Meyer, Henry (1833? - 17 Jun 1904)

Henry Meyer, a resident here (Thorp, Clark County, Wis.), died on Friday evening last of consumption at the age of seventy years. Mr. Meyer was born in Germany and removed here with his wife and son from Kiel, Wis., about eighteen eyars ago. For a number of years they lived on a farm in the town of Worden, where his wife died a number of eyars ago, the son, Louis, also dying of consumption about six years since. For the past six months Mr. Meyer has been gradually failing, and owing to his advanced age, his battle with the disease was only a question of a short time. He was a man of sterling, upright qualities, honest and an excellent neighbor. During his last illness he received the best of care and attention from Mrs. L. Hilbo and family, with whom he resided. He left not a known relative in this country. The funeral took place on Sunday afternoon last from the residence, interment taking place at the German Cemetery in the town of Worden. Rev. J. B. Bachman officiated at the residence and Henry Schultz, an old neighbor in the town, at the grave.
