info from The Meyer Family Tree compiled by John D. Meyer, Tyrone, PA, October 1937
Born at Muhlbach. About the year 1768 moved with his family to Penns Township, now a part of Snyder County, near the present site of Freesburg. Notes say that he had eight children.

From GENEALOGY OF THE Meyer Family BY HENRY MEYER, 1890.
JACOB MEYER(1) (son of the Meyer from Germany) was the second son, and was born at Mühlbach. The date of his birth was not ascertained, nor the date of his decease definitely. There is no tombstone with an inscription, and if there are any positive records anywhere on the subject, T failed to discover them. Letters of administration were granted Samuel and John Haas to settle up his estate, dated Feb. 24, 1808. and it is probable he died only a short time previous to that date. Tradition and some papers in my possession point to about the same period. He was about seventy-five years old, states Maj. John Meyer, a grandson.

1. Note. Or John Jacob. Hon. Jacob G. Meyer states that each of the son's first name was John. But they are not found written thus in old manuscripts. However, it was not an unusual custom at that period to name a whole family of sons John, employing a middle name Henry, George, Jacob or whatever it might be to distinguish them.

Jacob lived at Mühlbach until about the year 1768, when he moved with his family to Penn's township, now part of Snyder County, Pa., and purchased a large tract of land lying west, about three-fourths of a mile from the present Bite of Freeburg, formerly named Straubsburg, after its founder. Peter Straub, and was one of the early settlers in that section. Andrew Moor, a Mr. Glass and Mr. Straub had preceded him. The family suffered the usual hardships incident to frontier life. Their flour was brought from Mühlbach on horseback. Yet there must have been grist-mills more convenient at that date. On one of those trips for supplies Jacob's brother. Christopher, came along to the new country. and while crossing Peter's mountain, north of Harrisburg, the pack saddle-straps gave way, and the packs rolled down the mountain. Then Christopher got out of humor, and berated Jacob for moving into the distant wilderness whence no roads would ever be made ; to which the latter replied that sometime in the future excellent roads would be constructed. And of course Jacob's prophecy came true, for around the end of that same mountain which they crossed along a narrow path there are now a fine carriage road, a canal and a double track for cars, while just across the river there is another railroad track. Probably it was, to resume our narrative, on this trip that a bag was torn open by a brush along the path and the flour spilled on the ground.
Sometime during the Revolutionary War Jacob moved back again with his family to Mühlbach, probably to be more secure from the annoying depreciations of hostile Indians. He was drafted and served in the army, but in what capacity or for what length of time was not ascertained. His oldest son, Philip, as will be stated more fully elsewhere, was also in the army. His son Henry(1) (grandfather) was at the age of sixteen connected with an organization of "home-guards" or scouts to protect the settlement against the Indians, and served at intervals. It appears the family returned from Mühlbach to their home in Penn's township (Freeburg) before the close of the war. Indians sometimes lurked about their home, but never molested them, being afraid, perhaps, of the pack of fierce dogs kept on the place. On one occasion several Indians were observed across the clearing, some distance from the house; the boys and dogs gave chase, but did not overtake them. Several Indian families lived within a short distance of the Meyer home, and his (Mr. Meyer's) children used to play with the Indian children. During the Indian troubles the male members of these Indian families would generally be away from home, and it was suspected they were out on scalping expeditions, though they were on friendly terms with their near white neighbors.

1. Note. Grandfather (Henry), like many others of that period, had made a vow to kill every Indian he would meet. So after all hostilities had subsided, he happened to meet one of his old foes in a tavern somewhere, but the forelorn and piteous aspect of the poor Indian excited grandfather's sympathy rather than his animosity, and, instead of scalping him, he gave him a huge piece of tobacco!

