Notes
Emma’s only child by J. L. Davis, and half-sister of Jessie Clifford. Her son Louis Myers reported her death. “Lizabeth Myers” is in the middle row of the family photograph of about 1930-32, with Lou and Gordon Myers, and witnessed Jessie’s marriage to Thomas Absalom in 1928.
Open questions
- Her husband’s given name. The family believes he was Ira Myers; a Seattle Times clipping of 1905 has a Capt. Ira Meyers taking charge of the steamer Neptune in Cook Inlet, Alaska (picture). Their marriage record, or her sons’ birth or death records, would name him.
