A Cousin Notes.

Dr. Charles Beyer came to this country as a Hessian soldier when a young man. After the Revolution he remained in this country, as did many others, studied medicine and graduated at a medical college in Philadelphia. In 1793 his name appears on the assessment roll of Union County as residing at Lewisburgh, and as a physician. He was probably the first physician to reside in the town. He continued practice from that time, until his death, September 13, 1830. His practice was throughout the Buffalo Valley, and, with Dr. Robert Van Valzah, he did the professional work in the early years of the county. He resided for many of the first years of his residence in a building on the north side of Buffalo Creek, near where the iron bridge crosses; later he resided near the water-works, and in his latter days built a frame house on Second Street, below the court house, where he died.

I received copies of biography on Charles Gottlieb Beyer, MD from the Union Co. Historical Society in June 2001 after an inquiry about Dr Beyer. The volunteer said it was from a book on Lewisburg Doctors pg 37 and page 38:

During the American Revolution, the rulers of the feudal German states sent about 10,000 men to the Colonists to aid the British, and Charles Beyer, as his name is usually written, was one of these. Many deserted, and Charles Beyer became a soldier in the Second Pennsylvania Regiment with the Colonists.

He married Polly Heilman of Bucks Co. Their children were probably: Charles Henry, born in 1793, died December 10, 1851. Daniel, born 1799, died October 21, 1828, aged 28 yrs. 2 mos, 8 days.

According to the History of the Susquehanna and Juniata Valleys, daughter Mary Theresa married John Beal on June 22, 1847. John was born in Mifflin County, and came to Lewisburg in 1839. He was a merchant tailor. His ancestor, John Beale, came over with William Penn in 1682. The son of this John H. Beale, of our account, was Erwin Morrison Beale, born September 11, 1849.

Dr. Charles Gottlieb Beyer was the first physician of Derrstown, now Lewisburg. He is said to have "read medicine" - the only physician in this immediate vicinity was Dr. Robert Van Valzah who came here about seven years before Dr. Beyer. Dr. Beyer "graduated from a medical school in Philadelphia in 1792 or 1793", this must have been the University of Pennsylvania Medical School, which received students in 1765 and graduated some in 1768.

He came to Derrstown in 1793. His son Charles Henry Beyer was born in 1793. He was assessed here the same year, and "with a log house" in 1796. They lived first on the north side of Buffalo Creek where the iron bridge was later located, on the road leading out of the present North Fourth Street; the bridge abutment is still discernible. Later the family lived near the present southwest corner of Third and St. Catherine Streets. In tracing back the history of her home at 227 South Third Street, Mrs. Anna Dreisbach Henderson (Dr. Joseph Henderson) finds that Charles S. Yoder bought this house at sheriff's sale on December 12, 1835 from Dr. Charles Beyer. (Dr. Beyer died September 13, 1830; so this was the Beyer Estate)

Another account places his home on South Second Street near the gas works, but this is an earlier home, a frame.

Later one of the Tustin professors bought the house from Charles S. Yoder and Mary Ann Yoder on April 12, 1865. In 1890 it was bought from Maria P. Tustin, and settlement made on October 5, 1895 by Sarah Kaler and passed to the Great Dreisbach family. In 1919 part of this house was "130 years old", no other property north to Market Street.

In 1813, the drab town of Lewisburg was laid out. There were 50 families and about 250 people. March 31, 1812, and Act was passed for the directors of streets, lanes and alleys. "The first ordinance passed was one requiring the opening of streets", the most of which were fenced in and cultivated at this time. They were finally open in 1813, except in the case of Dr. Charles Beyer, who, May 5, 1813, represented that he had not rails to fence with and if he was opened to the streets he had enclosed in his lots, it would be the great damage of his grain; and the directors agreeing that this was so, let him off, upon his agreeing to pay two bushels of wheat and two of rye, immediately after harvest, for use of the corporation; after which they were opened. (One wishes there were more accounts of their activities to stimulate our imagination and gratitude.) Dr. Beyer was associated with his student Dr. W. H. Backus, and Mrs. Backhouse, probably the mother, lived at lot 139, across Third Street. With Dr. Robert Van Valzah, they did the professional work of the Valley. he was well liked, was spoken about at many social occasions. This beautiful region was truly a "melting pot". Dr. Van Valzah from Hollan, Beyer from Germany, James Dougal of Milton from Ireland, and Dr. James Smith of Mifflinburg from England, all doctors on horseback , and carrying their primitive instruments and drugs in their saddle bags.

Dr. Beyer continued to practiced until his death on September 30, 1830, a period of 37 years. He was interred in the Lewisburg Cemetery.
