"GEORGE P. EYLER, P.O. Harney, Md., was born in Frederick County, Md., May 6, 1852, son of Perry and Anna Mary Carolina (Warnfeltz) Eyler, natives of Maryland, the father of German and the mother of English and German extraction. Perry Eyler had been occupied as a farmer through life and is now living retired in Harney, Md. He had born to him seven children, of whom George P. is the third. Our subject was reared on his father’s farm and first attended the district schools, then passed two years in Carroll County Academy, with a view of obtaining a classical education, but owing to poor health and weak eyes he was compelled to abandon the idea. Subsequently he took charge of his father’s farm, and has since been actively engaged in agricultural pursuits, and also to some extent has been engaged in stock-growing. In 1882, he was married to Anna Caroline, daughter of Abraham Hesson, and a native of Pennsylvania, of German descent. To Mr. and Mrs. Eyler have been born two children: Lester Allen and George Edgar. Mrs. Eyler is a member of the Lutheran Church, and Mr. Eyler of the United Brethren. He takes an active interest in church matters, and has served as superintendent of the Sabbath-school of the church. "
