THE HISTORIC JOHN MEYER GRAVESITE

Picture taken by Jeremy Tuggle on September 17, 2022. 

This sandstone marker marks the burial site of John Meyer my maternal great-great-great granduncle. The inscription is faded on the marker itself. When John Meyer was born on November 5, 1864, at Cow Creek, in Shasta County, California, his father, Frederick Valentine Meyer Sr., was 35 years of age and his mother, Caroline Louise (Notten) Meyer, was 22 years of age. John Meyer had seven brothers and six sisters. He died on March 6, 1865, at Cow Creek, near the present-day town of Bella Vista. John Meyer's father, Frederick Valentine Meyer Sr., was a miner and farmer who came to the town of Shasta in 1851 and settled in the area. We believe this is this only burial at this location.