Jacob kept a sort of a tavern at Straubsburg (Freeburg), and Col. Samuel Miles used to stop with him on his journeys from his home in Philadelphia to his lands in Penns, Brush and Nittany valleys (now Centre Co.) and back, and it was through the intimate acquaintance thus formed with Col. Miles that grandfather Henry came to purchase a tract of land from him in Brushvalley. It is said Jacob protested against his son's purchasing any land in Brushvalley, for the reason that there would never any roads be opened into it! Jacob and his sons used to hunt in the valley long before any settlers moved into it, and he did not suppose it would ever be any good for anything else! Yet he lived to see his mistake; for in his old age he paid a visit to his sons in the valley about the year 1803-1806, and beheld the wilderness converted into fertile fields, and the desert made to blossom as the rose.
In 1800 Christopher Meyer, son of Campbellstown Christopher, came to Freeburg (then Straubsburg), and in 1801 " Big John," another son of the latter, also settled in that vicinity. (These dates are given by Fred. C. Meyer, Freeburg.) Therefore, in 1801, there were in that place Jacob and several of his sons, and their cousins Christopher and "Big John." Grandfather Henry had then moved to Brushvalley already, and I am not quite certain whether his brother John Jacob had not moved away, also then, to Pine Creek, Lycoming County, Pa. At present there are many descendants about Freeburg of Christopher and John, but not one male descendant of great-grandfather Jacob.
Jacob was married to Miss Susan Zartman, born in Germany, so say uncle John and Reuben Meyer, grandsons. But in an old power of attorney in my possession, given by Jacob Meyer, Sr., to his son Michael, dated 1801, mention is made of Jacob's wife as being Susanna Ream, daughter of Peter Ream, Dauphin County, Pa. The instrument was given to secure the wife's legacy, and seems to be positive evidence as to her maiden name. The paper alludes to her as being then deceased. In a sketch of Michael Meyer in a history of Summit County, Ohio, her maiden name is also given as Susan Ream. One of the Greningers of Sugar Valley, Clinton County, Pa., an early settler there, was married to her sister. Great-grandmother Meyer (Jacob's wife) was not a large woman, but what she lacked in stature was fully compensated for in grit and temper. She used to whip her boys after they were full grown! Some of them were almost giants, and no doubt they could stand up and meekly take a whipping with- out suffering much pain. The boys, of whom there were six, viz.: Philip, John Jacob, John George, Henry, Michael and Christopher, were not allowed to grow up in idleness, but were early put to work. One of their occupations was weaving, ? probably during bad weather, when out-door work could not be done, and as they were rather fond of constructing things with carpenters' tools, they sometimes neglected their work at the loom ; then if their mother would discover the objects on which they were exercising their ingenuity and wasting their time, she would smash them, and pitch the fragments into the fire. The boys were careful not needlessly to expose their handicraft. Father used to say the boys were of a rather hilarious disposition, and attended all the parties and balls within reasonable distance ; they made their own violins, which some could play with considerable skill, and as their mother was opposed to gatherings of the kind, she would demolish their musical instruments without ceremony whenever misfortune would reveal to her their hiding place. It is said that on a certain occasion she dressed in disguise, went to one of the parties where the boys were in attendance, and gave them a whipping then and there. On one occasion when her son Philip had tackled a big Irishman, and got the worst of it, she remarked to him, as she beheld the rainbow tints on his face, "Well, did you get a licking again?" Philip admitted it was so, but said he was going to learn the pugilistic art, if it cost his head. And he did become proficient ! Yet she was a good mother, and labored hard and faithfully to raise her numerous family amid the hardships of frontier life, and her big sons dearly loved her, and would have sacrificed their lives in her defense.
Jacob was not a large man, was of a kindly disposition and not inclined to be quarrelsome, but it is said he seemed rather pleased when he heard that his sons came off victorious in their many pugilistic contests. Both he and his wife are buried in the old cemetery at Freeburg; neither has a tomb- stone with an inscription. Their son John George is buried in the same cemetery; as also another son, Christopher, probably. I visited the cemetery in 1883, and father had visited it a number of years before, but neither was able to locate any of the graves.

Notes:

Genealogy of the Meyer Family (1890)

