PASSING OF DANIEL MEYER
Old Resident of Dakota, Ill. died at Age of 87 years Sunday morning at about 2 o'clock of Sep 29. Daniel Meyer passed away at his late residence in the village of Dakota after a lingering illness due to old age and a severe paralytic stroke, at the ripe age of 87 years 7 months and 5 days. The funeral took place Wednesday afternoon at 1:30 o'clock at Dakota, the Rev FA Hoerner of the United Evangelical Church officiating assisted by Rev Storer of the ME Church and Rev HW Tyler, Lutheran church, Dakota and internment followed at the family lot in the cemetery of said village by the side of his faithful bosom companion who shared with him the joys, trials, and cares incident to this life for more than 64 years and preceded her husband to the endless beyond in December, 1915.

The departed one was a son of Henry and Hannah (nee Bierly) Meyer, unto whom were born nine children in the Keystone state, all of whom, with their parents, have entered upon their eternal mission, except one. Henry Meyer of Rebersburg, Centre County, PA who is the only surviving one of his prominent family.

Early in life the deceased united with the Evangelical Association and later with the United Evangelical church and continued steadfast in the faith of this church until the end. He was a pioneer as well as an old settler of Stephenson County and was highly esteemed and respected by all that gained his acquaintance.

In 1851 he was united in wedlock with Miss Matilda Rebecca Smull in Miles township, Centre County, PA and together they shared the joys and sorrows of life for 64 years, his companion preceding him in death 1 Dec 1915. To this union were born four sons and five daughters, six of whom passed away in death and three surviving are present. Those who died were Newton Henry, who was accidentally shot while hunting when 18 years of age; Peter David, who died at the age of 14 years; Thomas Ephram, who was married to Miss Hilda Nelson of Rockford; Sarah An, who was married to George McGilligan of Janesville, IA; and two daughters died in infancy. The surviving children are: John F Meyer of Dakota; Mrs Edward Lauck, Peabody, KS, and Mrs Lincoln Goodman, Rock City, Ill. Fifteen grandchildren and sixteen great grandchildren also survive.

In his youthful years the deceased served an apprenticeship at cabinet making with Major John Meyer in his native locality, and for several years worked at this trade, but being desirous of bettering their condition, they elected to seek their fortune in the then regarded far west and after a long and tedious journey, they reached this locality on 31 Dec 1853, and have resided here until the Death Angel gathered them to their immortal home.

After reaching Illinois, Mr Meyer soon discovered that his trade was of no practical benefit to him, an he therefore concluded to change his vocation and followed farming at which calling he made a success. After reaching an age when farm labor became too burdensome he retired in 1895 and resided in the village of Dakota enjoying a well earned rest in his declining years.

Those present at the funeral from a distance besides the ones mentioned heretofore were Grant Burbank; Rockford; Mrs Hilda Meyer and son Evans, Pecatonica; Mr Nate Colby and wife, Davis; Mr & Mrs PO Stiver, Mrs Frank Duck, Mrs Henry Pash, Mr & Mrs Oscar Smull, and Mrs Lizzie Bowers, Freeport; Jacob Meyers and daughter, Elkhorn, Wis; Mr & Mrs Myron Smull and Mrs & Mrs Frank Smith, McConnell; and Edward Weirick, Stockton.

The family return thanks to neighbors and friends for sympathy and assistance during their bereavement.

Author of Genealogy of the Meyer Family. 1890.

Henry — author of this book — was born in Miles township, Centre County, Pa., Dec. 8, 1840. It is not considered good taste for one to "blow his own horn." I shall, therefore, be very brief. I was brought up on father's farm doing such work as usually falls to the lot of farmer boys; and during the Winter season attended, two or three months in a term, the common schools of the neighborhood. In the Spring of 1860 I left home to learn the millwright trade with John Todd, then residing at Potters Mills, Pa., — a trade which both father and grandfather had followed before me. Whatever spare time I had was generally devoted to reading, and the study of mathematics or other subjects that had a bearing on my trade. Sometime in August, 1862, I returned home and on the 19th of that month enlisted in the army for "three years or during the war." A number of my old comrades enlisted about the same time and we were a few days later organized at Camp Curtin, Harrisburg, Pa., as Company "A" of the 148. Regt. P. V. We went through the usual disciplinary stages of the volunteer soldier, and first got down to serious business at Chancellorsville, Va., May, 1863. There was in me a slight leaven of the military spirit, and the boom of cannon, the shriek of the shells, the roar of the musketry, the cheer of the Union Soldiers and the yell of the Rebels reverberating through the deep woods raised my enthusiasm to the highest pitch, and I felt as though I could myself vanquish a whole regiment of the enemy! That was while we lay on the picket line in an opposite direction and at a tolerably safe distance from the disturbance. But later on after a better acquaintance with the serious work before us, when those shrieking missiles began to come uncomfortably close and streams of mangled boys in blue came passing by us to the rear, then, well then, it must be confessed, my ardor abated very considerably. That was the mental and moral experience, I believe, of most of the soldiers. I was in every battle in which the regiment was engaged until my discharge, among which were those of Chancellorsville, Gettysburg, Auburn Mills, Mine Run, the Wilderness and Po River or Laurel Hill, besides several skirmishes of lesser note. Never being in the hospital I took in all. I was slightly wounded at Chancellorsville, but more seriously at Po River, May 10, 1864; a minnie ball passing through my left hand near the wrist which necessitated amputation and which operation was performed May 17, 1864. by A. F. Sheldon, Surgeon in charge of Campbell Hospital, Washington, P. C. I was discharged at my own request in September following, came home and entered the Rebersburg Select School then in progress. The mutilated condition of my corporeal part rendered my trade useless to me and it became necessary to mark out a new course for the future. I taught school during the following Winter ('64 and '65), went to school again the next Summer and thus continued teaching and going to school alternately for several years. In 1866 I attended the Union Seminary, New Berlin, Pa., and in the Fall of 1868 I entered the Keystone State Normal School at Kutztown, Pa., graduating with first honors the Spring following. I assisted Supt. R. M. Magee in the Centre County Normal School for a number of years. In May, 1S75, I was elected County Superintendent of Common Schools of Center Co., for a term of three years, and was re-elected without opposition to the same office May, 1878. In the Fall of 1882 I was elected a member of the State Legislature, which, for reasons that need not be stated here, was in continuous session from Jan. 2, 1883, to Dec. 6, same year. I was married at Unionville. Centre Co., Pa., Jan. 18, 1872, to Martha Jane, daughter of Thomas J. Taylor ; and have lived ever since at Rebersburg. Pa. Roth myself and wife joined the Evangelical Church Feb. 6, 1874. Elected Justice of the Peace Feb. 18, 1890.
