The Valley Falls New Era
Thursday
August 1, 1907
Another Pioneer Gone.
Uncle Benedict MEYER has fallen asleep.
Sitting in his easy chair at his old farm home three miles northeast of town
Tuesday afternoon at 2 o'clock the aged man passed peacefully away.
Death at last has freed him from a long affliction.
Benedict MEYER was born in Switzerland in 1822, and since 1855 Valley Falls has
been his abiding place. He was a fine old gentleman, and in his veins coursed
royal blood, we are told.
Three times was he married and thrice was he bereft, his last "good woman" dying
only a few years ago.
In the family plot on a hill near their old home chosen more than half a century
ago he is at rest by the side of his trio of loved ones, and his son John who
died in his 17th year.
He is survived by his daughters three, Mrs. Josephine SENN, Mrs. Virona SMITH,
Mrs. Caroline GALLAGHER, and an adopted daughter, Mrs. Emillie LEWIS; and his
sons five, Antoine, Rudolph, Albert, Benjamin and Edward.
The funeral was held, undertaker SCHULER in charge, from the house Thursday
morning at 10 o'clock, Rev. SCHRENCK of Coal Creek officating at the services in
a large presence of old neighbors and friends.
