Marion Daniel Shutter, D.D., LL.D.; Volume I - Shutter (Historical); volume II - Biographical; volume III - Biographical ======================================================== Vol II, pg 277-278 SIMON MEYERS Simon Meyers, who has been an active representative of the Minneapolis bar for almost four decades, is widely recognized as one of the able and learned lawyers of the city and has long enjoyed an enviable reputation among his professional colleagues and contemporaries. His birth occurred in Syracuse, New York, on the 14th of May, 1862, his parents being Henry and Fannie (Hamburger) Meyers, both of whom were natives of Germany. It was in the early '40s that they crossed the Atlantic to the United States, first settling in New York City and later in Syracuse, where the father engaged in the tanning business. In 1870 they removed to Albany, New York, where Mr. Meyers passed away in 1878, while his wife, who survived him for two decades, was called to her final rest in 1898. Simon Meyers obtained his education in the public schools of Syracuse and of Albany, New York, and then took up the study of law in the office of Newcomb & Bailey in the latter city. On attaining his majority he took the state bar examination and was admitted to practice at Binghamton, New York, in 1883. Feeling that the west offered greater opportunities to the young lawyer, he came to Minneapolis in the same year, was admitted to the Minnesota bar on motion and has engaged in practice here throughout the intervening period of thirty-nine years, during which he has built up an extensive and important clientage. His knowledge of the principles of jurisprudence is comprehensive and exact and the court records bear testimony to the many favorable verdicts he has won. He has also become identified with the business interests of this city as vice president of the Cedar Lake Ice Company. In 1892, in Minneapolis, Mr. Meyers was united in marriage to Miss Minnie Ditten-hoefer, a daughter of one of the old and honored families of New York State, her mother and family having taken up their abode in Minneapolis after the father's death. Mr. and Mrs. Meyers are the parents of a son and a daughter. Henry L., who enlisted for service in the World war with the Eighty-eighth Division, attended the Officers Training School at Camp Lee and was commissioned a second lieutenant. He is still a member of the Reserves. Ruth V., the daughter, was actively engaged in Red Cross work, in which her mother also took a helpful part, being a director of the local organization. Mr. Meyers acted as one of the Four-Minute speakers in connection with the Liberty Loan and Red Cross campaigns, so that the family may be said to have rendered one hundred per cent service to the government in the country's critical hour. In politics Mr. Meyers is a staunch republican and in 1897 was sent to the state legislature, where he made a most creditable record, giving thoughtful and earnest consideration to all the vital questions which came up for settlement. In 1913 he served as a member of the charter commission and he has long been numbered among the public-spirited and enterprising citizens of Minneapolis whose influence is ever found on the side of progress, improvement and up building. Golf and fishing afford him pleasurable recreation when opportunity permits, but the demands of his practice leave him comparatively little leisure.
