  JACOB MEYERS retired farmer, P.O. Keller's Church, was 
born in Haycock township, January 27, 1807, and is a son of 
Jacob and Catherine (Younken) Meyers, and is the sixth son 
of seven children.  He received his education in the common 
schools.  In 1837 he married Caroline, daughter of Abraham 
and Catherine Zeigenfuss.  In 1839 a daughter was born to 
them.  Mr. Meyers was a farmer and distiller until the 
revenue tax law went into effect, and after that devoted his 
time exclusively to his farm until about 1870, when he 
retired and resigned his farm to his son-in-law, B. Frank 
Slifer.  He is a democrat and a member of the Reformed 
church.  His wife is a member of the Lutheran church.
