George Meyer was the first of the family to come to Haines township, Centre county. He was born in Campbelltown, March 25, 1782, and in 1827 came to Centre county, buying a farm and millsite on Pine creek, where he erected a mill. He was a giant in strength, yet inferior to his brothers, Henry, John and Michael. He married Catharine Meyer, who was born December 2, 1788, a daughter of John Jacob Meyer, and died March 13, 1858. He passed away January 1, 1854, and was buried with his wife at Aaronsburg, Centre county. Their family constituted the following children: George, born January 13, 1806...; John, a farmer by occupation, died in Penn's Valley, January 28, 1878; Catharine married Andrew Harter, and died in Penn's Valley, October 3, 1S72; Henry died in Haines township. Centre county, March 9, 1877; Mary wedded Andrew Stover, and lives in Penn's Valley; Philip died in Haines township, June 25, 1876; and Jacob G., a resident of Aaronsburg, at one time represented his district in the State Legislature.



From The Meyer Family Tree compiled by John D. Meyer, Tyrone, PA, October, 1937,
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.

The father of these children taught two terms of school after his marriage. He began housekeeping upon a rented farm in Haines township, and to agricultural pursuits mainly devoted his attention until his death at the age of forty-seven years. He was never a robust man, and catching cold, it developed into consumption, which caused his death. Politically he was a Democrat, and religiously he was a member of the German Re- formed Church. His wife survived him only about two and one-half years.

In physical appearance Henry and his brother John could hardly be distinguished from each other. So close was the resemblance that John, it is said, on a certain occasion when away from home, seeing himself in a large mirror which extended the full length of one side of a room, imagined it was his brother, and stepped forward to shake hands, remarking, "Why, Henry, when did you come?"

Page 321 COMMEMORATIVE BIOGRAPHICAL RECORD.
A. J. STOVER, a prominent citizen of Coburn, Centre county, is a retired agriculturist who after many years of well-directed labor can gather the rewards thereof at leisure. He was born January 27, 1846, in Haines township. Centre county, where his ancestors settled at a very early day, his grandfather, Adam Stover, having been a pioneer farmer.
Andrew Stover, our subject's father, was born and reared there and learned the carpenter's trade. His parents having a small farm and a large family, he was obliged to make his own way in life from the start. He was industrious and frugal, and won a high place in the esteem of the community. In politics he was a Democrat, and he was a leading member of the Lutheran Church. At an early age he married Miss Polly Moyer (or Meyer, as the name was originally spelled), a daughter of George Moyer, a well known farmer. They began housekeeping near Coburn, and for a number of years Andrew Stover was engaged in general carpenter work, but when nearly forty years old he purchased forty acres of land in Haines township, Centre county, and followed farming until his death. He died at the age of fifty-four, and his mortal remains were laid to rest in Wolfe's Chapel cemetery. His widow, who was born January 20, 1814, and is consequently eighty-four years old, is now living with our subject.
They reared a large family, as follows:
Julia is Mrs. Enoch Kramer, of Haines township. Centre county;
George M. is a carpenter of Aaronsburg;
Daniel M. is a carpenter of Haines township, Centre county;
Israel M. lives in Berrien county, Mich.;
Catherine married Franklin Detwilder, and died at Aaronsburg;
John is a resident of Berrien county, Mich.;
A. J. is our subject;
Benjamin lives in Haines township, Centre county;
Jacob,
Monroe,
Jeff
and James, all resided in Berrien county, Mich.;
Henrietta died at the age of twenty-one years;
and Elizabeth, who married Henry Kramer, went west, and for twelve years has not been heard from.
A. J. Stover's early education was such as the common schools of his day afforded. As his parents had but limited means most of the children left home early to make a living, and he was the only one of the boys who remained until of age. He was eighteen years old when his father died, and the will confided to his care the mother and younger children. This commission he fulfilled, all his work at the homestead being done for the mother and family. At twenty-one he was married in Haines township, Centre county, to Miss Annie Stover, a native of the township and a daughter of Martin Stover. His savings at this time amounted to nearly $150, and he made a beginning as a farmer by renting forty acres of land in Penn township, Centre county, where he spent six years. Having prospered, he rented a larger farm in Haines township. Centre county, and lived there three years. In the spring of 1878 he purchased his first farm, a tract of eighty-seven acres in Haines township. Centre county, and although he went $3,600 in debt, he enjoyed at last the satisfaction of having a home that he could call his own. He remained there until the spring of 1895, when he removed to his present home in Coburn. He now owns over 240 acres of land, and is regarded as one of the substantial citizens of the locality.
Mr. Stover's four children by the first marriage are all residents of Centre county: Ammon A. is a farmer of Haines township; Warren F. is a farmer of Gregg township; William resides in Haines township; and Katy married John Hess, of Haines township. The mother of this little family died in February, 1886, and was buried in Wolfe's Chapel cemetery. On February 16, 1888, Mr. Stover was married in Haines township to Miss Eve Stover, a sister of his first wife, and there is one child by this union, Martin A., who is at home.
Mr. Stover has not only proved himself a successful business man, but he has always taken a prominent part in the local work of the Democratic party, and has held the office of supervisor for three terms. He is a member of the Reformed Church, in which he has been a deacon, and he is interested in all that tends to promote the good of the community.

