Billy and Alan Myer

[wilderness]

I've an unusual dilemma and I'm attempting to ask all for help?

I'm hoping to confirm the parents names of Billy and Alan Myer and the other Myer brothers?

Were the parents of Billy and Alan, named Mrs. Lulu Myer (or Myers) and Edwin Saxe Meyer (or Myers)?
Might anybody be able to confirm this?

1) Billy Myer is reported within numerous articles and by multiple sources as the "oldest" of the Myer brothers (Its possible that Billy could have been the "oldest living Brother" at the dates of publication).
2) Eddie Myers (May 1959 Hoof Beats obituary) was reported as 49YO at his passing. Making approximate DOB 1910.
3) Billy Myer DOB is 1916 (making Ed Myer (Myers some six years older).
4) Many people are aware that "Myer" and "Myers" were often confused in printed materials and published incorrectly.

Summary; generally speaking and when I've found such discrepancies in my dataset?
The correct references generally outnumber the incorrect references (in this instance the higher number of correct references being distinguishable by the masses).

In an attempt to confirm (and prior to providing data for an inquiry on "Eddie Myer" and/or "Eddie Myers"?
My quantity of references to "Eddie Myers" (77) and assumed to be incorrect by the masses.
My quantity of references to "Eddie Myer" are a mere (21).

My apologies for this confusing request, of which I do realize many will not be able assist with, however I'm attempting the follow-up on this matter so that I may fulfill the initial inquiry, which also includes some other materials not related to this Myer/Myers issue.

Many thanks.

FWIW

I'd previously attempted the Social Security Death Indexes, a general
google, and all the family tree crap.
Searching on all variations of letters and names previously (after a while
these things become similar to a dog chasing its own tail).

Tonight on a general google of "Edwin Saxe Myer" (perhaps I was just in the
right place at the right time) and found a link which took me to this link:
