• Notes

  John was a miller by trade and operated the "Meyer Mill" one mile east of Coburn, PA where his seven children were born. About the year 1858 he exchanged the mill property for a farm in Brush Valley one mile west of Rebersburg near Hebler's Mill where he erected a substantial brick farm house. Soon after his wife's death he moved to Aaronsburg, where, with his daughter, Sarah he lived a retired life, until his death. He was a consistent member of the Reformed Church as were his ancestors. In politics he was a staunch democrat. From Genealogy of The Morr Family, Julia Morr and her Descendants - chapter IX. John (Catherine, Julia, Andrew,) was born December 30, 1806; died at Aaronsburg, Pa., January 28, 1878. He was married to Mary Klose. She was born in Penn's township, Northumberland county, Pa., April 23, 1810; died at the Meyer home- stead near Rebersburg, Pa., May 26, 1865. Mr. Meyer is buried in Reformed Cemetery at Aaronsburg; Mrs. Meyer in the Lutheran and Reformed Cemetery, Rebersburg. For many years Mr. Meyer lived on a farm about one mile west of Rebersburg, near Meyer's mill, thence he returned to Aaronsburg, where he lived until his death. He was a man rather below the medium height, of a very kindly, amiable disposition, and had not an enemy in the world. He was honest and industrious, and his word was as good as a note with "approved security." Issue seven: Sarah, Joseph, David, Malinda, Mary, George, and Ellen. [2] from The Genealogy of the Meyer Family by Henry Meyer, 1890. John (George, Christopher, Gr. Meyer), was born Dec. 30, 1806; was married to Mary Klose, a sister of Rachel Klose, wife of Michel Meyer, Freeburg. See page 114. John lived for many years on a farm west of Rebersburg, Pa., about a mile, near Meyer's Mill, thence he returned to Aaronsburg, Pennsvalley, Pa., where he died Jan. 28, 1878. He was a man rather below the medium height; he was of a very kindly, amiable disposition and had not an enemy in the world. He was honest and industrious, and his word was as good as a note with "approved security." His wife Mary was born April 23, 1810; died at their homestead near Rebersburg, Pa., May 26, 1865, and is buried in the Lutheran and Reformed cemetery of the latter place. John lies buried in Reformed cemetery at Aaronsburg. (We found her headstone in Aaronsburg - Edna) [3]