Other Events:

• Occupation: Music teacher, musician
• Occupation: 1869; In the fall of 1869, he was elected a member of the Pennsylvania Legislature, and served very acceptably during his term of office.

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.

He then worked as a journeyman at the Pine Creek Mill for one year, and then returned and conducted it on his own account for the same length of time. Removing to Lewis township, Union county, Penn., he operated a rented mill there for a time, and later worked for the owner. On leaving his employ he conducted a rented mill in Haines township.

Notes:

Grist-Mills. - The first grist-mill in the valley occupied the site of the mill now owned by J. K. Meyer,
Centre Mills. It was a small log building having but two pairs of home-made millstones, one pair of which was used for chop and the other for flour. The bolt-reel was turned by hand. It was built and owned by a Mr. Kreamer, states Mr. John Hoy (who is now eighty-seven years of age, and gave a number of facts mentioned in this sketch). When this mill was built cannot be ascertained definitely, but it was prior to 1798, for in that year Col. Henry Meyer did some repairing in it, as is seen by entries in his old account-book. In the same year Mr. Meyer made some repairs at John Motz's mill, Penn's Valley.
The old mill was purchased by Tobias Pickle when he came into the valley, and it was replaced by the present stone mill. It was built in 1802 or 1803, according to recollection of Henry Meyer, whose father. Col. Meyer, made the millwright work. The story that it took seventy-five barrels of whiskey to build his mill is probably an exaggeration. The mill now owned by Daniel Walker was built in 1819. It occupies the site of one built about the year 1802, which was burned down. Mr. Daniel Dubbs, of York County, built it in the first place, and it was subsequently owned by his son Oswald.
The first mill on the site of William Meyer's present mill was built by Christopher Royer in 1819. In the year following (1820) Abraham Reber erected a gristmill near Madisonburg, on the farm now owned by Reuben Grimm. It was burned down not long after, and a distillery along with it, which had been in operation as early as the year 1803. Philip Wolfart erected a grist-mill on his farm (later Snook's) in 1824. It was not kept in repair for want of custom. At Gramly's Gap used to be a small flouring-mill, which was subsequently changed into a fulling-mill. At Madisonburg there is at present a small grist-mill in operation. Wolf's mill was erected in 1834 by Anthony Wolf. It is a fine stone mill, and in good repair. An oil-mill used to be at the same place.
Before there were any grist-mills in Brush valley the early settlers took their grain to Kishacoquillas valley to have it ground. They went by way of Penn's Creek Springs, at the west end of the valley. The Ertles, - Valentine, Daniel, and Philip, - who were among the first settlers about the present neighborhood of Madisonburg, cut a path across the mountains into Penn's valley, and took their grain on horse-back to the valley above stated. Their route through the Seven Mountains and the pike from Stover's across, it is said, followed nearly the same general direction. Later Mr. Hubler erected a small mill some distance below Aaronsburg, and the grain of Brush Valley was then taken there to be ground until the 1 small mill at Centre Mills was put in operation.

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:

