Fred provided for his family by farming. Cause of Death: Intestinal Obstruction Added info from Dawn: FREDERICK BEYER, a prosperous farmer residing in section 8, Merritt township, was born in Michelbach, Bavaria, Germany, September 6, 1844, and is a son of Christian and Christine (Brunenmeyer) Beyer. Christian Beyer was born in Bavaria Germany, August 1, 1813, and came to America in 1854, locating in Lower Saginaw, now Bay City, Michigan. He worked in sawmills and cut cord-wood until he retired and went to live at the home of his son, Frederick, where he died July 6, 1900, at the age of eighty-seven years. He was always a very active and energetic man and continued so to the time of his death, having been walking around the house within a half hour of the final summons. He was a Democrat in politics. Religiously, he was a member of the German Lutheran Church, and three times assisted in building the German Lutheran Church at Madison avenue and Eighth street, Bay City. He married Christine Brunenmeyer, who was born in Bavaria, Germany, and died in Bay City, at the age of 69 years and five days. They were parents of four children, as follows: Adam, a farmer of Portsmouth township; Frederick, our subject; John, who died at the age of 15 years; and Mary, of Muskegon, Michigan. Frederick Beyer when a boy came to this country with his brother, their parents having preceded them to this country about one year. They made the journey from Hamburg to New York in a sailing vessel, the voyage consuming 42 days, and during this period occurred the 11th anniversary of the birth of our subject. The law at that time was such that Frederick and his brother were too young to travel alone, so a friendly lady took oath that she would see the boys safely to their parents. She took them to Buffalo, Detroit, Toledo and Chicago, finally leaving them in the latter city. There they remained for seven weeks, the landlord of their house taking excellent care of them, and when he finally sent them to their uncle in Aurora, Illinois, returned their money to them. They lived with their uncle two months and then went to Pontiac, Michigan, by rail, thence by stage to Saginaw, where they joined their father and mother. All the trouble had been caused by letters being missent. Frederick lived at home until he reached the age of 23 years, working in a sawmill as early as he was able. Later, in partnership with his brother, he conducted a lath and stave mill for some years. Later they both moved to Portsmouth township, Bay County, each buying a tract of 40 acres of good farm land, which they cultivated. Frederick Beyer sold his 40 acres to good advantage and purchased a farm of 120 acres in section 8, Merritt township, where he has since resided. He has since disposed of 60 acres of this farm by sale, and one acre by donation to the church, retaining 59 acres at the present time. At the time he acquired it, the property was all woodland and unimproved. He cleared it of its timber and erected a number of good substantial buildings, necessary for the successful pursuit of farming. With the hardheads he cleared from his place he built the foundation for his home, which is one of the best farm houses in the township. He has engaged in general farming and stock-raising; making a specialty of Jersey and Durham cattle of a high grade, and keeps an average of about 12 head, of which five are usually milch cows. On April 28, 1869, Frederick Beyer was united in marriage with Rosena Armbruster, who was born in Ohio, February 12, 1850, and was a daughter of William Armbruster, of Wurtemburg, Germany. She died May 8, 1889, having given birth to the following children: Fred, of Bay City; Mary, wife of George Berndall, of Bay City; William, of Muskegon, Michigan; Annie, wife of John Kamiscke, of Detroit; Adam, who died young; Maggie, wife of Walter Pertenfelder, of Bay City; Adam, who lives in Bay City, Matthew, of Bay City; and Dora. On September 20, 1890, Mr. Beyer married Mrs. Justina Mayer, nee Koebres, widow of Fred Mayer and a daughter of Adam Koebres of Germany. She was born in Wurtemburg, Germany, February 24, 1850, and after her first husbands death came to this country with her two children: Charles Mayer, of Merrit township; and Maggie(Man)of Bay City. As a result of this union Mr. and Mrs. Beyer have a son Henry, who is attending school at Bay City. Our subject was a Democrat in politics until recent years; he is now a Republican. He served as highway commissioner three years, as drainage commissioner two years, as justice of the peace eight years, as treasurer of Merritt township two years, and as township clerk 13 consecutive years, filling that office at the present time. Owing to the delicate condition of his health he has refused offices of greater responsibility. He is a member of the German Lutheran Church, to which he donated one acre of his farm, and assisted in the erection of the present church.