Catharine (daughter of Jacob, son of Gr. Meyer) was the oldest of the family, but the dates of birth or death were not discovered. She was married to John Meyer, and the couple moved on a tract of land in Brushvalley (Centre County. Pa.), which was purchased subsequently by grand- father Henry Meyer — brother-in-law of John. The latter was one of the first settlers in the Valley, and may have located in it as earl} - as the year 1792. He cleared consider- able land, and put up the first buildings on the tract near Elk Creek, and no doubt planted the apple trees there, some of which still (1889) remain — one measuring eleven and a half feet in circumference. John Meyer had erected an oil mill at Oil Gap, some distance east of Woodward, Pa., before he came to Brushvalley, and grandfather Henry Meyer had done the mill-wright work on it. From an old receipt in my possession, I find he sold his interest in his land to grand- father Henry Meyer, May 2, 1797, and moved to Kentucky,, where he erected a distillery. Very little was heard about the family afterwards. His brother Philip, his son-in-law Jacob Kreiger and Tobias Pickle moved to Kentucky at the same time, thence some, if not all, to Ohio. Father used to say that this John Meyer was a cousin of his father; but others denied it. I could not find the link of the relationship. He was a red-headed, raw-boned man, large stature; and had been a soldier in the Revolutionary War. He was in the Battle of Brandywine, and was a brave soldier, but when the retreat began he soon outstripped all the rest running.
I have not a list of John's children, except a partial one furnished me by John P. Meyer, of Felicity, 0. He states that a Meyer family, who were cousins of his father (Philip) coming from the same place (Brushvalley), located near where his father settled. He names three brothers, viz.:John, George and Jacob ; and thinks there were three or four sisters, and mentions Susan and Mary. No doubt these were John's children. Philip could not have had any other cousins in that section. See page 43.

Barbara (daughter of Jacob, son of Gr. Meyer) was married to Michael Motz. The family lived at the east end of Pennsvalley, Centre County, Pa. Samuel Motz. a grandson, owns part of the farm now (1889). Barbara took care of her brother Henry (grandfather) while he had a malignant fever, of which his wife had died a short time before, and by careful attendance brought him through. See page 62. She and her husband are buried at St. Paul, near their home. I found the following record on a stone which marks the grave of Michael Motz: — "1830 Michael Motz, Alt, 85 years 23 tag." I could not decipher all of the inscription. Barbara, no doubt, lies by his side. From the Motz's old family Bible now in possession of Samuel Motz. who lives on the old homestead, I copy a list of Barbara's children. There were seven daughters and one son.

Revolutionary War. Served in Captain Ben Weiser's company.

From Genealogy of the Meyer Family by Henry Meyer. 1890.
Philip (son of Jacob, son of Gr. Meyer) was married to Margaret Morr, sister of his brother John Jacob's wife Julia, daughters of Andrew Morr, one of the early settlers in the region where Freeburg, Pa., is now located. The respective family histories of the Meyers and Morrs have been running in parallel streams for over a century with frequent intermingling of their branches all along their course. The first record of marriage between the two families is that of Philip Meyer and Margaret Morr, which occurred about the year 1780; and the members of the families still continue to intermarry in Ohio. Philip was the oldest of the sons; heavy built, muscular and active, but not as tall as his brothers. He was a noted wrestler in his day, and was not averse to contests of a more serious nature, as his numerous experiments in that line seem to demonstrate. But that was in an age when physical power was at a premium. The man who could leap the greatest distance, could kick the highest and hit the hardest blows was a hero and received the applause of society. There was a vast amount of hard work to do in those pioneer days, and for want of labor-saving machinery; it had to be accomplished by sheer physical force. Hence, any exercise which tended to muscular development, or exhibited physical vigor in its greatest perfection, was cherished and applauded. - Philip served in the Revolutionary War, being a member of Capt. Ben. Weiser's company. Adam Schaeffer was Lieutenant of the company, and subsequently became captain by promotion.
On his return from the army Philip settled down to domestic life near Freeburg for a number of years, thence moved to Brushvalley, Centre Co., Pa., and bought a tract of land about a mile east of the present post village of Wolfs Store. This was about the year 1802. His brother Henry had then been in the valley five years, while Michael, another brother, came three years later. Mr. Meyer, the subject of our sketch, was of a liberal disposition, - was kind to his family, generous to his neighbors, and a useful citizen in his township. For many years he was supervisor of Miles township, serving in that capacity in 1815, when the public road from Wolf's Store across the mountains to Pennsvalley was made. Philip was a consistent member of the Reformed Church, and mother states he experienced religion in his declining days and died a happy Christian. A short time before his death, he remarked to Mr. Fred. C. Meyer, of Freeburg, who visited him, "I am ready to die." He breathed his last April 27, 1831, aged 75 years, 5 months and 13 days. His wife was born Aug. 20, 1759; died March 12, 1829. Both are buried in the Lutheran and Reformed cemetery, Rebersburg, Pa. One tombstone marks the graves of both. Their descendants are legion and are all out West, mostly in Ohio and Iowa.

