J. C. Meyer, Sr. —This venerable and beloved veterinarian, 
pioneer and ever loyal, died of heart failure, at his late resi¬ 
dence, 2230 St. James Street, Cincinnati, Ohio, on Jan. 15, 
full of years and honors. His death was superinduced by grip, 
from which he had suffered for a week or more. He was born 
September 13, 1824, in Canton Schaffhausen, Switzerland, and 
was left an orphan at eleven years. His early schooling was re¬ 
ceived at Zurich, and his veterinary education at Stuttgart and 
Vienna, graduating from the latter place in 184S. Coming to 
America in 1849, located at Reading, Pa., afterwards at 
Trenton, N. J., where he met with only moderate success. He re¬ 
moved to the West ten years later, establishing himself at Cin¬ 
cinnati, where he practised uninterruptedly until 1893, when 
failing health compelled his retirement from professional pur¬ 
suits. He was a member of the American Veterinary Medical 
Association, the Ohio State Veterinary Medical Association, the 
Deutsche Veterarische Club, the German Pioneer Verein, and 
the Musicians’ Benevolent Association. He leaves a widow, four 
daughters, and one son. Dr. J. C. Meyer, Jr. 
No man in this country was better known to the older mem¬ 
bers of the profession, nor more beloved for his many good 
qualities professionally and personally, and his demise will be sin¬ 
cerely mourned in all quarters of the country where veterinary 
medicine is known.
