    Obituary:
    Meyer, DeForest A. "Swede"
    DeForest Meyer, age 90, passed away on Tuesday, September 15, 2009, at St. Elizabeth Hospital after a brief illness. DeForest was born on August 29, 1919, in Greenville, to the late Albert and Marie (Much) Meyer. He married Valoise Miller on June 21, 1941, at the Methodist Church in New London. DeForest farmed the family homestead for 31 years prior to moving to Appleton. While in Appleton he was a certified welder and later a foreman at Badger Northland. Moving to Plainfield, DeForest and Valoise owned and operated the Pine Grove Restaurant and Motel and a large Christmas Tree farm. The couple returned to Appleton upon his semi-retirement. DeForest enjoyed woodworking, traveling, camping, gardening and bird watching. He was well-known for his ability to fix anything mechanical and his sense of humor as a trickster and storyteller. DeForest loved his grandchildren, his great-grandchildren, and was eagerly awaiting the birth of his first great-great-grandchild.
    Survivors include Valoise, his wife of 68 years; his daughter, Betty Lou Seegers (fiance John), Menasha; her children Dawn (Carl) Baumgarten, and her children, Christopher DeForest (Christina) DeCoster, Amy (Christopher) Gehrke, and Alex Baumgarten; Betty's daughter, Tamara (Bill) Kain, and their children, Brianna, Austin, Adam and Amber Kain; and Betty's son, Travis Seegers; DeForest's son, Jerald (Doreen) Meyer, New London, their children Becky (Josh) Maschinski and their son Chase, and Jesse Meyer (friend Annie) and their children Zoe and Zander.
