866, with his burial place in the Louisa Cemetery, between Lena and Waddams Grove, IL - I have nothing about his wife. Your Robert Badger III is the only child of Roger Badger II that I have listed. For children of Robert Badger III, I have Samuel and Catherine with no dates, places, or spouses. For John and Elizabeth (Fry) Badger, I have no death dates. I suppose I can survive a while yet without any of this information, but if you can fill any of the missing pieces, it will look nice. With appreciation, Dwight Farringer. ----- Original Message ----- From: <KTompk7744@aol.com> To: <brethren@rootsweb.com> Sent: Saturday, May 03, 2008 12:56 PM Subject: [BRE] Albert & Elizabeth Badger Myers > Well, the obituary would sound like you are right about Albert's parents > being Isaac and Sarah Myers, whereas I had him (apparently wrongly) as s/o > Enoch > & Nancy Musser Myers.
