JOSEPH MEYER |
 | | JOSEPH MEYER, was born in the city of Baltimore, Maryland, about the year 1815, and 1818 his parents came westward and took up their residence in Stark county, Ohio, where his father took up a track of wild land, which he eventually reclaimed to a large extent, placing the land under effective cultivation. |
 | | Joseph grew to maturity on the pioneer farm, and early began to assist in the work of reclaiming the land and preparing it for the plowshare, by which it has now been furrowed and re-furrowed for years, bearing slight resemblance to the sylvan wild which was in evidence when his parents took up their abode. |
 | | Joseph and Catherine (Meyer) Meyer became the parents of five children, namely: Elizabeth O., who is the wife of John F. Blake, of Canton; Edward J., a successful farmer of Canton township; George W., of Canton; Catherine C., who remains wit her mother in the homestead; and Henry C., who died in 1894. |
