    Notes:

    From the Genealogy of the Meyer Family by Henry Meyer, 1890.
    John (son of Christopher son of Gr. Meyer), familiarly known as "big John", emigrated from Campbellstown to a farm near Freeburg, Pa., in 1801, a year after his brother Christopher settled there. John, as his nickname implies, was a very large man and possessed great physical strength, but was good-natured. He and his cousin Henry (grand-father) were the most prominent figures in the "racket" between the Meyers and Hartleys at Middleburg, Pa., on a certain occasion. It is said he often visited his brothers and cousins in Centre County. In his time the ties of loyalty to the 'clan' were stronger than seems to be the case now. His wife's maiden name was Esther Burkholder. He died July 17, 1842; lies buried at Freeburg. There were ten children, six sons and four daughters.

    COMMEMORATIVE BIOGRAPHICAL RECORD. Page 530

    George Meyer was the first of the family to come to Haines township, Centre county. He was born in Campbelltown, March 25, 1782, and in 1827 came to Centre county, buying a farm and millsite on Pine creek, where he erected a mill. He was a giant in strength, yet inferior to his brothers, Henry, John and Michael. He married Catharine Meyer, who was born December 2, 1788, a daughter of John Jacob Meyer, and died March 13, 1858. He passed away January 1, 1854, and was buried with his wife at Aaronsburg, Centre county. Their family constituted the following children: George, born January 13, 1806...; John, a farmer by occupation, died in Penn's Valley, January 28, 1878; Catharine married Andrew Harter, and died in Penn's Valley, October 3, 1S72; Henry died in Haines township. Centre county, March 9, 1877; Mary wedded Andrew Stover, and lives in Penn's Valley; Philip died in Haines township, June 25, 1876; and Jacob G., a resident of Aaronsburg, at one time represented his district in the State Legislature.



    From The Meyer Family Tree compiled by John D. Meyer, Tyrone, PA, October, 1937,
    In 1827 with his family moved to Center Co., PA purchasing a farm and mill site on Pine Creek one mile east of Coburn where he erected a grist mill. He was an accomplished singer. He was especially fond of the chase and his home was always headquarters for the hunters during the season.



    George Meyer came into Penn's Valley, Centre county, Pa., in 1837, locating on Pine Creek, south of Aaronsburg, Pa., where he purchased a farm and a mill site on which a grist mill was erected. (Property of John George Morr.) Mr. Meyer was a man of stout physical frame and great strength, but was inferior in that respect to his giant brothers, Henry, John and Michael. The Meyers were nearly all fine singers; many of them have been from generation to generation instructors in music, both vocal and instrumental, and have been leaders of choirs in the churches of the neighborhoods in which they resided. George Meyer led singing in the Reformed Church, Campbellstown, Pa., from the time he was sixteen years of age (1798) until 1827 when he removed to the vicinity of Aaronsburg, Pa. He led the singing in the Reformed Church, Aaronsburg, from 1827-32. Mr. Meyer was passionately fond of the chase, and often in company with near relatives, and others, indulged in this exhilarating pastime. His place was a recognized headquarters of the sporting fraternity of the neighborhood, and among those who frequently visited them were the famous hunters of that period, the Roush brothers. — Meyer Genealogy.

    GENEALOGY OF THE MEYER FAMILY by Henry Meyer, 1890

    John (John, John, Gr. Meyer) was married, first, to Lizzie Strickler, 2nd, to Christina Lise. He owned the old Mühlbach home after his brother Michael. Died, May 9, 1851, aged seventy-two and one-half years about. Lies buried at the Mühlbach church.

