In 1906, Isaac Meyer Handelsman (later Isaac Meyers) emigrated from London, England to Montreal, Canada. By 1908, Meyers was
in Warren, Michigan, where he worked as a farmer. Eventually, he made his way west to California and, in 1928, his name appears
as Isaac Meyers on a Workmen's Circle Camp lease in San Bernardino County, California.
