JOHN P. MYERS, M. D.

     Among the prosperous men of Union may be mentioned Dr. John P. Myers, who
since settling here in 1906 has built up a splendid practice. He was born in
Mercer county, Missouri, February 9, 1874, a son of A. F. and Anna Elizabeth
Myers, the father a native of Ohio and the mother of Illinois. The wedding of
the parents was celebrated in the latter state and shortly afterward they
removed to Missouri, where their children were born. In 1884 the family removed
to Washington and settled in the town of Woodland, where they remained until
1889, when they came to Oregon, locating in Clatskanie, where the parents are
still making their home. In their family were three sons and two daughters, of
whom John P. Myers was the fourth in order of birth.
     Dr. Myers was given a high-school education at Clatskanie, after which he
took a one year's course at the State Normal School. He then entered the
University of Michigan, where he spent two years, then, going to Chicago, became
a student in the Northwestern University, from which he was graduated with the
class of 1904, winning the degree of M. D. He immediately returned to his home
town and began the practice of his profession, continuing there until 1906, and
in March of that year he settled in Union, where he has since been engaged in
the active work of his profession, having built up a large practice.
     Dr. Myers was married, August 14, 1904, to Miss Dora Liggett, of
Independence, Oregon. Her father passed away when she was an infant, and her
mother died two years later. Dr. Myers is an active member of the Union
Commercial Club and takes a deep interest in all of the affairs affecting the
community. He is a good citizen and is also regarded as an able physician. He
has an extensive acquaintance throughout the county and his popularity and
practice are continuously growing.
