Wallace Myers was born in Illinois and moved with his parents to North Dakota in the fall of 1914 from South Dakota. Hazel Iverson was born near Washburn, North Dakota in a log cabin and moved to Coleharbor, North Dakota with her parents in 1913. Wallace and Hazel both went to school in Coleharbor where they met when they were in the grades. They were married October 15, 1928. That winter they operated a coalmine near Garrison. Wallace and Hazel were blessed with four children, Calvin, Marvin, Adline, and Robert. They attended the same school as their parents. Living in the country required travel three to seven miles each morning and evening.
In the summer of 1948 the government bought their farm for the Garrison Dam Reservoir. Wallace went farm hunting and in August decided on a Section of land eleven and one half miles west of Cooperstown known as the Brede Wamstad farm. The long move was made November 10, 1948.
The children were active in 4-H and won many awards. Robert was on the 4-H judging team and won a Duroc gilt. This started the Myers in raising Duroc. Adline won the Columbia ewe the same year. Mrs. Myers was assistant 4-H leader one year and leader of the Kingsley Climbers girls for ten years. Wallace Myers won many blue ribbons and a number of grand champion and reserve champion ribbons in the Griggs County Fair and the North Dakota Winter Show in Valley City on his hogs. He held an office on the Griggs County Livestock Committee for several years.