    ISSUE, FIRST WIFE—LIZZIE STRICKLER:
    1. George, married, first Lizzie Becker, second, Leah Stoucher. He was born in 1804 at Mühlbach and was raised there. At present (1883) he lives at Dauphin, north of Harrisburg, Pa., where his sons carry on a butcher shop. I visited him in the Spring of 1883 and received from him many facts in relation to the Meyers of his branch of the family. Children: Rebecca, married Ed. Ebach; John, dec’d, married Sarah Smith. (These were children of the first wife, Lizzie Becker.) The following were children of the second wife: George, married to Margaret Haney; Henry; Michael; William, — had been a soldier in the late war; Noah; Catharine, married to John Walters; Sarah, married to Mr. Glouch.
    2. Catharine, married to John Witters.
    3. John, married to Magdalena Meyer, a daughter of the Schaefferstown Christopher Meyer, and consequently, a grand-daughter of John Henry Meyer. (See pages 30-32.) He lives on the western part of the old Mühlbach tract. I visited him in the Fall of 1883 and received considerable information for these pages from the family. He was born in 1808 or 1809, and is still living, Nov. 1889. His wife is dead. Children : — John H., born 1835, married to Amanda Robinson, lives also on the old Mühlbach tract. William H. H., married to Lizzie Robinson, sister of John's wife; Amanda; Agnes, married Charles Garman; Monroe, married to Frances Stover; Tillie, married to John Stover.
    4. Michael, was born Nov. 19, 1810; is married to Lucy Ann Krall. The family lives about one and a half miles south-west of the Miihlbaeh homestead. Michael is a pleasant and intelligent gentleman, and is quite well posted on Meyer history. He is of short stature, as most of his great-grandfather John's descendants are. He says, we call the Campbellstown Meyers (Christopher's sons) the "big Meyers". He remembers how, when he was a boy, the Pennsvalley (Centre County) Meyers used to send hounds in boxes to his father. All the Meyers of that period were hunters. I visited the family twice in 1883. Children: — Israel, born in 1835, married first to Catharine Betts, second, to Caroline Friese, lives in Ohio ; Levi, married Eda Heckman, lives in Ohio ;
    Catharine, married to Wm. Miller, she died in 1880; Solomon, married Catharine Banter, lives at Schaefferstown, Pa.; Caroline, married Frank Goss; John, married to Amanda Royer.
    5. Elizabeth, married to J. B. Smith of Berks County, Pa., who represented his county three successive terms in the Legislature.

    ISSUE WITH SECOND WIFE — CHRISTINA LISE:
    6. 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. 2(5, 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.
    7. Mary, married Henry Fisher. Indiana.
    8. Sarah, married Cyrus Kryder.

    1. John, married to Anna Behm. He died in 1855, aged 51 years. Children: John, married to Catharine Keim. He is deceased; Henry (dec'd), married to Lovina Miller; Michael B., born March 20, 1845, died at Harrisburg, Pa., July 13, 1889. Disease, congestive fever. Lies buried at Deny, Dauphin Co. He was married to Fannie Strickler. She was born Jan. 13, 1847. Michael lived formerly at Deny, Dauphin Co., where he owned a fine farm. He was a man of intelligence, and influential in his locality, having filled at different periods nearly all the elective offices of his township. In 1877 he resigned the office of school-director to become County Commissioner of Dauphin County, which position he filled two terms. At the time of his death he was Prison Warden at Harrisburg, which office he had held over two years. Michael had been raised by his uncle, Mr. Behm, ex-commissioner of Dauphin County; he was a poor boy, but by a close application to his books, he acquired a good education in the schools of his neighborhood, and by industry and perseverance amassed considerable property. During Lee's invasion of Pennsylvania Michael shouldered the musket in defense of our State against the Confederates. In politics he was a thorough Republican, and in a political contest was seldom vanquished. He was a man of large stature, noble bearing, benevolent disposition, greatly beloved by his family and highly esteemed by his numerous friends. I visited the family at Deny in the Fall of 1883 and again in 1889 at Harrisburg. Widow Meyer is at present filling the office of Prison Warden left vacant by the death of her husband. The couple were married Nov. 6, 1866, and had nine children. Children: Annie M.; Frances F.; Harvey S.; Ada S.; Lizzie G.; Clara S.; John S.; Emma S.: Mary V.

    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

    Samuel (Michael, Christopher, Gr. Meyer) was born
    near Campbellstown, Pa., Jan. 9, 1810; he was married to
    Elizabeth Behler, Sept. 13, 1832. His wife was born Jan. 8
    1815; died May 21, 1867. Samuel moved from Dauphin
    County, Pa., in the Spring of 1833, upon a farm at Spring
    Bank, Brushvalley, Centre Co., Pa., and there began house-
    keeping. He lived in the Valley for many years, and there
    all his children seventeen in number were born. Thence
    he moved to Hiawatha, Kansas, but in what year I have not
    ascertained. Samuel is remembered by his neighbors in
    Brushvalley as a consistent member of the German Reformed
    Church; and as a Republican in politics. No doubt he still
    adheres to his old convictions. March 11, 1884, I received a
    letter from him, enclosing a list of his children. Mr. Meyer
    had resided in Stephenson County. III., before moving to
    Kansas.

