Born at Toronto, Ontario on 27 August 1892, one of six children of Charles L. Meyers (1860-?) and Elizabeth Doran (1868-?), he came to Winnipeg with his family before 1901. In 1918, in the late days of the First World War, he enlisted in the Canadian Expeditionary Force. Following his military discharge in 1919, operating out of a Winnipeg studio on Notre Dame Avenue, he ventured around southern Manitoba through the 1920s, taking photographs that were made into postcards, many of which survive today. He later returned to Toronto where he continued working as a photographer. He died in 1984.
