From Der Nord Westen, 02 Feb. 1905:
Last week we reported the 18 Jan. death of Nicolaus Meyer,
a resident of Town Manitowoc Rapids, but did not print
biographical material which was not yet in our hands.
Nicolaus Meyer was born 06 Dec. 1823 in Grand Duchy Baden.
As a young man of 25 he came to America in 1848, traveling
on to Manitowoc County where he settled in Town Kossuth at
a time when it was still just a wilderness and was populated
by more Indians than whites. He established a farm with all
of the trials which pioneer life then entailed and which the
present generation is unable to appreciate. He operated the
farm until 13 yrs. ago when he retired and went to live with
his son-in-law, Jacob Braun in Manitowoc Rapids. His wife,
with whom he lived happily over 50 yrs, preceded him in death
12 yrs. ago. He leaves 3 sons and a daughter (the wife of the
above mentioned Jacob Braun). The funeral was held Sat.
afternoon in the city cemetery.
