Annie Meyers

[3][4] Meyers was born in Cornwall and immigrated with her family the Moonta, South Australia when she was three years old.

Little is known of her early life but her sister, Elizabeth (Bessie) Williams also lived in Stuart and later married Ernest Allchurch, who was then employed at a telegraphist at the Alice Springs Telegraph Station where he would later become the postmaster.

[1] Meyers marriage was not a happy one and in 1909 she decided to leave Alice Springs and take her children 'south', likely to Adelaide, for schooling.

[4][8] Meyers gave up the guest home in the late 1930s and then moved to Adelaide and, later, to Boulder (Western Australia) where she lived with her daughter Gwen.

[1] Olive Pink was a regular visitor at the 'Stuarts Guest Home' when she was working as an anthropologist at Thompsons Rockhole, which necessitated frequent visits to Alice Springs, and it was she who asked that, what was gazetted "Meyers Hill", be named "Annie Meyers Hill", part of Olive Pink Botanic Garden, after her.