There were eleven children, seven sons and four daughters.

Genealogy of the Meyer Family by Henry Meyer

John George (son of Jacob, son of Gr. Meyer) came in possession of his father's farm — the old homestead, near Freeburg, Pa., which he continued to cultivate until his death. The date of his birth I have not been able to ascertain, but it is said he was next to and older than his brother Henry, and is placed in that order on the list. He died about the year 1810, says Fred. C. Meyer, of Freeburg, Pa. His disease was consumption, caused by a cherry-seed, which accidentally lodged in his lungs. He died about a year after the occurrence of the accident. George was first married to Elizabeth Buchtel, daughter of John Buchtel. She was a sister of George's brother Michael's wife Agnes, and, also, a sister of Nicholas Bierly's wife Lucy.

John Jacob (son of Jacob, son of Gr. Meyer) was married to Julia Morr, sister of his brother Philip's wife, Margaret. See note, page 41. The family moved from near Freeburg, Pa., to Pine Creek, near Jersey Shore, Pa., where a fine tract of land was purchased. At what date Jacob removed to his new home, I could not determine, but I suppose it was about the year 1800. It is said that in physical appearance he resembled his brother Henry (grandfather); they were greatly attached to each other, and visits between them were frequent. Jacob died in 1813; his illness resulting from drinking too freely at a spring of very cold water on a certain occasion when he had been overheated while out in the woods hunting. He lies buried in the old cemetery at Pine Creek, near Jersey Shore, Pa. No tombstone marks his grave. His son, Samuel, lies buried by his side. His wife, Julia, was born July 18, 1770; died Nov. 8, 1824. The descendants of this couple reside in Clinton and Lycoming counties, Pa., principally. There were twelve children, five sons and seven daughters.

See Section 1, Row 14, #7. Stone says "father". It's next to the stone for Margaret Meyer w/o Henry. The stone that reads "Henry Meyer 1795-1881 on the other side of Margaret's stone is for her step-son, Henry. It is very probable that this stone marked "father" is for Henry, the father of Henry & Jacob, and husband of Margaret. However, there is also a stone for Heinrich Meyer, 15 Oct 1764 -17 May 1820 (in German) farther along in Row 14 at #30. This stone is next to stone for his son, Wilhelm. This leaves the question of who the stone marked "father" is for.

Genealogy of the Meyer Family by Henry Meyer

Henry (son of Jacob, son of Gr. Meyer), my paternal grandfather, was married first to Mary Steese, daughter of Jacob Steese of Penns township, now Snyder County, Pa., and resided with his family near Straubsburg (Freeburg) for several years. Three of the children were born there, Henry Jacob and one — the oldest — which died in infancy. Either in 1797 or 179S the family moved into Brushvalley, Centre County, Pa., upon a tract which had been partially cleared by John Meyer who was married to grandfather's oldest sister Catharine. See page 39. Mary Steese is said to have been a very stout and strong woman and that she had charge while still single, of a grist-mill, an occupation which on account of the rude and inconvenient construction of the mills of that age, required considerable physical strength. She died in August, 1801 of a malignant fever which was- contracted while visiting with her husband her brother Frederick Steese, Snyder County (now) who was low with this fever and which he had contracted while he and his father were in Philadelphia buying goods. (Note. — Their father also took the fever in Philadelphia and died there.)

Grandfather's second wife was Margaret, daughter of John Adam Harper of Pennsvalley, who was at one time one of the associate Judges of Centre County, his term beginning in 1800. The date of the marriage I have not ascertained. Grandfather was a large man, weighing over two hundred pounds, being over six feet tall and of symmetrical build. He possessed great muscular strength and activity, and was proficient in all the athletic accomplishments of his day. Although, being of a reserved and non-aggressive disposition, he was, nevertheless, a principal in many a fierce encounter in his younger days; but it is to be hoped only in self-defense or in behalf of his friends of whom there were a legion. It is said that his brother Philip in whom the quality of meekness was not overwhelming in his earlier manhood, had, on a number of occasions to be extricated out of serious difficulties. Grandfather was well known in Centre, Snyder (now), Northumberland and other of the lower counties, in all of which he had many friends; and no doubt, not a few enemies who coveted the honor of conquering him. But he was never "knocked out." In our day a reputation of that quality is not so desirable, but in his time it was considered a proof of cowardice and consequent disgrace not to resent a real or imaginary insult b} r physical force. And it was the case, too, that a man's reputation as a pugilist was a standing challenge — a chip on the shoulder as it were — of which every other aspirant for like honors would feel in duty bound to take cognizance.

