Meyer, a British half-pay officer who took part in the campaign against the 
first Napoleon under Willington, and Johanna Frederica Elizabeth Dorrien.  He 
was born in Horneburg, Hanover, on August 26, 1828, and after studying at the 
Polytechnic School of Hanover and the University of Gottingen, and some time

24, 1858, he married Eugenia Mathilda Wirz, daughter of Rev. Johann Carl 
Furchgott Wirz, who belonged to one of the best known families of Switzerland, 
and Fernandine Oswald, of Stuttgart, Germany.  Mrs. Meyer died April 25, 
1889.  The deceased was survived by three children : Alina Fernandine, who
