Notes - Due to his large stature he was known as "Big Henry" Meyer. He owned the old homestead near Boalsburg.
From the Genealogy of the Meyer Family by Henry Meyer, 1890.
Henry (Henry, Christopher, Gr. Meyer) owned the
old homestead near Boalsburg, a farm of great fertility.
He was a man of intelligence and was prominent in his
section ; a lover of music and a fine singer. He was a con-
sistent member of the German Reformed Church, to which
denomination his parents and all his brothers and sisters
belonged I believe. On account of his large stature he was
familiarly know as "big Henry Meyer." Henry was born
Sept. 30, 1810; died of paralysis Oct. 5, 1888. He had been
suffering for about a year. His wifes' maiden name was
Catharine Hoffer; she was born March 25, 1817; died June
19, 1878. Both are buried at Boalsburg.
