  • Notes 
    • From The Genealogy of the Meyer Family by Henry Meyer, 1890.
      Philip H.: born near Boalsburg, Pa., April 19, 1851;
      during his minority assisted his father on the farm and
      attended the public schools of the neighborhood in which he
      acquired a fair education. His father being a lover and
      friend of music the children were introduced to the subject
      at an early day, and Philip soon gave evidence of more than
      ordinary talent in that direction. He applied himself unre-
      mittingly during his spare moments from farm duties to the
      study and practice of his favorite theme, and soon acquired
      a reputation as an excellent musician. He attended a musi-
      cal institution of Philadelphia for a brief period and of
      course had presented to his ready mind man}- suggestions
      which his self-discipline at home had failed to reveal to him.
      Beyond this he has not enjoyed the advantages afforded by
      higher grade institutions and his efficiency as a class
      instructor and skill as a performer on musical instruments
      are due mainly to his own unaided study- and constant prac-
      tice sustained by his love and natural ability for his work.
      At present he devotes all his time to teaching music both
      vocal and instrumental.

      Philip is married to Sarah M. Feterolf. Lives near Boals-
      burg. Children: Dora C; born Nov. 16, 1884; Mary M.;
      born May 15, 1888 ; died Feb.1 , 1889.
