According to William Maier's grandson, Harold, William Maier donated the land for St. John Lutheran Church (I believe it was first called the German Lutheran Church) and helped to get it started. It seems therefore likely that he would be one of the signers of the constitution. Important Note: The author of this message may not be subscribed to this list.
