Myers Edmund B. Myers was born in this township, October 3, 1829. His of PA. parents, Benjamin and Louisa (Smyser) Myers (the latter, a daughter of Jacob and Elizabeth Smyser, of West Manchester Township), were married February 28, 1828, and had a family of seven children: Edmund B., Alexander A. (deceased), Andrew J., Albert S. (deceased), Eli S. (deceased), Ellen E. and Louisa S. (deceased). His mother’s ancestors, the Smysers, were among the very first settlers in West Manchester Township. Margaret Smyser (wife of Christian Eyster), was probably the first white woman that settled in West Manchester Township. She and her husband located in the vicinity of Wolf’s Church, where they took up 600 acres of land, October 30, 1736, as shown by the records in the surveyor-general’s office, at Harrisburgh, Penn. The treaty of session was made October 11, 1736. Edmund B. Myers has traveled extensively; has made an extended trip through Europe, and two trips to California. He has recently become widely known throughout the entire count! ry in connection with the wonderful cures effected by him, by what is known as electro-vital nervaura, or laying on of hands (without medicine). Many invalids who failed to get relief from the best physicians of New York, Philadelphia and other cities, came to him, and in many instances have gone away in perfect health.
