    Notes:

    from The Genealogy of the Meyer Family by Henry Meyer, 1890.
    William, born at Freeburg, Pa., Sept 27, 1834; mar-
    ried Dec. 18, 1860, Sarah C, daughter of John A. and Amelia
    Hilbish of Montgomery Ferry, Perry County, Pa his wife
    was born at Liverpool, Perry Co., Pa., Mar. 2, 1837. During
    his youth William assisted his father about the hotel, store
    and farm, and attended schools of his town. From 1848
    to 1853 he attended schools of a higher grade, among them
    being Berrysburg Classical Institute; Select School at Selins-
    grove; Tuscarora Academy; Perrysburg Seminary and Free-
    burg Academy. In the interim he also acquired the art of
    marble cutting, working under instructions in Philadelphia in
    1852. Like all the Meyer descendants of his great grand-
    father Christopher, William is a noted musician and ha&
    taught classes in vocal music in Dauphin, Juniata, Northum-
    berland, Union and Centre Counties, and in almost every
    school district in his own County (Snyder). From 1854 to-
    1858 he taught in the public schools of Freeburg. In 1858
    he was elected County surveyor, for a term of three years,
    and in 1863 he was elected County Superintendent of com-
    mon schools of Snyder County, and served in that capacity
    until 1872. He was re-elected to the same office for a fourth
    term in 1881. In June, 1879, Franklin and Marshall College
    conferred upon him the honorary degree of Master of Arts.
    He was appointed Notary Public in 1864; elected Justice of
    the Peace in 1875, and is now (1890) serving his third term.
    Besides the official positions above enumerated he held a
    number of minor appointments of trust such as assignee,^
    guardian, executor and administrator of estates. He has
    had charge of the Vocal Department in the Musical College
    Freeburg, since its establishment, and is the musical conduc-
    tor of its annual conventions. William is a member of the
    German Reformed church and has always been prominently
    connected with all movements in his section for the promo-
    tion of every good cause. In May, 1855, he was elected super-
    intendent of the Lutheran and Reformed Sunday-school of
    his village and has filled that position now thirty-four years,
    representing his school in many S. School conventions in his
    County and his County in State Associations held in Phila-
    delphia, Lancaster, Williamsport, Johnstown and Sunbury.
    He has held many positions in his church which for want of
    space cannot be enumerated here. It will be observed the
    subject of this sketch has occupied many positions of useful-
    ness and trust in his life time, and we can pronounce no-
    greater eulogy upon him than by saying that in all of them
    he acquitted himself with honor, integrity and efficiency.

    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.