COMMEMORATIVE BIOGRAPHICAL RECORD. Page 530
WILLIAM H. MEYER, the leading merchant of Coburn, Centre county, is a representative of a prominent and well known family of central Pennsylvania, who trace their ancestry back to a gentleman of German birth who came to the New World at an early day in its history. His fourth son, Christopher Meyer, was born in Muhlbach, Lancaster Co., Penn., in 1744, from which place he removed to Campbelltown, Lebanon county, this State, where he owned a large tract of land. There his death occurred August 2, 1801. He wedded Anna Maria Schaeffer, who was born in Heidelberg township, Lancaster county, February 19, 1744, a daughter of Alexander Schaeffer, who came from Palatinate, Prussia, to the United States in 1740. She died January 1, 1823. In their family were nine children, namely: Henry, John, Michael, Jacob, Christopher, George, Catharine, Christina and Mary.
George Meyer was the first of the family to come to Haines township, Centre county. He was born in Campbelltown, March 25, 1782, and in 1827 came to Centre county, buying a farm and millsite on Pine creek, where he erected a mill. He was a giant in strength, yet inferior to his brothers, Henry, John and Michael. He married Catharine Meyer, who was born December 2, 1788, a daughter of John Jacob Meyer, and died March 13, 1858. He passed away January 1, 1854, and was buried with his wife at Aaronsburg, Centre county. Their family constituted the following children: George, born January 13, 1806, was the grandfather of our subject; John, a farmer by occupation, died in Penn's Valley, January 28, 1878; Catharine married Andrew Harter, and died in Penn's Valley, October 3, 1S72; Henry died in Haines township. Centre county, March 9, 1877; Mary wedded Andrew Stover, and lives in Penn's Valley; Philip died in Haines township, June 25, 1876; and Jacob G., a resident of Aaronsburg, at one time represented his district in the State Legislature.
The grandfather of our subject was reared upon a farm, and was married in Haines township to Miss Lydia Harter, who was there born May 16, 1807, a daughter of Andrew Harter, and they became the parents of six children: George J. is the father of our subject; Julia A., born December 20, 1831, is the wife of John Weaver, of Penn township, Centre county; Maria, born January 26, 1837, is the wife of Jacob Ketner, of Haines township; Samuel, born July 13, 1839, was a miller by trade, and died in Millheim, Centre county; Sarah, born April 12, 1842, is the widow of Daniel Miller, of Haines township; and Andrew, born January 17, 1848, is a miller of the same township. The father of these children taught two terms of school after his marriage. He began housekeeping upon a rented farm in Haines township, and to agricultural pursuits mainly devoted his attention until his death at the age of forty-seven years. He was never a robust man, and catching cold, it developed into consumption, which caused his death. Politically he was a Democrat, and religiously he was a member of the German Re- formed Church. His wife survived him only about two and one-half years.
George J. Meyer, the father of our subject, was born in Haines township, January 17, 1830, and acquired his education in the primitive school of early times. At the age of eighteen he began learning the miller's trade with his uncle, John Meyer, of Pine Creek, serving a two-years' apprenticeship, during which time he received $60 for his services. He then worked as a journeyman at the Pine Creek Mill for one year, and then returned and conducted it on his own account for the same length of time. Removing to Lewis township, Union county, Penn., he operated a rented mill there for a time, and later worked for the owner. On leaving his employ he conducted a rented mill in Haines township. Centre county, for eight years, after which he removed to Penn township, where his family resided, while he was at Oil City, Penn., a part of one summer. For a period of two years and a half he then engaged in farming, later operated a grist and saw mill at Pine Creek eleven years, and for nine years was in the milling business at Linden Hall, Centre county. In the spring of 1889 he came to Coburn, where he was engaged in mercantile pursuits for a time, but later sold out to his son William, and is now living a retired life, making his home with his children. He is a highly respected and honored citizen, an earnest supporter of Democratic principles, and a faithful member of the Reformed Church.
In Haines township, in June, in 1852, George J. Meyer was wedded to Miss Mary S. Arbogast, who was born in 1832, in Freeburg, Snyder Co., Penn. (then Union county), a daughter of Jacob Arbogast, a potter by trade. Six children bless this union: Emma J., wife of Nicodemus Lose, of Haines township; Agnes, wife of Daniel Krader, of Gregg township. Centre county; William H., whose name introduces this sketch; Austin E., a miller of Linden Hall; Thomas F., a merchant of Coburn; and Temmie E. . wife of John H. Rishel, a merchant of Farmers Mills, Penn. The mother was called to her final rest March 26, 1894, and her remains were interred in the cemetery of Aaronsburg. Like her husband, she was an earnest member of the Reformed Church.
In Hartle township. Union county, William H. Meyer was born July 31, 1855, whence, when a child, he was brought by his parents to Woodward, Centre county, of which county he has since been a resident. He was educated in its common schools, first attending school at Woodward, where his teacher was "Old Hill." At the age of fifteen he began learning the miller's trade with his father at Pine Creek, and later worked at that business in various places in Centre county, and also at York, Penn. , for a time. In 1890 he embarked in merchandising at Coburn, first occupying a building opposite the depot, and later succeeded E. L. Auman in business at his present stand. He had never stood behind a counter previous to starting in business for himself, but seemed naturally adapted to the pursuit, and has met with a wel'- deserved success, having now one of the leading general stores in Penn's Valley, and by far the most complete one in Coburn.
At the age of nineteen Mr. Meyer was married in Bellefonte to Miss Hulda Lee, a native of Tusseyville, Penn., and a daughter of Robert Lee, a farmer. They have one child, Verna, born in November, 1875. The parents are both consistent members of the Reformed Church, while in politics Mr. Meyer is a stalwart Democrat, and fraternally is a member of Blanchard Lodge, I. O. O. F. , of Eagleville, Penn. He is a prosperous, obliging merchant, one who has made his own way in the world, and deserves no little credit for the wonderful success he has achieved. As a business man he enjoys the confidence of a wide circle of patrons, and he and his wife hold an equally high position in social circles.
