After I got to know that the brothers of my great-grandmother emigrated to the USA I tried to find them at ancestry. I did't had much hope for Meyer is a very common name. But I found Gustav for I had the name of his wife and her parents, too, and since then I am in contact with descendants of Louis's nephew Heinrich.

Louis married 10.10.1889 in St. Louis. His wife was Louise Marie Pohl, born 13.06.1865, died 30.01.1897, daughter of Henry Pohl and his wife Marie, nee Huhn and sister of his sister in law. They had one son, Harry, born 24.03.1891.

Second marriage on 05.12.1897 with Anna Hartmann, born 07.03.1870, died 20.12.1926, daughter of Friedrich and Wilhelmine Hartmann. There's a son, too, Elmer, born 1903.
