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.

biography from Find a Grave:
Source: Floyd's Northumberland County Genealogy (1910), pg 714-715:

Daniel P. Hilbish was born in 1810 in Washington Township, Snyder County, and died in February, 1861. He is buried at Freeburg. A farmer by occupation, he prospered in his calling, and not only owned the old Hilbish homestead in Snyder county but also the farm in Point Township, Northumberland County, now owned by his son John A. Hilbish.

He was a man of more than ordinary intelligence, a leader in the affairs of his district, held various public offices, and was one of the original founders of the Freeburg Academy, serving on the building committee and later as trustee. He contributed largely to the construction and was the leading spirit in the foundation of this institution, where his children were educated. On the question of education he had strong convictions, and he did much work beneficial to the community. He was a Republican in politics, and in religion a member of the Reformed Church, which he supported with his influence and means.

The old homestead which he owned, and which his son Samuel G. took after his death, has now (1910) been in the family name for 125 years, and was all in the forest when taken up by his grandfather, Peter. In 1846 Daniel P. Hilbish purchased the farm in Point township mentioned before, upon which he erected a full set of buildings, which the Pennsylvania Company purchased in 1909.

He was a man whose judgment was so highly esteemed that he was frequently sought for advice by his neighbors, and he had the respect of all who knew him.

He married Elizabeth Glass, daughter of George and Sarah (Brill) Glass, of Washington Township, Snyder County, whose family were pioneers in that district coming thither while the Indians were still roaming the territory.

Mrs. Hilbish long survived her husband, dying in 1888 at the age of seventy-six years, and is likewise buried in Freeburg.

Eight children were born to them: Samuel G., who lives on the homestead; Sarah S., wife of Philip B. Moyer; Mary A., who married William Motz; Catharine A., who married James P. Artley; one that died in infancy; John A.; George A., who died in 1877, aged twenty-four years; and Emma K., deceased, who married Dr. J. D. Hilbish and after his death became the wife of John Motz.
