I believe Patrolman Meyer was my Great grandfather. This is a beautiful piece of family history to uncover. The dates and story match up to what I was told as a child and with one aunt and uncle remaining, (Patrolman Meyer’s grandchildren) I am uncovering bits and pieces to my mother’s side of the family in the NYC area. I am so very grateful to read the above posts and wish to thank those who have written and remembered him.

Sincerely,
Deirdre Kuzio
