  • Notes 
    • from The Genealogy of the Meyer Family by Henry Meyer, 1890.
      George (Michael, Christopher, Gr. Meyer), was born
      near Campbellstown, Lebanon County, Pa., March 1, 1806.
      He was married to Anna Fox, who was born Feb. 24, 1806.
      George was a miller by trade which occupation he followed
      a number of years, but later in life purchased a farm near
      State College, Pa., and devoted his remaining days to farm-
      ing. He was a man of excellent qualities, intelligent, honest,
      social and industrious. He labored zealouslj" for the pro-
      motion of every good cause in his neighborhood, and the
      welfare of the church and the school were especially dear to
      his heart. In conversation he was both instructive and
      entertaining. Politically he was a staunch Democrat. The
      subject of this sketch was a member of the German Reformed
      Church, and exemplified his profession by a consistent
      Christian life. He died at his home Feb. 15, 1889, from
      Paralysis after a brief illness of but a few hours. He is
      buried at Boalsburg, Pa. His wife died March 21, 1874, and
      is also buried at Boalsburg.
