From The Genealogy of the Meyer Family by Henry Meyer, 1890.
Philip H.: born near Boalsburg, Pa., April 19, 1851;
during his minority assisted his father on the farm and
attended the public schools of the neighborhood in which he
acquired a fair education. His father being a lover and
friend of music the children were introduced to the subject
at an early day, and Philip soon gave evidence of more than
ordinary talent in that direction. He applied himself unre-
mittingly during his spare moments from farm duties to the
study and practice of his favorite theme, and soon acquired
a reputation as an excellent musician. He attended a musi-
cal institution of Philadelphia for a brief period and of
course had presented to his ready mind man}- suggestions
which his self-discipline at home had failed to reveal to him.
Beyond this he has not enjoyed the advantages afforded by
higher grade institutions and his efficiency as a class
instructor and skill as a performer on musical instruments
are due mainly to his own unaided study- and constant prac-
tice sustained by his love and natural ability for his work.
At present he devotes all his time to teaching music both
vocal and instrumental.
