Here the mother died, but the father is still living. Fred Geyer was reared to farming and worked for this father until of age. In 1860, he married Miss Barbara, daughter of John A. and Barbara Stimer, and a native of Morgan County, and to this union have been born four children Tazewell J., George U.. Emma J., and Ora A. For about ten years, Mr. and Mrs. Geyer resided in Tippecanoe County, then came to this township and purchased eighty acres on Section 7, which he has since improved greatly. Both Mr. and Mrs. G. are members of the Methodist Episcopal Church.
