Bob, thank you for your reply and the information. Carl was my dad. I was interested in obtaining information about the early years of the Davenport police department. What many people didn't know is that both of dads grandfathers were on the force in the early 1900's. Their names were Edward Brehmer and August Meyer. I am researching August and have been unable to locate where he was born in Germany, I was hoping some early records might have that information. Thank you for your reply. Marcia Meyer Strieck, Bettendorf, Iowa. P.S. My uncle was Don Vieger.
