Notes:

William T. was born near Aaronsburg, Pa., September 20, 1853 ; married January 14, 1880, to Lizzie S., daughter of John H. Musser, Aaronsburg. William attended the schools of his town, which were considerably above the average grade of public schools throughout the rural districts and small villages, and being the fortunate possessor of a bright intellect he was enabled to rear the superstructure of a fair education, which he further developed by diligent private reading and study. But he inherited a taste for music which was stimulated to rapid development by the atmosphere of music pervading his father's home. At the early age of eight years, he began the systematic study of the science under the instruction of Prof. T. M. Carter. At ten, he produced his first musical composition which was published several years later. He continued his studies under several eminent instructors, successively, among whom were Dr. William Mason, of New York City, one of America's most prominent pianists, and Mr. George James Webb, celebrated voice teacher, of the same city. Possessing great natural talent for music, having studied under several of the best masters in the county, and having subjected himself to a persevering discipline, William became at an early age one of the most celebrated musicians of the State. After completing his course under instructors, he began teaching piano and voice culture, meantime composing quite a number of piano pieces, songs, anthems, etc., some of which became very popular, His health giving way under the continuous strain upon his nervous system, William was compelled to cease giving instructions in music for a time at least, and he has been devoting his time and attention to the notion and fancy goods business at Bellefonte, Pa., since April 1, 1889.

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.

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.