Grandfather was enrolled, as already stated, in some organization when but sixteen years old for the protection of the settlement against the Indians. He must have had a touch of the martial spirit as his connection with military organizations seems to indicate. Feb. 28, 1794 he was commissioned Major of the First Battalion 3nd Northumberland Brigade: Jan. 4, 1802, he was commissioned Lieut. Colonel of the 131. Regt. Militia, First Brigade 10th Div. composed of the counties of Mifflin, Huntingdon and Centre. I do not think he held any civil office except that of Justice of the Peace, commissioned Jan. 4, 1814, to succeed John Kryder who removed to Ohio about that date. Grandfather lived, as stated in another place, at the old home near Elk Creek, Brushvalley, until sometime after 1806 when he built a house on the main Brushvalley road, some twenty rods east of his son Reuben's present dwelling house. The barn which had been erected in 1806 stood still farther east and also along the main road. He was a millwright by trade, which occupation he followed a long time, but devoted his later years to farming. Among the grist-mills for which he performed the millwright work many be mentioned John Motz's mill, Woodward, Pa., erected in 1790; Tobias Pickle's mill now owned by J. K. Meyer, Brushvalley, erected in 1801 or 1802. I do not know that grandfather enjoyed any school privileges in his youth, yet he acquired a fair education in some way. He was an assiduous reader of both German and English books and periodicals, and wrote a beautiful hand in both languages. He was a stiff Democrat and in politics had very decided opinions. He was fond of social gatherings and as a citizen he was universally respected. He belonged to the German Reformed church and contributed liberally towards its support. Grandfather was born at Mühlbach, Lancaster (now Lebanon) county. Oct. 15, 1764, where his folks resided until about the year 1768-1770, when they re- moved to Straubsburg. See page 34. He died May 17, 1820. His death was quite sudden. Returning from a trip to Jersey Shore, Pa., he caught a severe cold which resulted in Brain fever, delirium and death. He had been an affectionate husband, a kind father and had been loved with tender affection by his family, and when his wife and children, gathered round his bier to gaze upon his face for the last time, mother says, they were overwhelmed with grief and sorrow. His second wife survived him many years; she died Feb. 27, 1871, aged 83 years 7 months 27 days: both are buried in the Lutheran and Reformed cemetery at Rebersburg. Pa.

There were ten children who reached maturity; of these, it is said, Dr. Jonathan Meyer most nearly resembled his father in physical feature.

From Genealogy of The Morr Family. Julia Morr and her Descendants - chapter IX
Catherine (Julia, Andrew,) was born in Penn's township, Northumberland County, Pa., near Freeburg, December 2, 1788; died March 13, 1858. She was married to George Meyer,* her cousin. He was born at Campbellstown, Lebanon county, Pa., March 25, 1782 ; died January 1, 1854 ; both are buried in the Reformed Cemetery, Aaronsburg, Pa. Catherine was a woman of small stature; was of a very kind, benevolent disposition, and greatly esteemed by her friends and neighbors for her many noble qualities.

* George Meyer came into Penn's Valley, Centre County, Pa., in 1837, locating on Pine Creek, south of Aaronsburg, Pa., where he purchased a farm and a mill site on which a grist mill was erected. (Property of John George Morr.) Mr. Meyer was a man of stout physical frame and great strength, but was inferior in that respect to his giant brothers, Henry, John and Michael. The Meyers were nearly all fine singers; many of them have been from generation to generation instructors in music, both vocal and instrumental, and have been leaders of choirs in the churches of the neighborhoods in which they resided. George Meyer led singing in the Reformed Church, Campbellstown, Pa., from the time he was sixteen years of age (1798) until 1827 when he removed to the vicinity of Aaronsburg, Pa. He led the singing in the Reformed Church, Aaronsburg, from 1827-32. Mr. Meyer was passionately fond of the chase, and often in company with near relatives, and others, indulged in this exhilarating pastime. His place was a recognized headquarters of the sporting fraternity of the neighborhood, and among those who frequently visited them were the famous hunters of that period, the Roush brothers.

