Thanks for your patience during our recent outage at scalar.usc.edu. While Scalar content is loading normally now, saving is still slow, and Scalar's 'additional metadata' features have been disabled, which may interfere with features like timelines and maps that depend on metadata. This also means that saving a page or media item will remove its additional metadata. If this occurs, you can use the 'All versions' link at the bottom of the page to restore the earlier version. We are continuing to troubleshoot, and will provide further updates as needed. Note that this only affects Scalar projects at scalar.usc.edu, and not those hosted elsewhere.

Myers was born in 1852 in Lancaster, Fairfield County, Ohio, the son of Iddo and Mary Myers. He moved to Iowa and graduated from Griswold College. He married Hedda Ebba Bergwall in Milwaukee on 27 April 1880. Alumni registers of Griswold College list him in both the Diocese of Nebraska and the Diocese of Iowa in 1880, but the federal census that year lists him on the town of Maquoketa, Iowa, where he remained at least through 1883. He came to Indiana and served as rector of both St. John's Church, Elkhart, and St. Paul's, Mishawaka, from 1885 to 1886. He returned to Nebraska and was rector at McCook and Holdridge. He had been appointed in 1891 to Grace Church, Red Cloud, but he was deposed and removed from the ministry by Bishop Graves of The Platte later in 1891. He reportedly died the following year in Milwaukee, but no record of his death has been found. His widow resided in Delafield, Wisconsin, in 1900.
