EDWARDSVILLE — County Board member William S. “Bill” Meyer is being remembered as a man who served his constituents and worked hard for the taxpayers. Meyer, 75, of Hamel died Thursday due to health complications. The Republican spent 18 years serving County Board District 3 and 22 years as a Village of Hamel trustee and six years as Village of Hamel president. “He served his district faithfully,” Chairman Kurt Prenzler said. Prenzler said Meyer always said it was an “honor serving the hard-working men and women of his district.” “Bill was ‘Mr. Hamel,’” Prenzler said. “He represented northeast Madison County well and used his experience in business on the County Board.” Meyer served on the board from 2000 to 2016 and from 2020 to 2023. He served on various committees including building and zoning, transportation, grants, and finance. County Board member Mick Madison of Bethalto said Myer would be missed.
