They had almost | reached the summit of the hill on Alle- gheny street when Mr. Meyer was over- come and would have fallen to the ground had it not been for Mr. Rankin’s timely support. He gasped the words “Doctor, Doctor,” and Mr. MacIntyre ran down the street and summoned Dr. Seibert. In the meantime Mr. Rankin and Mr. War- field got him onto the porch of the lat. ter's residence and hastily summoned Mrs. Meyer.

Jacob G. Meyer, who came to Centre county from Campbell | town, Pa., and engaged in teaching school, later going to farming near Aaronsburg and finally in 1865, going into the mer. cantile business in Aaronsburg. He rep- | resented Centre county in the State Legislature in the session of 1870. The subject of this sketch attended the public school at Aaronsburg from his | sixth to his twelfth year when he entered | the store of B. F. Philips, in that place, as ‘a clerk. He remained there two years ' but his inclination for study could not be suppressed and he entered the private OHN CALVIN ! school of Prof. D. M. Wolf, at Penn Hall, | the Cnt In: ddition to the ordinary quarter esstons cases he had five homicide cuses in two of which, against Seely Hopkins and Alfred Andrews, convictions received and tne ofienders ret the extreme penalty of the law, while allthe others con- those wei ware victed for a less { crime. In 1894 Mi Mover was given the unan- mous support of Centre county for the nomination for State Seq in this dis- trict to succeed Sen. I’. Gray Meek, but r degree © wtor because of this fact the nomination went to Clearfield county. In municipal affairs Mr. Mever also took an active interest and in 1803 was clected burgess for a term of three years. From that time until 1803 he devoted close attention to the practice of his profession and looking after some personal investments, one of which was in assisting to promecte the new Bickford Fire Brick company, of Curwensviile, in which his interest still remains. In 1908 he was nominated by the Demo- crats of the county for Representative in the State Legislature, being opposed by | R. B. Taylor, the Republican nominee. It was agood commentary on the confidence the people of the county reposed in Mr. Meyer when they elected him by a ma- jority of 298 while all the balance of the Republican ticket was elected and Taft carried the county by 961. During Mr. Meyer's first term he served his constit- uents so faithfully and won such recogni- tion on the foor of the House that when he was re nominated last year by the Democrats he was endorsed by the Republicans and as evidence that it was not merely a perfunctory tribute is the fact that at the election last fall he received more Republican votes than he did Democratic. In the present session he was made the choice of the Democrats for Speaker of the House. While it was a fruitless honor it was a worthy mark of esteem and his work during the session shows that his fellow Legislators not only held him in high but placed a high appreciation upon his statesmanship. Though he has left for himseli a record worthy of emulation he has been cut down in the very prime of life with a vista of far greater usefulness opening before him. Had he lived there is little doubt but that he would have won great- er political honors and in doing so have reflected greater glory on the county of his birth. esteem Socially there are few men in Belle- fonte who are possessed of the same suave and even temperament, ceptional charm of manner and general likability.
