Description:	She sits in an Adirondack chair while reading a newspaper. Inda (Snider) Myers (1880-1972) owned Myers Photo Shop, a photographic film processing business, at 1806 North Alabama Street for many decades until about 1970. She and her husband Frederick A. Myers operated a photograph studio and offered photo finishing as early as the 1910s. In 1920 she shot and killed him in self defense in their home/studio. After serving a short time in prison, she built the studio and shop, with upstairs living quarters, on the back of the lot and demolished her old house.Former employee and friend Donna (Farley) Winsted recalled that Myers had a strong personality, with a lot of masculine energy, and you either loved her or hated her. She preferred hiring deaf people so they wouldnt talk, she wanted them quiet and working. Inda was a spiritualist who attended Camp Chesterfield and held seances in her shop basement to help spirits who were stuck move on. She was also a nudist who visited Roselawn.
