Elizabeth Priode Geyer was Samuel Geyer’s mother. Elizabeth’s husband had been Lutheran in his early life but converted to German Methodist and became a circuit rider in Ohio. After his death in 1898 Elizabeth came up and spent a lot of time with her son Sam and his wife Mary at Chuckery. She enjoyed be able to converse in German with the Lutheran pastor at St. Paul’s as she said they spoke the same German dialect. She never gave up her Lutheran faith. She and her husband were both immigrants to Meigs County from Germany.
