Texas to the United States Senate,
and later to the Confederate Senate
and also an officer on the staff of
Jefferson Davis. The article con-
sists Of a series Of letters written
at the outbreak and close of the
war, which reflect with remarkable
accuracy and interest the thought
and spirit Of the times. They reveal

County,s oldest and most respected
citizens, departed tais life last
Thursday evening, surrounded by
his family, at their home; IT the
Park Hotel in this village.
Mr.. Meyer was born ct Beech
wood, Pennsylvania, on March IA
1884, his parents being what are
commonly known as nsylvania
Dutch; and he was brought mp in
the Moravian church, to which they
belonged. When twenty three years
of age he came out to Carver Coun-
ty, Minnesota, and took 9 claim five
miles from Chaska the county seat.
While residing there he was mar
ried on March 2, 1868, to Mia Fred
erica Oberle, who survives him. In
1879, in company with Otto Ber-
reau, he drove from Chaska down
to Mobiles county and tookup a
claim az miles west 1t Brewster,
after which he returned home and
came back with his family the fol-
lowing year. This farm was the
home of the family until about elev-
en- years ago, when Mr.. and Mrs.
Meyer and Mr.. and Mrs. Eee6 built
tie Park Hotel, which they lave
since conducted. About four years
ago Mr.. Meyer was stricken with
and q year later he suffer
ed two more strokes, rendering him
unable to work and causing him
much rain and incon veniences With
the exception of an OCCASIONAL rally

about four months proceeding his
death was seldom free from pain.
His wife and daughters ministered
to his wants with all faithful ness
and solic:tude. and he was constant
~ under the care Of the doctor; but
it was not within human power to
save him. The end came quietly
about ten CLOCK in the evening.
