Notes
a. Note:   George's last name was spelled Meier in Germany; but, he adopted the spelling of Meyer in America. According to the 1900 US Census for Cincinnati, Hamilton County, Ohio, George Meyer came to this country in 1869. He was a naturalized citizen.
  I at first made an error in calculating his date of birth, not noticing that his date of burial, entered on his interment card was in error by one month. Upon recalculating, I found that his date of birth matched the date of birth in Germany except for being off one month, as well as the fact that his father's name was Bernard and the only Meier to have a father with that name. I believe that his age at death was more than likely actually calculated from the date of burial. It is not unusual to find slight errors in these calculations. The 1900 US Census listed his date of birth as Nov 1848. When figuring out the names, one must consider that in Germany, the first name was rarely used because it was actually a Saint's name, in the case of Catholics, therefore, most people used the middle name as their calling name, as did both George and Bernard.
  I have been so far unable to determine exactly how or when he came into the country.
 The date given on the 1900 US Census of 1869 cannot be proven; and, there is no trace of him in the 1870 US Census. The first evidence of him living in the US comes from his marriage record in July of 1876; and, I suspect the 1869 date to be in error.
 He worked as a master mantel maker (probably fireplace mantels) and a laborer. When he died, he was living at 2316 Guy Street in Cincinnati. Both he and his wife are buried in Edward Meyer's plot in St. Mary's Catholic Cemetery, Cincinnati, Hamilton County, Ohio.