    Notes:

    COMMEMORATIVE BIOGRAPHICAL RECORD. 299
    JACOB S. MEYER, a leading citizen and farmer of Penn township, Centre county, is a representative of one of the oldest and most highly respected families of central Pennsylvania. The first of the family to cross the Atlantic to America is supposed to have borne the name of Henry Meyer, who was a native of Palatinate, Prussia, and arrived here some time between the years 1721 and 1725. The spelling of the name has often been changed, and the Mayers and Moyers of Centre county belong to the same family of which our subject is a member. His father has always spelled the name Moyer, which practice had its origin in rather a peculiar way. While at school, a copy was written by his teacher, in which the name was spelled Moyer, and the pupils told that such was correct. Impressed with the knowledge of their teacher, they have retained the spelling until recent years, when the error was rectified, and the proper spelling adopted by quite a number, including our subject. An extensive genealogy of the Meyer family has been compiled by Hon. Henry Meyer, of Rebersburg, Centre county — a volume which reflects credit upon the author, as it has required 3 years of research and much travel to complete.
    On coming to the New World, Henry Meyer located in the southeastern part of Lebanon (then Lancaster county), Penn., near the beautiful spring which forms the source of Mill brook. In his family were four sons and one or two daughters, but nothing is known of the latter. John lived upon the old farm in Lebanon county, where he died December 11, 1786. Jacob left Lebanon county in 1768, and with his family located in that part of Penn township. Centre county, which is now Snyder county, where he died, and he now lies buried in Freeburg, Penn.
    Christopher was the great-grandfather of our subject. Michael never married. Christopher Meyer owned a large tract of land near Campbelltown, Lebanon county, where he made his home, and there died August 2, 1810. His children were Henry, John, Michael, Jacob, Christopher, George, Catharine, Christina and Mary. Of this family, Jacob Meyer was the grandfather of our subject. He was born March 25, 1774, and on reaching manhood married Anna Sheller, who was born in Lancaster county, December 25, 1775, and was a daughter of Adam Sheller. Eight children graced their union, namely: Elizabeth, born February 26, 1801, married Henry Witmer, and died in Centre Hall, Penn., in 1868; Jacob, born August 5, 1802, died September 14, 1867, at Penn Hall; Nancy, born September 14, 1804, married Samuel Kryder, and died September 23, 1886; Catharine, born January 1, 1806, died in Penn township. Centre county, in March, 1894; Mary, born December 7, 1807, married Jacob Fisher, and died in Illinois; Susan, born November 30, 1808, died in Penn township, August 13, 1873; Christopher, born in October, 1812, was a farmer of Penn township, where he died June 2, 1873; and John, the father of our subject, completes the family.
    In March, 1828, the grandfather came to Penn township, locating on the pike west of Millheim, and became one of the most substantial farmers of Penn's Valley. On coming to the county he had practically laid aside active business cares, but purchased 270 acres of fine land for the benefit of his children, whom he left in comfortable circumstances. His death occurred September 25, 1853, while his wife died March 25, 1850, and both were interred in the Heckman cemetery. He was a man of fine physique, over six feet in height, of a most kindly disposition, making no enemies, and always sacrificing himself to avoid a quarrel. He was a prominent member of the Penns Creek Church, Reformed and Lutheran, to which he was a liberal contributor, and was a stanch Democrat in politics.
    The birth of John Meyer occurred in Annville township, Lebanon county, September 14, 1814, and he was therefore fourteen years of age at the time of his removal with his parents to Centre county. In school he learned very rapidly, and was soon able to read and write both English and German, whilst in mathematics he surpassed most of the scholars who were several years his senior. When a young man he clerked in the store of his brother-in-law, Mr. Witmer, at Aaronsburg, but, aside from this and several terms passed in teaching, his life has been that of a farmer. He taught the Cross Road school, in Gregg township. Centre county, in 1842, when seventy-five pupils were enrolled, some studying German, the others English. Teachers were then required to pass an examination only in reading, writing, orthography and arithmetic, and never but once was he examined in geography. For four terms he engaged in teaching at $17 per month, out of which he had to board himself.