The father of these children taught two terms of school after his marriage. He began housekeeping upon a rented farm in Haines township, and to agricultural pursuits mainly devoted his attention until his death at the age of forty-seven years. He was never a robust man, and catching cold, it developed into consumption, which caused his death. Politically he was a Democrat, and religiously he was a member of the German Re- formed Church. His wife survived him only about two and one-half years.

Henry (George, Christopher, Gi. Meyer), was born July 27, 1809; died March 9, 1877. Intermarried with Elizabeth Stover. Lived on a farm south of Aaronsburg.
In physical appearance Henry and his brother John could hardly be distinguished from each other. So close was the resemblance that John, it is said, on a certain occasion when away from home, seeing himself in a large mirror which extended the full length of one side of a room, imagined it was his brother, and stepped forward to shake hands, remarking, "Why, Henry, when did you come?"

Page 321 COMMEMORATIVE BIOGRAPHICAL RECORD.
A. J. STOVER, a prominent citizen of Coburn, Centre county, is a retired agriculturist who after many years of well-directed labor can gather the rewards thereof at leisure. He was born January 27, 1846, in Haines township. Centre county, where his ancestors settled at a very early day, his grandfather, Adam Stover, having been a pioneer farmer.
Andrew Stover, our subject's father, was born and reared there and learned the carpenter's trade. His parents having a small farm and a large family, he was obliged to make his own way in life from the start. He was industrious and frugal, and won a high place in the esteem of the community. In politics he was a Democrat, and he was a leading member of the Lutheran Church. At an early age he married Miss Polly Moyer (or Meyer, as the name was originally spelled), a daughter of George Moyer, a well known farmer. They began housekeeping near Coburn, and for a number of years Andrew Stover was engaged in general carpenter work, but when nearly forty years old he purchased forty acres of land in Haines township, Centre county, and followed farming until his death. He died at the age of fifty-four, and his mortal remains were laid to rest in Wolfe's Chapel cemetery. His widow, who was born January 20, 1814, and is consequently eighty-four years old, is now living with our subject.
They reared a large family, as follows:
Julia is Mrs. Enoch Kramer, of Haines township. Centre county;
George M. is a carpenter of Aaronsburg;
Daniel M. is a carpenter of Haines township, Centre county;
Israel M. lives in Berrien county, Mich.;
Catherine married Franklin Detwilder, and died at Aaronsburg;
John is a resident of Berrien county, Mich.;
A. J. is our subject;
Benjamin lives in Haines township, Centre county;
Jacob,
Monroe,
Jeff
and James, all resided in Berrien county, Mich.;
Henrietta died at the age of twenty-one years;
and Elizabeth, who married Henry Kramer, went west, and for twelve years has not been heard from.
A. J. Stover's early education was such as the common schools of his day afforded. As his parents had but limited means most of the children left home early to make a living, and he was the only one of the boys who remained until of age. He was eighteen years old when his father died, and the will confided to his care the mother and younger children. This commission he fulfilled, all his work at the homestead being done for the mother and family. At twenty-one he was married in Haines township, Centre county, to Miss Annie Stover, a native of the township and a daughter of Martin Stover. His savings at this time amounted to nearly $150, and he made a beginning as a farmer by renting forty acres of land in Penn township, Centre county, where he spent six years. Having prospered, he rented a larger farm in Haines township. Centre county, and lived there three years. In the spring of 1878 he purchased his first farm, a tract of eighty-seven acres in Haines township. Centre county, and although he went $3,600 in debt, he enjoyed at last the satisfaction of having a home that he could call his own. He remained there until the spring of 1895, when he removed to his present home in Coburn. He now owns over 240 acres of land, and is regarded as one of the substantial citizens of the locality.
Mr. Stover's four children by the first marriage are all residents of Centre county: Ammon A. is a farmer of Haines township; Warren F. is a farmer of Gregg township; William resides in Haines township; and Katy married John Hess, of Haines township. The mother of this little family died in February, 1886, and was buried in Wolfe's Chapel cemetery. On February 16, 1888, Mr. Stover was married in Haines township to Miss Eve Stover, a sister of his first wife, and there is one child by this union, Martin A., who is at home.
Mr. Stover has not only proved himself a successful business man, but he has always taken a prominent part in the local work of the Democratic party, and has held the office of supervisor for three terms. He is a member of the Reformed Church, in which he has been a deacon, and he is interested in all that tends to promote the good of the community.

