Bernard James Meyer was born on October 26, 1931, to Joseph Meyer and Elizabeth Shery Meyer in Butte Valley Township on the farm that was homesteaded in the early 1900s near Harlow. Bernard was the youngest of seven children born to Joseph and Elizabeth. He attended school in Harlow. Bernard married Jean Elverude of Churchs Ferry on September 1, 1955, at St. John the Baptist Catholic Church in Brinsmade. They made their home on the original Meyer homestead raising Black Angus cattle and hogs, plus small grains, for over 50 years. In recent years they had retired and rented out the land, although they continued to live on the farm. Bernard was a member of the St. Vincent de Paul Catholic Church of Leeds serving on the Parish Council as well as being involved in many other church activities. His family received the Apostolic Blessing from the Pope in 1983. He was also involved and served on the board of the North Dakota Pork Producers; was a member of the North Dakota and American Angus Associations; was a member and director for Benson County Farmers Union, Leeds-York Local and Butte Valley Local; was a member of the North Dakota Farmers Union; and was a former member of the Devils Lake Eagles. He was a great supporter of FFA and 4-H, serving as a volunteer for both organizations and helping his children with their projects when they were members. Recently he was a member of the 2012 Harlow Centennial Planning Committee. He enjoyed hunting, fishing- including his yearly trip to Canada, playing cards, and talking about raising big pigs and registered Black Angus cattle. He also was always willing to help others in any way he could. Survivors include his wife of Harlow; daughter: Tammy Meyer of Harlow; sister: Irene Risovi of Hamberg, ND; two brothers-in-law: John Piatz of Minot and LaVaine Christensen of Granville; and several nieces and nephews.
