Frank & Ruth Myers

My sister-in-law recently had the oppurtunity to go grave searching for her great-grandfather in Colorado. She knew when he died and the general area. So after some searching she was able to stop on her recent trip and find his grave. What a great oppurtunity! She agreed to share her great find with us; thank you! She did the research ahead of time, then when it came time to find the cemetery she asked for some help. So her husband made some inquiries and a few phone calls later she was able to find the right cemetery.

First we have a picture of Francis Marion Myers, known as Frank Myers. He was working on the Moffet Tunnel at the time of his death. If you do not know what the Moffet Tunnel is, then you should click on the name and it will take you to Wikipedia for more information. ( I do not endorse Wikipedia as always having the correct information, but it is a good resource to start with.) Anyway, Frank was born in 1880- I do not know where. He died 20 September 1927; two days after being critically injured. He broke his neck and severed his spinal cord.









This was Frank's wife, Ruth Pyle Myers Downey. Ruth remarried after Frank's death. She died in February 1950.