    On June 16, 1853, in Penn township, John Meyer was united in marriage with Miss Eleanor Smith, who was born October 1, 1827, in what was then Gregg but is now Penn township. Her parents, Francis and Anna (Koons) Smith, were natives of Dauphin county, Penn., but were married in Centre county, and had seven children: John, who died in Smithtown, Penn township; Joseph, who lives in Gregg township; Eleanor, mother of our subject; William, who died in Penn township; Mary, wife of Eli Smith, of Penn township; Robert, who died in Gregg township; and Jacob, formerly a resident of Potter township. Centre county, now deceased. The father of this family died when over eighty years of age, while his wife had passed her eighty-fifth birthday. Both were members of the Evangelical Church, and politically he was a Democrat. By trade he was both a mason and cooper. To the parents of our subject were born but two children, the other being John F. , who was born December 12, 1856, and died December 16, 1863.
    After his marriage, John Meyer located on the farm where he has since resided, it being the homestead of his father, who left it to his three sons, John, Jacob and Christopher, while to his daughters he gave money. For many years John operated the place in partnership with Jacob, but on the latter's death purchased the entire amount, to which he has since added the farm of his father-in-law, making a valuable tract of 275 acres. His political support has always been given the Democracy, and he has been called upon to till almost every township office, being assessor for three terms, school director, tax collector, overseer of the poor, supervisor, auditor and clerk of election. On October 23, 1880, he was elected elder of the Salem Reformed Church, of which he has been a prominent member for years, and he not only contributed liberally toward the erection of the house of worship, but boarded the mechanics during its construction at the lowest possible price. Previously to being made elder he served as deacon of the congregation. He is exceptionally well preserved for a man of his age, in full possession of his mental faculty, and as his tastes have always inclined him to reading and study, he is well informed on the current issues and questions of the day.
    Upon the farm which is still his home, Jacob S. Meyer, the subject proper of this review, was born April 13, 1854, and in the country schools of the neighborhood he obtained his elementary education, his first teacher being Mary Stephen. After completing his literary course in the academy at Penn Hall, he was licensed to teach, and for one term had charge of the Murray school in Gregg township.
    On December 20, 1874, in Aaronsburg, Mr. Meyer was married, by Rev. Cyrus H. Reiter, of the Reformed Church, to Miss Susan C. Bitner, who was born in Potter township. Centre county, September 7, 1854, and was the fourth in order of birth in the family of eight children of Jacob and Catharine (Catherman) Bitner, farming people. The Catherman family was a remarkable one, Mrs. Bitner attending a re-union when the entire family of seventeen were all present, and this being after they had reached adult age.
    Five children have been born to Mr. and Mrs. Meyer: (1) John F., born March 11, 1875, is a very bright and promising young man, a graduate of Franklin and Marshall College, which he entered at the age of fifteen, in September, 1890. He graduated in June, 1894, having taken first honor of his class. He then turned his attention to the profession of teaching, and in September, 1894, was elected principal of the public schools of Alexandria, Huntingdon Co., Penn. In the fall of 1 896 he resigned his position, being elected assistant principal of F. and M. Academy, where he taught one year, but resigned in June, 1897. Not being satisfied with the standard of his profession, he entered Johns Hopkins University, Baltimore, Md., in September, 1897. (2) Harry N., born May 19, 1877, is a successful teacher with a bright future before him. Not being satisfied with what he received in the public schools at home, he entered the Millersville State Normal, Lancaster county, Penn., in September, 1897, in order to fit himself for the profession of teaching. (3) Eleanor B., born September 26, 1879, has inherited a taste for music, possessing great natural talents for the art, which are stimulated to rapid development by the atmosphere of music pervading her father's home. (4) Catherine, born January 18, 1890, and (5) Helen G., born July 20, 1892, are also at home. Being a fine vocalist, Mr. Meyer has engaged in teaching singing during the winter seasons. He is a warm supporter of the Democratic party, and has served as assessor five terms, supervisor and school director. In the Salem Reformed Church, in which he and his wife hold membership, he is at present secretary of the Consistory, and leader of the choir; is very active in all Church work, and in fact gives his earnest support to all worthy objects which are for the benefit of the community. A great reader, he is well posted on all the questions of the day, and does all in his power to advance the educational interests of the township by elevating the standard of its schools.

    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.

