Joesph Meyers was born December 1859 at Milwaukee, Wisconsin to Charles Meyers and Maria Zahesky. To this union two boys were born, Charles 1856 and our subject Joseph. His mother died when he was just a baby not much more than a year old, during the year of 1861.
His father Charles, along with grandfather Ferdinand Meyer, (the S in Meyers added later in life), came to America from Germany sometime in the 1850s. After Joseph's mother had died, his father Charles married the sister of Maria, Josehine Zahesky. The family soon after the Civil War moved to Porterfield area as his father worked in the lumber industry as a log roller on the river, to which he had drowned in 1866.
Joseph Meyers along with his family are only a few to survive the great Peshtigo fire of Oct 8th 1871 unharmed. On October 8, 1871, the most devastating forest fire in American history swept through Northeast Wisconsin, claiming 1200 lives.
Joseph married Anna Vogels on Nov., 4, 1890 at Marinette Wisconsin. To this union they have nine children, Rose Marie 1891, Florence K 1893, Joseph 1895, Marie Ann 1897, Marie Joanne 1899 died 1899, Agnes L 1903, Gertrude 1904, John 1906 died 1906, Mary Phyllis 1909.
Remains of the late Joseph Meyers, 74, well known pioneer settler of Porterfield, Wis., who died in Evanston, Ill., Wednesday morning, where he had been residing for the past eight years, are expected to arrive in Marinette Friday morning via the C. & N.

Kaminski of St. Joseph's church in Walsh will officiate.
The remains will be placed in the Mausoleum at Forest Home until spring, when interment will be made in the family plot in the cemetery at Walsh.
Friends of the deceased are asked to note the change in the time and place of services which were to be held in St. Joseph's church at Walsh, but because of the extreme cold will be conducted in St. Anthony's church here instead.
