They are buried at the Clayton Center Cemetery in Clayton Center, IA. My great grandfather was John Carl Meyer. He went by many different names: Chas. Meyer, Karl Meier, Carl Meyer, Carl Meier, J C Meier. He was born December 31, 1838 in Meckenberg and died in 1912. My great grandmother was Elisabeth Wille born in 1852 in Prussia and died in 1925. I think I have found them on the ship Vandalia coming from Hamburg, Germany on May 27, 1872 and getting married in Cook County, IL (Chicago) on September 28, 2872. They were Lutheran and attended the Zion Lutheran Church in Clayton Center, IA. They owned land North of the church. They had 11 children - 9 survived. One was my grandmother. We are looking for our great grandparent's extended family such as siblings, cousins, aunt's & uncles. I have the information coming down the tree on our branch.
