Josephine Emily Locher was born on January 16, 1868, in Appenzell, Appenzell Inner Rhodes, Switzerland, her father, Karl, was 27, and her mother, Helena, was 19. She married John Meyer and they had one daughter together. She then married Johann John Meyer and they had ten children together. She died on December 12, 1947, in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, at the age of 79, and was buried there.
Josephine Emily Locker Meyer's Story
Josephine and her 2 sisters arrived in America from Switzerland together at 19
yrs old.
The following is a letter I received from my Aunt Doris Meyer Benner (Daughter
of Harry Meyer and Elsie McMullen Meyer). Harry Meyer is the son of Emily Locker
Meyer. I thought about editing it for clarity, but left it in it's original form
with the exception of spelling errors. There are some words that were not
legible and thus were either omitted or interpreted.
Dear Jimmy,
Sorry my typewriter days are over at 72years old my fingers are not very
flexible on the key board. I sent a copy of your family tree web page to my son
Ken. He lives in New Hampshire and I know he would like to correspond with you.
Now about the Switzerland Family Tree. Here is a few interesting side stories.
Josephine Emily Locker is your Great Grandmother. She went back to Switzerland
on a visit with her three children, Menga, Frank and William who was a toddler.
William drowned in a lake in Switzerland. Josephine was pregnant and gave birth
while she was over there. The family decided to use the first William's(drowning
victim) Birth certificate to get the new William Mckinley(recently given birth
to) back to America. Sounds like these Lockers were smart cookies.
My cousin Jean visited last summer and gave me this information. She had visited
Switzerland with her daughter and her Husband who spoke German. I found out the
Lockers were Catholic.
There has always been a question in my mind why Grandmom came over here when the
Lockers were a "Well-to-do" Family and successful business men; owning a lumber
mill, Beer Brewery, and also a cotton Mill. Jean thinks it could be there
father. She was told he was a hard man to live with. I think it could have been
religion. When she came to Philadelphia she joined the Presbyterian Church.
Another story - During the Prohibition years, Grandmom's Oldest boy, Frank Meyer
, drove a whiskey truck for Al Capone; a big Gangster in his day. Frank could
not go into the state of Pennsylvania as the "Feds" were watching Grandmom
Meyer's House. He settled in California. The other children became hard working
citizens. As a child I had always heard that Frank was the "Black Sheep" of the
Family.(Could be more to the story)
I didn't know anything about the Meyer family except that John Meyer was put on
board a ship by his sisters when he was 12 years old. He worked as a Cabin Boy.
His older brothers were in the German Army and writing home for food and
clothing. The sisters didn't want young John drafted. He jumped ship on one of
his landings in America.
Well Jimmy, that's all the information on your GrandFather's side of the family.
I believe your Mother "Marion" told you about your Grandmother Elsie's side of
the Family. Hope you can understand this. I'll let you type it.
Fondly,
Aunt Doris (Daughter of Harry Meyer and Elsie McMullen Meyer) Entered by Jim
Kelley (son of Marion Meyer Kelley and Dave Kelley).
