MEYER. – Dr. Thomas P. Meyer, a well known retired dentist of Lock Haven, died on Saturday evening following a lingering illness. He was a son of John and Catherine Purman Meyer and was born at Rebersburg, Centre county, in 1842, hence was in his 84th year. In his early life he taught school but enlisted for service at the outbreak of the Civil war, serving throughout the four years’ struggle. He participated in forty-three engagements, including the Battle of the Wilderness and Gettysburg. He was captured by the confederates and spent some months in Libby prison and at Belle Island. After the war he went west and became a rough rider.
Several years later he returned to Rebersburg and married Miss Lucetta Bierly. They located in Lock Haven where he was principal of schools for thirteen years. Resigning he took a course in dentistry and practiced that profession up until a few years ago. Mr. Meyer compiled several histories of the Civil war and also wrote a number of genealogical sketches of the Meyer and Bierly families. He is survived by his wife, one son and a daughter.
Funeral services were held at his late home at 9.30 o’clock on Tuesday morning, after which the remains were taken to Rebersburg for burial.
