  2. The Rev. H. James Meyers, of Lititz, formerly of Somerset

    The Rev. H. James Meyers died in peace on May 2, 2012 at Luther Acres Manor in Lititz. He was born in Mt. Joy on Oct. 31 1919, to Arthur and May (nee Schickley) Meyers, and was the second of seven children (three brothers and three sisters). Jim and his wife Mary Belle (nee Gable) were married for 68 years and raised four children: Jamie (Jim), Connie, Ann (deceased) and Cindy. Jim is survived by nine grandchildren and three great-grandchildren. Pastor Jim was a 1943 graduate of Findlay College and in 1956 he received the Master's of Divinity degree from Gettysburg Lutheran Theological Seminary. His long and fruitful ministry included pastorates at the Church of God in Valley View, the First Church of God Middletown, St. John's Evangelical Lutheran Church in Columbia and Trinity Lutheran Church in Somerset. Pastor Jim developed a strong sense of social justice during the civil rights movement of the 1960s, and preached a Gospel of love and justice for all people. He retired from the pulpit in 1992 but continued his ministry as a supply pastor to churches in the Somerset region until he preached his last sermon in 1988. Jim was active in sports from his boyhood, excelling in baseball at an early age. He starred as a pitcher and outfielder for the Findlay College baseball team and pitched against Hall of Fame pitcher Bob Feller in a game at the Great Lakes Naval Training Center, where Jim prevailed in a 1-0 victory. He came to the attention of professional baseball scouts and was offered a contract with the St. Louis Browns (now the Baltimore Orioles) in the last years of World War II, but he declined to turn pro, instead living out his call to the church. In 1961 Jim took his family on the first of many odysseys to the national parks of the western U.S. He loved camping and mountaineering, and his children are forever grateful for these extended family adventures in the west, which instilled in them a deep love of nature. Jim became an avid bicyclist during his time in Somerset, where he was active in the Rails to Trails movement. His grand adventure was a solo cross-country bicycle ride to Grand Teton National Park in Wyoming. In 2008 Jim and Mary moved back to Columbia, Pa. from Somerset, where they lived at the Herr Estates until Jim's recent move to Luther Acres. Ironically, while serving at St. Johns in Columbia, Pastor Jim sowed the seeds for the establishing this retirement facility where Mary continues to live. A memorial service will be held at Luther Acres in Lititz on Thursday, May 10. Visitation is at 10 a.m., followed by the service at 11 a.m. with a light lunch to follow. Burial will be at a later date at the Church of God Cemetery in Hegins. Arrangements by Auer Cremation Services of Pennsylvania, Inc.