Other Events:

• Occupation: Music teacher, musician
• Occupation: 1869; In the fall of 1869, he was elected a member of the Pennsylvania Legislature, and served very acceptably during his term of office.

Notes:

Jacob G. was the youngest child of the family, and enjoys the distinction of being a descendant through a line of youngest sons, beginning with Christopher, son of Henry Meyer, who came from Germany. He is one of the youngest of his generation, third from the Henry Meyer just mentioned, a generation that is now (1894) almost extinct. Jacob has passed the greater part of his life near the scenes of his youth, Perm's Valley, Centre county, Pa., engaged in various enterprises, and at present lives at Aaronsburg, retired from active business pursuits. In his younger days he was an efficient teacher in the schools of his neighborhood, but he turned his attention principally to music both vocal and instrumental, and soon took a high stand as a skillful instructor and leader in both branches. He began to teach music when but fifteen years of age. He is the author of a number of musical compositions which are considered fine productions, and have been deservedly popular. Jacob is a lover of music; all his family were musicians, and his home has for years been the headquarters for the musical geniuses of his neighborhood. He devoted the best days of his life to the teaching of the science in the singing-school and convention in his own and neighboring towns. Jacob is recognized as a man of fine intelligence, and he has exerted an amount of influence for good in the church, in education and in the numerous public questions which have from time to time come be- fore the people for solution. He is a member of the Reformed Church, is liberal in her support and faithful in her doctrine, yet cherishing sentiments of charity toward other denominations. Politically he has always been a staunch Democrat, and has ever taken an active stand in defense of his party and its principles. In the fall of 1869, he was elected a member of the Pennsylvania Legislature, and served very acceptably during his term of office. He is a self-made man, never having enjoyed the advantages of higher instruction, except a short time at Lewisburg Academy. In stature he is tall, but not very heavy; light complexion; in voice, manner, and feature, he is a fair type of the Meyer tribe.

PASSING OF DANIEL MEYER
Old Resident of Dakota, Ill. died at Age of 87 years Sunday morning at about 2 o'clock of Sep 29. Daniel Meyer passed away at his late residence in the village of Dakota after a lingering illness due to old age and a severe paralytic stroke, at the ripe age of 87 years 7 months and 5 days. The funeral took place Wednesday afternoon at 1:30 o'clock at Dakota, the Rev FA Hoerner of the United Evangelical Church officiating assisted by Rev Storer of the ME Church and Rev HW Tyler, Lutheran church, Dakota and internment followed at the family lot in the cemetery of said village by the side of his faithful bosom companion who shared with him the joys, trials, and cares incident to this life for more than 64 years and preceded her husband to the endless beyond in December, 1915.

The departed one was a son of Henry and Hannah (nee Bierly) Meyer, unto whom were born nine children in the Keystone state, all of whom, with their parents, have entered upon their eternal mission, except one. Henry Meyer of Rebersburg, Centre County, PA who is the only surviving one of his prominent family.

Early in life the deceased united with the Evangelical Association and later with the United Evangelical church and continued steadfast in the faith of this church until the end. He was a pioneer as well as an old settler of Stephenson County and was highly esteemed and respected by all that gained his acquaintance.

In 1851 he was united in wedlock with Miss Matilda Rebecca Smull in Miles township, Centre County, PA and together they shared the joys and sorrows of life for 64 years, his companion preceding him in death 1 Dec 1915. To this union were born four sons and five daughters, six of whom passed away in death and three surviving are present. Those who died were Newton Henry, who was accidentally shot while hunting when 18 years of age; Peter David, who died at the age of 14 years; Thomas Ephram, who was married to Miss Hilda Nelson of Rockford; Sarah An, who was married to George McGilligan of Janesville, IA; and two daughters died in infancy. The surviving children are: John F Meyer of Dakota; Mrs Edward Lauck, Peabody, KS, and Mrs Lincoln Goodman, Rock City, Ill. Fifteen grandchildren and sixteen great grandchildren also survive.

In his youthful years the deceased served an apprenticeship at cabinet making with Major John Meyer in his native locality, and for several years worked at this trade, but being desirous of bettering their condition, they elected to seek their fortune in the then regarded far west and after a long and tedious journey, they reached this locality on 31 Dec 1853, and have resided here until the Death Angel gathered them to their immortal home.

