Mr. Meyer was widely known as he had been in business on Main Street in Oconto Falls for the past fifty years. He ran a barbershop and later branched out in the insurance business. He was district manager for an insurance company for thirty-five years. His son-in-law, Aaron Rudolph now has the barbershop. Forty-seven years on February 24, Mr. Meyer married the former Miss Emma Wittkoph of Oconto, who survives him. He is further survived by two sons, Ernest and Allen of Green Bay, and a daughter, Dorothea, Mrs. Aaron Rudolph of Oconto Falls, a grand daughter, and two grandsons, and two brothers, Charles of Morgan and William of Shawano.
Mr. Meyer was an active member of fraternal orders. He was a member of the Masonic Lodge of Oconto Falls, where he had served as tiller for the past seventeen years, affiliated with the Royal Arch Chapter of Oconto, the Elks Lodge and the Odd Fellows Lodge. Mr. Meyer was a charter member of the Oconto Falls Kiwanis club and served as its treasurer all these years. In addition, he was active in sports, and enjoyed hunting and fishing, loved the woods, and was well known in golfing and bowling circles.
The remains were taken to the O'Neill Funeral home, where friends and relatives from all over this section of Wisconsin called to pay their last respects to this highly respected citizen. The masses of floral tributes bespoke the high regard of Mr. Meyer's many friends and associates. The church rites during which a great niece, Miss Alice Meyer sang "In the Garden," and "The Silent Voice," were followed by the Masonic burial rites at the graveside in Woodlawn cemetery. Pallbearers were C.W. Carlson, W.J. Munsert, Emil Behling, A.J. Peterson, Charles Raymond and Arno J. Luth. Mr. Meyer will be greatly missed, not only in his home and family circle, but by many associates in the various enterprises in which he was interested. Deep sympathy is extended to the bereaved family in this hour of sorrow.
