Two years later he came to St. Louis, and in 1859, in connection with Louis BUDDE, went into the wholesale grocery business in Quincy. In 1867, he took a trip to Europe, his health having been impaired. Returning he devoted himself to the business with renewed energy. Several years later Louis BUDDE withdrew from the business and Frederick W. MEYER formed a partnership with W. S. WARFIELD. This firm continued until 1890, when F. W. MEYER withdrew, to devote his attention to the First National Bank, of which he became cashier. Finally he went to California where he died August 12, 1899. Frederick W. MEYER married Eleanor REYLAND, a daughter of the old pioneer Philip J. REYLAND. She died in California some time ago, where she had gone with her three daughters."