    Notes:

    from The Genealogy of the Meyer Family by Henry Meyer, 1890.
    George C, (Christopher, Christ6pher, 6r. Meyer), was
    born at Freeburg, Pa., April 7, 1816. He spent his boy-hood
    days in his native village, acquiring in her schools a fair
    education for that period. From 1833 to 1841 he was
    engaged in the tanning business ; and in 1833 he associated,
    himself with his brother, F. C. Meyer, in the mercantile
    business, continuing thus associated for a period of forty-six
    years. Meantime his name was connected with many public
    enterprises of his section; and he filled many important
    positions in military, civil, educational and ecclesiastical
    affairs. He was a Major under the military organizations of
    his younger days ; he was one of the founders of Freeburg
    Academy, serving thirty-four years as treasurer of the
    institution. He was one of the first directors of the Selins-
    grove First National Bank, and has held that position for
    twenty-five years. March 17, 1865, he was appointed by
    Gov. Andrew G. Curtin Associate Judge of Snj^der County
    to fill an unexpired term, and Oct. 8, 1886, he was elected to
    the same office for a full term of five years. He was Post-
    master of Freeburg from July 17, 1874, until Oct. 17, 1885.
    Mr. Meyer is a member of the Reformed Church, and has
    held man}^ important trusts in her gift, but for want of space
    these will not be enumerated. He is a Republican In fact
    it might be stated here once for all that the Meyers of his
    section are all members of that party, while in Centre County
    they are nearly all Democrats. George was married to Eliza,
    daughter of John Michael and Catharine (Moor) Fisher, of
    Selinsgrove, Pa. His wife was born July 3, 1819. The
    subject of this sketch has his mind well stored with humor-
    ous anecdotes about the old Meyer stock, and many valuable
    traditions which have been of great service to the author
    of these pages.

    A. J. STOVER, a prominent citizen of Coburn, Centre county, is a retired agriculturist who after many years of well-directed labor can gather the rewards thereof at leisure. He was born January 27, 1846, in Haines township. Centre county, where his ancestors settled at a very early day, his grandfather, Adam Stover, having been a pioneer farmer.
    Andrew Stover, our subject's father, was born and reared there and learned the carpenter's trade. His parents having a small farm and a large family, he was obliged to make his own way in life from the start. He was industrious and frugal, and won a high place in the esteem of the community. In politics he was a Democrat, and he was a leading member of the Lutheran Church. At an early age he married Miss Polly Moyer (or Meyer, as the name was originally spelled), a daughter of George Moyer, a well known farmer. They began housekeeping near Coburn, and for a number of years Andrew Stover was engaged in general carpenter work, but when nearly forty years old he purchased forty acres of land in Haines township, Centre county, and followed farming until his death. He died at the age of fifty-four, and his mortal remains were laid to rest in Wolfe's Chapel cemetery. His widow, who was born January 20, 1814, and is consequently eighty-four years old, is now living with our subject.
    They reared a large family, as follows:
    Julia is Mrs. Enoch Kramer, of Haines township. Centre county;
    George M. is a carpenter of Aaronsburg;
    Daniel M. is a carpenter of Haines township, Centre county;
    Israel M. lives in Berrien county, Mich.;
    Catherine married Franklin Detwilder, and died at Aaronsburg;
    John is a resident of Berrien county, Mich.;
    A. J. is our subject;
    Benjamin lives in Haines township, Centre county;
    Jacob,
    Monroe,
    Jeff
    and James, all resided in Berrien county, Mich.;
    Henrietta died at the age of twenty-one years;
    and Elizabeth, who married Henry Kramer, went west, and for twelve years has not been heard from.
    A. J. Stover's early education was such as the common schools of his day afforded. As his parents had but limited means most of the children left home early to make a living, and he was the only one of the boys who remained until of age. He was eighteen years old when his father died, and the will confided to his care the mother and younger children. This commission he fulfilled, all his work at the homestead being done for the mother and family. At twenty-one he was married in Haines township, Centre county, to Miss Annie Stover, a native of the township and a daughter of Martin Stover. His savings at this time amounted to nearly $150, and he made a beginning as a farmer by renting forty acres of land in Penn township, Centre county, where he spent six years. Having prospered, he rented a larger farm in Haines township. Centre county, and lived there three years. In the spring of 1878 he purchased his first farm, a tract of eighty-seven acres in Haines township. Centre county, and although he went $3,600 in debt, he enjoyed at last the satisfaction of having a home that he could call his own. He remained there until the spring of 1895, when he removed to his present home in Coburn. He now owns over 240 acres of land, and is regarded as one of the substantial citizens of the locality.
    Mr. Stover's four children by the first marriage are all residents of Centre county: Ammon A. is a farmer of Haines township; Warren F. is a farmer of Gregg township; William resides in Haines township; and Katy married John Hess, of Haines township. The mother of this little family died in February, 1886, and was buried in Wolfe's Chapel cemetery. On February 16, 1888, Mr. Stover was married in Haines township to Miss Eve Stover, a sister of his first wife, and there is one child by this union, Martin A., who is at home.
    Mr. Stover has not only proved himself a successful business man, but he has always taken a prominent part in the local work of the Democratic party, and has held the office of supervisor for three terms. He is a member of the Reformed Church, in which he has been a deacon, and he is interested in all that tends to promote the good of the community.