After reaching Illinois, Mr Meyer soon discovered that his trade was of no practical benefit to him, an he therefore concluded to change his vocation and followed farming at which calling he made a success. After reaching an age when farm labor became too burdensome he retired in 1895 and resided in the village of Dakota enjoying a well earned rest in his declining years.

Those present at the funeral from a distance besides the ones mentioned heretofore were Grant Burbank; Rockford; Mrs Hilda Meyer and son Evans, Pecatonica; Mr Nate Colby and wife, Davis; Mr & Mrs PO Stiver, Mrs Frank Duck, Mrs Henry Pash, Mr & Mrs Oscar Smull, and Mrs Lizzie Bowers, Freeport; Jacob Meyers and daughter, Elkhorn, Wis; Mr & Mrs Myron Smull and Mrs & Mrs Frank Smith, McConnell; and Edward Weirick, Stockton.

The family return thanks to neighbors and friends for sympathy and assistance during their bereavement.

Notes:

Author of Genealogy of the Meyer Family. 1890.

Henry — author of this book — was born in Miles township, Centre County, Pa., Dec. 8, 1840. It is not considered good taste for one to "blow his own horn." I shall, therefore, be very brief. I was brought up on father's farm doing such work as usually falls to the lot of farmer boys; and during the Winter season attended, two or three months in a term, the common schools of the neighborhood. In the Spring of 1860 I left home to learn the millwright trade with John Todd, then residing at Potters Mills, Pa., — a trade which both father and grandfather had followed before me. Whatever spare time I had was generally devoted to reading, and the study of mathematics or other subjects that had a bearing on my trade. Sometime in August, 1862, I returned home and on the 19th of that month enlisted in the army for "three years or during the war." A number of my old comrades enlisted about the same time and we were a few days later organized at Camp Curtin, Harrisburg, Pa., as Company "A" of the 148. Regt. P. V. We went through the usual disciplinary stages of the volunteer soldier, and first got down to serious business at Chancellorsville, Va., May, 1863. There was in me a slight leaven of the military spirit, and the boom of cannon, the shriek of the shells, the roar of the musketry, the cheer of the Union Soldiers and the yell of the Rebels reverberating through the deep woods raised my enthusiasm to the highest pitch, and I felt as though I could myself vanquish a whole regiment of the enemy! That was while we lay on the picket line in an opposite direction and at a tolerably safe distance from the disturbance. But later on after a better acquaintance with the serious work before us, when those shrieking missiles began to come uncomfortably close and streams of mangled boys in blue came passing by us to the rear, then, well then, it must be confessed, my ardor abated very considerably. That was the mental and moral experience, I believe, of most of the soldiers. I was in every battle in which the regiment was engaged until my discharge, among which were those of Chancellorsville, Gettysburg, Auburn Mills, Mine Run, the Wilderness and Po River or Laurel Hill, besides several skirmishes of lesser note. Never being in the hospital I took in all. I was slightly wounded at Chancellorsville, but more seriously at Po River, May 10, 1864; a minnie ball passing through my left hand near the wrist which necessitated amputation and which operation was performed May 17, 1864. by A. F. Sheldon, Surgeon in charge of Campbell Hospital, Washington, P. C. I was discharged at my own request in September following, came home and entered the Rebersburg Select School then in progress. The mutilated condition of my corporeal part rendered my trade useless to me and it became necessary to mark out a new course for the future. I taught school during the following Winter ('64 and '65), went to school again the next Summer and thus continued teaching and going to school alternately for several years. In 1866 I attended the Union Seminary, New Berlin, Pa., and in the Fall of 1868 I entered the Keystone State Normal School at Kutztown, Pa., graduating with first honors the Spring following. I assisted Supt. R. M. Magee in the Centre County Normal School for a number of years. In May, 1S75, I was elected County Superintendent of Common Schools of Center Co., for a term of three years, and was re-elected without opposition to the same office May, 1878. In the Fall of 1882 I was elected a member of the State Legislature, which, for reasons that need not be stated here, was in continuous session from Jan. 2, 1883, to Dec. 6, same year. I was married at Unionville. Centre Co., Pa., Jan. 18, 1872, to Martha Jane, daughter of Thomas J. Taylor ; and have lived ever since at Rebersburg. Pa.
