Rev. Frederick Myers, son of Jeremiah and Dearks Myers, was born in Kentucky,
February 18, 1831, and brought up in Indiana. While passing from New Albany to
Louisville, in 1863, he was suspected of being a slave, and was arrested as such
on arriving at the latter city. He is a married man and has one child –
Frederick A. Myers – having married Miss Josephine Scott, at Ypsilanti,
Michigan. In the early part of his life he was in mercantile business, but has
been a traveling preacher eighteen years, and is now Pastor of the African M. E.
Church at Cairo, Alexander County – a church numbering 250 members, and
prospering under his ministry.
