From A History of St. Joseph County, Indiana by Timothy E. Howard, 1907, page 1010 (continued from Edmund Geyer bio)

On the 25th of May, 1889, Mr. Geyer was united in marriage to Miss Martha E. King, and their two children are LaVerne B., who received a diploma from the county schools in the class of 1906, and is now a student in the North Liberty high school, and she has also received musical instruction, and Leo P., who is a bright and intelligent student in the fourth grade of school. Mrs. Geyer was born in Bethany, Harrison county, Missouri, July 28, 1865, the younger of the two children, a son and daughter, born to Daniel and Annie (Mullet) King. The son is William N. King, who is engaged in teaching in Cowley county, Kansas. Mr. King was born in Coshocton county, Ohio, and his entire active business career was devoted to agricultural pursuits, while politically he was a Republican. Mrs. King was born in Holmes county, Ohio in 1840, and she now makes her home with her daughter. Mrs. Geyer was but a babe of two years when the family returned to Holmes county, Ohio, attaining to years of maturity in the Buckeye state and receiving her education in its common schools. She is a lady of pleasing personality, and her cheery manner is a blessing in her home.

Mr. and Mrs. Geyer began their married life in the old Geyer home, there remaining for one year, and in 1890 located on their present farm which comprises one hundred acres in one tract and seventy in another, and all lies in Liberty township. They have remodeled their residence, erected a large barn and other buildings, and their home is known as 'Lakeview'. Mr. Geyer cast his first presidential vote for Benjamin Harrison, having ever since continued to support the principles of the Republican party, and he has often times been selected as delegate to the county conventions. Both he and his wife are members of the Methodist Episcopal church, as are also their children and the family is one of the honored ones of St Joseph county.
