Received a preparatory training for college at schools in New York City, and also in France and Germany, but ill health obliged him to give up a collegiate course, and he turned his attention to business, becoming in 1864 a clerk in the banking house of Polhemus & Jackson. After a few years' experience in this es- tablishment he became a member of the firm of Camblos & Myers, later continuing in business for some years under his own name. This was followed by a period of connection, as special partner, with the banking house of M. E. De Rivas & Co., and by a year or two of travel abroad, after which, in 1884, he organized the banking house of Theodore W. Myers & Co., of which he continues the head, do- ing business with branches in Boston, Philadelphia, Baltimore, Chicago, and other cities. During the civil war he was active in organizing the Sickles Brigade, in which he served for a time as captain of its Third Regiment. For many years afterward was connected with the City Guard, and later became an officer in the Ninth Regiment of the New York State National Guard. Politically is a Democrat.
