Martin was born in Germany; Phillipine probably as well. There are supposed to be relatives in Fredricksburg, Germany. I don’t know when Martin and Phillipine immigrated to the USA, but it had to have been before the births of their children. They lived in Akron, OH, in the late 1890’s, where their children were born (see below). Louis was born in May of 1896 in Akron, OH, and died April 24, 1954, also in Akron, OH. The siblings are as follows: Louis (himself), one sister who died young, Alvin, Martin Jr., William, Edward. There may have been additional children. Louis married Nellie Ellen Cummings about 1928-29. She was born in Scotland in about 1899, and immigrated to the USA in about 1911 or 1912; worked initially as a live-in governess. She died in Cuyahoga Falls, OH, in 1982. Louis and Nellie Myers had seven children: Nellie, Evelyn, Ellen, Eleanor, Louis and Robert. Many of the children are still alive. Nellie is my aunt by marriage to Thomas David Lind. Louis Myers was a Mason. Occupation: Printer. He played semi-pro baseball.
