The funeral of John Meyer, sr., of Fremont, who died at his home on Friday, November 21, at the advanced age of 86 years, was held from the Catholic church in our village Monday at 11 o’clock a.m., Rev. Father O’Neil officiating, after which the remains were interred in the family lot in the Catholic cemetery. Mr. Meyer was one of the oldest settlers of the town of Fremont and was known and respected by the entire community. He had been troubled with rheumatism for several years but was able to drive about until a few months ago when he was taken down with dropsy, which finally caused his death. He leaves a wife, two daughters - Mrs. Jacob Theiss of Mendota, Ill., and Mrs. Peter Beier of Arlington Heights - and one son, Peter Meyer of Fremonth and many other relatives, to whom we extend our sympathy.
