He was united in marriage to Miss Amanda Foels of Postville on February 25, 1914, by the Rev. R. Kuehne and since then this community has been their home. Three children, Clinton, Robert and Helen, were born to this union, all now living near here and who with Mrs. Meyer and three grandchildren survive.

Also surviving are five brothers and three sisters, William L., Fred L., Louis J. and Henry L. Meyer of Postville, Edward Meyer of Castalia, Mrs. Edward Schlee of Postville, Mrs. Elmer Hoth of Waukon, and Mrs. Paul Koevenig of Decorah.
