He was married in Germany in September 1860 and came to America in July 1872, settling first on a farm near Garnavillo, and six years later moved to a farm northeast of Postville which he occupied for 20 years, coming to Postville in 1898 and has resided here continuously since, and where his wife died in October 1907, since which time he has made his home with his daughter, Mrs. Geo. HEIN. Of the nine children born to them, two died in infancy; the remaining severn - Mrs. Louise KAMP, Louis, CHRIS, Henry, C.F., Mrs. Minnie HEIN, and Mrs. Emma HEIN - all are resident of this city and locality and all of whom were present at the funeral which was held on Thursday afternoon at two o'clock from St.Paul's Lutheran church, Rev. E. SCHMIDT officiating. Interment in Postville cemetery. Mr. MEIER was well and widely known as an upright, honorable and industrious man and good citizen, who during his active years by industry and thrift acquired a competence of this world's goods, which permitted him to spend his declining years in comfort. He was a member of St. Paul's church for a period of forty years, during all of which time until ill health forbade, he took an active part in church affairs, contributing to its upkeep and being a very frequent attendant upon its services. Mr. MEIER's demise was due more to the infirmities incident to old age than to any specific cause. In his passing the community loses a good citizen and his family a kind and indulgent father, who has fought the good fight, finished his course and his end is peace. In this connection the family wish to extend their heartfelt thanks to the many friends and neighbors for their solicitous care and kindly acts so generously extended during the last illness and burial of their beloved father.
