He was educated in the public schools, Williamsport Seminary, and Iron City Commercial College, at Pittsburgh, after which he was associated with his father in the lumber business. They continued as long as it was profitable in that section. Then Mr. Beyer together with his sister, Miss Mary Malissa Beyer, started a general store at Smoke Run, under the firm name of L. & M. Beyer, and the partnership continued until in November, 1910, when Mr. Beyer purchased his sister's interest. He was postmaster beginning in 1898. In politics Mr. Beyer was a stanch Republican. With his wife he belonged to the Methodist Episcopal church. Fraternally he was identified with the Masonic lodge at Coalport, and the P. O. S. of A., at Madera.
