They continued to reside in Ozaukee county until 1884 when they disposed of their holdings there and came to the town of Brothertown, purchasing what was known as Jos. Hein place in the eastern portion of that town. Mr. Meyers was an industrious, thrifty farmer and his sole ambition was to provide well for his family and bring them up to be respected citizens of his adopted country which he had learned to love and honor and that he has done this all who know the family will testify.
