I should know when he left iowa. And how old he was and should know maybe how old he was when he went to califnia. But I didn't think that far when I posted and haven't given it a whole lot of thought. The book lists his first child as Paul but no date. His brother are Wilbert Romayne, Edward John, Ferris William, Kenneth Wilder and Charles Henry. This charles bvorn feb. 25, 1926 in churdan iowa. He was buried in Williamsburg, iowa around aug. 9, 1970. He was in business administration and social work. Charles first child was born iowa city in 1950. If i check census and see when the other children were born then i'd have a clue if he went to iowa. a different topic maybe peertaining to calif... I remember a relative mentioning a gold panner and mentioning someone being a hobo.Probably two different people. I will need to ask the Meyer relatives without offending. I thank you for your help. Have you heard of that unidentified people photo web area. Is that still around? It was appreciated very much.
