the aged man, who was Sc years old at
the time of his death, and he was finally
driven to ask for help.
Wanted to Go to Poorhouse.
He asked to be sent to the poor house,
claiming that while he had been a resi-
dent of Chicago and had forfeited his
residence in Wisconsin, he believed he
was entitled to help by virtue of the
prominence which he once occupied and
the vast sums that he had paid into the
treasures of the city and state in taxes
both as head of a great railroad system
and as wealthy private citizen.
Was Not a Resident.
The fact that Mr.. Meyer was no long
er resident of Milwaukee county, made
it impossible, however, for Mr.. Frell-
poor house. Mr.. FrellsOn at once COM
municated with the children of the aged
man who responded to the appeal and a
meeting was held in Milwaukee at which
adequate provision for Mr. Meyers
maintenance was subscribed by the chill
dren and placed in Mr.. Frellson's hands,
to be disbursed for the old gentleman as
he needed it. 1t is claimed by the chill
dren, and believed by many who knew
the circumstances, that they had at all
times been willing to support their
father, but that the old man was child
ish and full of notions" due to his adj
vanced years.
Many Offered to Help.
The publication of Mr.. Meyers appIi-
cation for admission to the poorhouse
created great excitement Old-time con-
ductors who remembered his generosity
and liberality, came forward with offers
of aid; e. P. Sawyer of Oshkosh, whose
father, the late Senator Sawyer, had had
business dealings with the once wealthy
lumberman, said that never while a
member of the Sawyer family lived
should c. J. L. Meyer want for any
thing, and offers of aid came from well
known business men of Milwaukee,
among them T. J. Neacy. The generous
offers, however, were not needed to make
the old mans days comfortable.
