It seems my Meyers died in an auto crash with train in either 1918 or 1919 at Lombard Illn.. They had been on their way or from to see or did see relatives in Battlecreek, Mi.It took nearly the whole Fred Meyer Juergen Heinrich Friedrich or Frederick Meyer family of churdan Iowa. Any one who would be this Fred's sibling would have to have the father to be Juergen Friedrich Meyer and the surname of Luhmann for mother or some other woman that Friedrich could have married after her death [ speculation] in 1855. the grandparents would be Johan Juergen meyer and Maria Elisabeth Behrens. I believe the ancestor before on her side was Schultze. This branch of the family were settled in dahlenburg= Luneburg Heide area. or Niedersachen. However, Fred was listed as being from Bleckede. He may have came to america in 1868 or so. His brother came 1884. I will list other possible ancestors surnames
