General Notes: Husband - William H. Meyer
When a child, he was brought by his parents to Woodward, Centre County, Pennsylvania, of which county he was thereafter 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, Pennsylvania, 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. He had never stood behind a counter previous to starting in business for himself, but seemed naturally adapted to the pursuit, and met with success, having one of the leading general stores in Penn's Valley, and by far the most complete one in Coburn.
He and his wife were both consistent members of the Reformed Church, while in politics Mr. Meyer was a stalwart Democrat, and fraternally was a member of Blanchard Lodge, I. O. O. F., of Eagleville, Pennsylvania.
