      FRANK MEYER, a general merchant and dealer in dry goods, groceries, boots
  and shoes and other lines of trade at Mildred, is one of the successful and
  progressive men of that place. He occupies a new store and carries an extensive
  stock, and his large acquaintance throughout the county is such as to bring him
  an excellent trade. He was born in Cherry township, Sullivan county, September
  10, 1856, where his father, John Meyer, was an early settler. The latter was
  born in 1800 in Lehigh county, Pennsylvania, and was of German descent. He
  remained in Lehigh county until 1853, when he removed to Cherry township,
  Sullivan county, where he was married to Miss Mary Hoffa, who is still living at
  Mildred. The father died in 1864. They were the parents of four children: Frank;
  Matilda Lily, of Dushore; Henry, living at Beach Tree, Jefferson county; and
  Cora, wife of Charles Hererly, of Lopez. The father was a farmer by occupation,
  politically was a Democrat and in religion a Lutheran.
  
      Frank Meyer, the subject of this review, was carefully reared by his
  parents, whose teachings he has endeavored to follow during his life. He was
  reared on the home farm and received a good education in the common schools. He
  was married when twenty-two years of age to Miss Emma Vogel, who was born and
  educated in Germany and was sixteen years old when she came with her family to
  Pennsylvania. Mr. and Mrs. Meyer have four children - Raymond, Ruth, Julius and
  Henry.
  
      Mr. Meyer had followed various business pursuits, such as mining, lumbering
  and general jobbing, before taking up his present occupation. In 1893 he went
  into the coal trade at Hughesville, but remained only six or eight months when
  he sold out at a good profit and returned to Mildred. He owns the building in
  which his store is located and also two good dwelling-houses, and has been
  successful in his business enterprises. He is an intelligent and progressive
  man, honorable in his transactions with others, and in politics is a stanch
  Democrat.
