MR. HENRY MEYER
Mr. Henry Meyer, whose death was chronicled in our last issue, was born in Wardenburg, Oldenburg, Germany, Dec. 11, 1836. He came to America in 1857 and settled in Galveston in 1858. Was married to Miss Antoinetta Wessels of Galveston in 1865. Lived awhile in Houston and afterwards removed to Swiss Alp.
Deceased leaves a wife and nine children. The children are Fritz of Flatonia, Ben of Galveston, Louis of Port Lavaca, Harry of Schulenburg, Gus of O’Quinn, Mrs. O. P. Knape of Moulton, Cleveland, Misses Ella and Julia of Swiss Alp.
Mr. Meyer was an old Confederate soldier and fought through the entire civil war. He was a member of Co. B. of the 2nd Texas Infantry.

His remains were consigned to mother earth Thursday the 23rd, in the Swiss Alp cemetery, Rev. K. Kern officiating. Peace to his ashes.
