By 1898 they had moved to Postville, IA which is about 25 miles NW of Clayton Center. When I went to Clayton Co. in June I could not find any information on my family. I did find their graves at the Zion Lutheran Church Cemetery across the street from the church in Clayton Center, Clayton Co., IA. I went through Guttenburg on my way to Clayton Center. It is a very nice town and I still want to go back as it has a very nice antique shop I was too late to go through. I think your Meyer family is another one other than mine although my great grand father went by the name of Charles Meyer and he had a son by the same name. There was a John Meyer family from Guttenburg also. I will need to look up the information I have on them. I wish there was a connection as I am up a brick wall. Meyer is a very common name and hard to trace. Were your Meyer's from Mecklenburg? Please reply.