    Notes:

    Jacob G. was the youngest child of the family, and enjoys the distinction of being a descendant through a line of youngest sons, beginning with Christopher, son of Henry Meyer, who came from Germany. He is one of the youngest of his generation, third from the Henry Meyer just mentioned, a generation that is now (1894) almost extinct. Jacob has passed the greater part of his life near the scenes of his youth, Perm's Valley, Centre county, Pa., engaged in various enterprises, and at present lives at Aaronsburg, retired from active business pursuits. In his younger days he was an efficient teacher in the schools of his neighborhood, but he turned his attention principally to music both vocal and instrumental, and soon took a high stand as a skillful instructor and leader in both branches. He began to teach music when but fifteen years of age. He is the author of a number of musical compositions which are considered fine productions, and have been deservedly popular. Jacob is a lover of music; all his family were musicians, and his home has for years been the headquarters for the musical geniuses of his neighborhood. He devoted the best days of his life to the teaching of the science in the singing-school and convention in his own and neighboring towns. Jacob is recognized as a man of fine intelligence, and he has exerted an amount of influence for good in the church, in education and in the numerous public questions which have from time to time come be- fore the people for solution. He is a member of the Reformed Church, is liberal in her support and faithful in her doctrine, yet cherishing sentiments of charity toward other denominations. Politically he has always been a staunch Democrat, and has ever taken an active stand in defense of his party and its principles. In the fall of 1869, he was elected a member of the Pennsylvania Legislature, and served very acceptably during his term of office. He is a self-made man, never having enjoyed the advantages of higher instruction, except a short time at Lewisburg Academy. In stature he is tall, but not very heavy; light complexion; in voice, manner, and feature, he is a fair type of the Meyer tribe.

    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.

    GENEALOGY OF THE MEYER FAMILY by Henry Meyer, 1890

    John, married to Anna Behm. He died in 1855, aged 51 years. Children: John, married to Catharine Keim. He is deceased; Henry (dec'd), married to Lovina Miller; Michael B., born March 20, 1845, died at Harrisburg, Pa., July 13, 1889. Disease, congestive fever. Lies buried at Deny, Dauphin Co. He was married to Fannie Strickler. She was born Jan. 13, 1847. Michael lived formerly at Deny, Dauphin Co., where he owned a fine farm. He was a man of intelligence, and influential in his locality, having filled at different periods nearly all the elective offices of his township. In 1877 he resigned the office of school-director to become County Commissioner of Dauphin County, which position he filled two terms. At the time of his death he was Prison Warden at Harrisburg, which office he had held over two years. Michael had been raised by his uncle, Mr. Behm, ex-commissioner of Dauphin County; he was a poor boy, but by a close application to his books, he acquired a good education in the schools of his neighborhood, and by industry and perseverance amassed considerable property. During Lee's invasion of Pennsylvania Michael shouldered the musket in defense of our State against the Confederates. In politics he was a thorough Republican, and in a political contest was seldom vanquished. He was a man of large stature, noble bearing, benevolent disposition, greatly beloved by his family and highly esteemed by his numerous friends. I visited the family at Deny in the Fall of 1883 and again in 1889 at Harrisburg. Widow Meyer is at present filling the office of Prison Warden left vacant by the death of her husband. The couple were married Nov. 6, 1866, and had nine children. Children: Annie M.; Frances F.; Harvey S.; Ada S.; Lizzie G.; Clara S.; John S.; Emma S.: Mary V.
