    • GENEALOGY OF THE MEYER FAMILY by Henry Meyer, 1890

      Henry, married to Sarah Miller. He was born Jan. 28, 1815; died Nov. 1, 1881. His wife was born Jan. 1, 1819. Henry owned the old homestead and his widow and two sons reside there now (1883). I visited there several times during the Summer of 1883, and received many facts for this sketch from the widow and from papers which she kindly permitted me to examine. It was she who gave me the information about the original buildings near the spring. Her husband's grandmother, Catharine (Schaeffer) Meyer, used to say that the buildings had been put up by the "old folks", that is, by the Meyers who came from Germany. (See page 18.) Charles M. Zerba, Esq., of Lebanon, Pa., writes me, June 25, 1888, that the farm which had been in possession of the Meyers so many generations, has at last passed into other hands, J. Monroe Zimmerman now owning it. See note, page 15. But this does not include the whole of the original tract, only the eastern part or half. Children : Sarah, married to Uriah Kryder ; Henry, married Clarissa Dissinger, great-granddaughter of the Schaefferstown Christopher Meyer. Henry was born March 3, 1850, died Feb. 25, 1886. He and his brother Thomas lived on the old farm at the spring and were the last Meyer owners of it. Ida Christina, married to John Achey, lives at Lebanon. Pa.; Thomas, married Celicia Strickler.
