FRANK A. MEYER
Born in Calaveras County,
California, Frank A. Meyer first saw the light on October 21, 1887, the son of
John and Mary (Fisher) Meyer; the former now deceased, having been a native of
California. John Meyer came out to
California in 1856, and having settled in Calaveras County he followed mining
and agriculture. Twelve children were
born to this worthy pioneer couple, and ten of this number is now living. Frank A. Meyer attended the local schools in
Calaveras County, and in time he took a normal course in the Western School of
Commerce in Stockton. On his return to
Calaveras County, he taught school for a year and a half; and then he took a
business course in a Stockton business college; after that he entered the
employ of the Stockton Savings and Loan Bank as bookkeeper, where he remained
for four and one-half years. He then
entered the Commercial & Savings Bank of Stockton as teller, and after
awhile was made assistant cashier, and finally cashier.
In 1921 he resigned his position in
the bank, and on October 5 he was appointed secretary of Lodge No. 218 of the
Elks, his selection being the natural expression of esteem and confidence on
the part of a legion of friends. He is
also a member of Morning Star Lodge, F. & A. M.; Charity Lodge No. 6, I. O.
O. F.; and the Pohono Tribe of Red Men.
The marriage of Mr. Meyer united him
with Miss Oleta Dennis, a native of Calaveras County, and they have one
daughter, Jane Alice. Mr. Meyer commands
the respect of his fellowmen by his sterling worth and is an honored California
son.
