The local Riverside California paper periodically will print an article about Chief Meyers because he's a local boy that made good. Here's a picture of his Riverside High School baseball team which includes "Jack" Meyers, seated in the second row, second from left. The photo is circa 1896.
Meyers returned to this area and became a police chief for the Mission Indian Agency in 1933. Meyers often attended old timers’ games for the Dodgers and the Giants, especially after those teams moved to California. He died in July 1971 and is buried in Bloomington’s Green Acres Cemetery.
