My dad worked for Hubert Lumber Co in town and they did a lot of work for Meyer. In fact I believe that Meyer and Krist Hubert and others began the MeyerLand subdivision. Since we had an open invitation, we went to the area often in the late 50s and early 60s to go fishing at the pond on the acreage (we called it "Meyer's Lake"). It was stocked with perch and other fish so for we small fry using cane poles it was a treat to catch "the whoppers". Meyer often held barbecues on the property for companies related to the construction business. Such a bucolic place before the urban sprawl.
Krist Hubert held many Stag Party’s at that location. They were mainly for the owners of businesses that did business with his lumber company. I watched some big pot poker games there after enjoying the Barbecue and beer. A couple of local politicians including Squaty Lyons played in those high stake games. This was in the early ‘60’s.
