Published Account of Fred Meyer: Prosser, William Farrand, "A HISTORY OF THE PUGET SOUND COUNTRY", Volume II, The Lewis Publishing Company, New York, 1903, pp529 - 531.
Date of Birth: Nov 1825 from 1900 Census (Washington, Pierce ED152 7 of 22 from Ancestry.com)
Reported in The Columbian Newspaper, Olympia Washington Territory, Saturday, July 23, 1853
Married On Tuesday, the 12th inst., near Fort Steilacoom, by Henry Murry, Esq., Mr. Frederick Meyer and Miss Louisa Relyea, both of Pierce county.
Frederick Meyer, a blue-eyed flaxon haired German of medium height and weight came to New York at about 18 years of age. He enlisted inthe U. S. Army twice. Upon mustering out, probably in 1848 at the end of the Mexican War, he moved to Steilacoom, Washington territory, where he worked as a millright and helped build a flour mill for Thomas M.Chambers near Steilacoom. He later worked as a miller there for many years.After marriage to Louisa, (a French girl of very dark complexion,dark hair and dark eyes, aged about fourteen), they took up a Donation Land Claim of 320 acres. About 1870 (or later) Meyer took up an 80 acre Homestead Claim near the 320 acres, and they lived on this land until 1879, when Louisa left him.
The 1880 divorce Decree issued by Judge Hensel, on grounds of desertion and unfaithfulness by the wife, gave Meyer custody of four minor children, namely Ellen, William, Henry and George. The decree also freed him from custody and care of the two children, Martha & Daisy, taken from him by his wife.
NOTE: The divorce decree of 1880 says "MARTHA & DAISY", the two youngest children were admitted by their mother NOT to be the children of Frederick Meyer, so Louisa took them with her when she left with Phillip Heindselman.
Frederick Meyer was married to Agatha Chamber, widow of Thomas M. Chamber in 1881.Frederick Meyer and his wife, Agnette Larson Chambers Meyer and Frederick Nachtsheim, and his wife, Anna Waddigan Nachtsheim filed the Plat for the Township of Custer in the area of the north end of Steilacoom Lake, Pierce county, Washington on 27th September 1889.

Historical info on cemetery: "The Byrd Cemetery"
There is an 11 page history of cemetery ("The Byrd Cemetery-Brief History") written by relative Leland J. Athow in 1963. It is contained in the Tacoma Geneological Society's publication "Old Cemeteries of Washington" which can be found in the Geneological Room in the Downtown Branch of the Tacoma Library. The following is an excerpt from "The Byrd Cemetery-Brief History": "Adam Byrd was born in Virginia October 9. 1796. The family migrated to Ohio, Kentucky, Illinois and finally to Wisconsin. In 1852 Adam Byrd decided to come to the coast. He successfully conducted the journey of his family and six of his children and their families, by covered wagons, across the plains and over the mountains from Wisconsin to Puget Sound. The family settled in the Steilacoom area. Adam Byrd was not privileged to enjoy life very long in the west because he was afflicted wtih Bright's disease. When he became aware that his days were numbered, he selected as his final resting place, a beautiful spot high on a hill on the property chosen by his son, Francis Marion Byrd, as a Donation Claim. Adam died April 26, 1853 and was buried on the plot he had selected. Between the time of Adam's burial and 1881, when the last burial was made there, about one hundred pioneer settlers were buried in the graveyard, which had become known as the Byrd Cemetery."

Manitoba
The Manitoba tartan, designed by Hugh Kirkwood Rankine was registered at the Court of the Lord Lyon, King of Arms of Scotland, was given Royal Assent on May 1, 1962. The red squares represent the Red River Settlement; the green squares signify the natural resources of the province; the azure blue squares represent Lord Selkirk, the founder of the Red River Settlement; the dark green lines represent the people of different cultures and races who have enriched the life of the province; and the golden lines signify the grain and other agricultural products of Manitoba.
http://www3.sympatico.ca/goweezer/canada/can1800.htm
Meanwhile, the Red River Settlement began in Canada's north-west. With the help of land grants by the Hudson's Bay Company to Lord Selkirk, Canadians began settling and working the Red River Valley in present-day Southern Manitoba.
http://robert-crouch.com/pion.html
Many of the pioneers who came from the Red River settlement in Canada in 1841 and those who homesteaded in the vicinity of Roy are buried there. Among them are the following: Phillip Byrd, William Rowland Sr., William Gregg, Magnus Burston, Thomas Throssell, Henry Spence, Henry Lyons, James Brewer, C. Cook and Isaac Bastian. Some were married before they came and others married after coming, but, in the most part, they married daughters of other pioneers."

Spence Family
Mrs. Letitia Gregg Spence inherited the farm of her father (William Greigg) and lived there most of their life. She was born on the home place and after her father died, moved from their homestead and took care of her mother who had lived on the place all her life. When Mr. Gregg died, they enlisted the aid of Dave Huggins to do the legal work attached to the transfer of the property to the legal heirs. Mr. and Mrs. Spence kept a well balanced farm and had plenty of cattle, sheep, turkeys, ducks and always maintained several horses including riding ones. They were good horsemen. At one time they owned a fine race horse. They took great pride in the care of their horse at all times. Horse racing was great sport in those early days. Mr. and Mrs. Spence were wonderful farmers. They had a fine garden along the creek bottom land. They also had an abundance of hay for their stock. It is supposed that Mr. & Mrs. Spence are buried here, but not confirmed.
