I am looking for any information on a Henry Meyer. He was the son of Caroline (Carrie) Meyer Fees. We don't have any information on his father but believe he was illegitimate born in Bavaria Germany. He came to the United States in 1891 or 1892 as a very young child. It is believed he came here with his mother, grandfather (Heinrich Meyer) and his grandmother (Caroline Lacy Meyer). They settled in Aurora, Illinois. ( I am not sure they went directly to Aurora but that is where I was told they lived). His mother married Michael Fees on March 24, 1892 in Aurora Illinois (Kane County). Michael Fees was a farmer in Oswego Illinois and had come to the U.S. in 1887 on the Saale from Germany. (I would also like any info on the Fees family too.) I believe his parents names are Andrew and Fredricka Fees. They lived in Waldeck, Germany. Michael also had 2 sisters that also settled in Oswego by the names of Freterita Fees who married John Hoch on February 10, 1891 and Minnie Fees who married Charles Miller on September 6, 1891. On the 1900 Census it shows Michael (head) born October 1858 and age 43. Caroline (wife) born February 1862 and age 39. Henry (son) born May 1889 and age 11. Michael and Caroline went on to have 2 sons named Otto (he is my great grandfather) and Alfred. They are listed on 1900 census as Otto born on Jan. 29 and age 7. Alfred born on Nov.29 and age 3. Michael and Caroline married 8 years. I never found out what happened to Caroline's parents. Michael and Caroline moved to Hanover township Illinois with Otto and Alfred but I am not sure when. Henry stayed on in Oswego. He is listed on the 1920 census as head and age 30. Anna (wife) age 28. Caroline (daughter) age 5, Francis (daughter) age 3, Margaret (daughter) age 1. On the 1930 census for Oswego Township, Kendall County (image 13) Henry (head) age 40. Anna (wife) age 39, Caroline (daughter) age 14, Frances (daughter) age 12, Margaret (daughter) age 10, Ruth (daughter) age 8, Henry (son) age 6, Betty Jane (daughter) age 2, and Robert Donald (son) age 1 month. Henry is a farmer. Any information on Henry's wife or children would also be of great interest to me. I would be interested in hearing anything about the people I have mentioned. Thank you for your time. Kim Nelson Elgin, Illinois kimnelson57@hotmail.com or knelson@premierrates.com Please post query on the internet. Thank you.
