Thomas Oliver Myers (1939-2021)

Tom Myers was born, February 3, 1939 in the coal mining town of Nevins, Indiana to Leroy and Evelyn Myers.

I’m not sure when the Myers boys came to Trona but my guess is it was around 1952. Their father, Leroy “Roy’ Myers (1916-2000), was living in bunkhouse #4 until he remarried in 1951 and then he moved to 10 Alameda Street with his new wife, Hulda, where they lived until at least 1962. All three of the brothers were involved in athletics in high school.

Tom’s oldest brother, Jack graduated from Trona High School in 1953. He was born in 1935 and passed away in 2003 in Big Springs, TX. The next oldest, Bill was called Gene when he went to Trona High and graduated in 1955. He was born in 1937 and passed away February 19, 2021 in Rio Vista, CA. Bill is buried in the Sacramento Valley National Cemetery.

Evelyn Myers married Eston Herdman. Eston died in 1974. Evelyn died in 2001. Evelyn is burred in Carson City, Nevada. Her obituary says she was a nurse.

Tom passed away on January 10, 2021 in Springfield, Oregon

Sending my deepest condolences to his family.
