Mr. Meyer was born in Baden, Germany, coming to this country in 1847. He first settled in the east, but in 1856 came west and eventually to Leavenworth. He was married in Iowa. Until a few weeks ago he had followed his trade as a blacksmith, and, even in his advanced age, was considered one of the best of the craft in this city. He was a member of the A.O.U.W., which will have charge of the funeral. One daughter survives.
