  • Notes 
    • Gen. of Meyer Family states he was still living in 1890.
      from The Genealogy of the Meyer Family by Henry Meyer, 1890.
      Frederick C. (Christopher, Christopher, Gr. Meyer)
      was born Feb. 17, 1810; married to Mary Ann Boyer; both
      living at this date Jan., 1890. Frederick is Musical Director
      of the Musical College at Freeburg, an institution of deserved
      popularity in Central Pennsylvania, and of which he is the
      originator. He is a very intelligent and energetic man, pos-
      sessing very decided convictions in religion and politics, and
      his strong traits of character have left their impress upon the
      history of his native town and county. Formerly, for a period
      of forty-six years, he had been associated with his brother
      George C. in the mercantile business ; at present his attention
      is devoted almost exclusively to his Musical College. He
      has also been proprietor of a hotel for many years. Of the
      Meyer history, Frederick is full to overflowing, and to him
      the writer is indebted for much valuable information on the
      subject and for kind and courteous treatment when visiting
      him in 1883. Thus it will be found that his name occurs on
      many pages throughout this work in connection with histori-
      cal facts. He is a member of the German Keformed Church
      Politically he is a Republican, and he cannot understand
      how any Meyer could be a Democrat! Frederick can look
      with justifiable pride and satisfaction upon a numerous train
      of descendants, not one of whom would cause a fond parent's
      cheek to crimson with shame.
