They lived in the Soulard area. Soulard is an old neighborhood in St Louis. In this area, there was
also a place called Bohemian Hill. You can read about it here: Link
Frank
and John were baptized at St John Nepomuk Church, according to a
woman hired by Ruth Meyer Ashford and Dick Meyer to research the Meyer family. This was the first
Bohemian Catholic
Church built in America. Construction on St John Nepomuk started on
May 17th 1854.
These are two records that the researcher found that she says came from St John Nepomuck. The first is a Baptismal record dated 1-7-1854. Frank Meyer was not born until February of 1854, so it is unclear what this record means. The second is a marriage record for Franz Meyer and Marie Klinger. This is likely a copy that was made for St John Nepomuk's records.
Franz Meyer died on January 8, 1868 and was buried in Sts. Peter & Paul's Cemetery, according to his death record.
This date is confirmed by Marie Klinger Meyer Borovicka's deposition for a Civil War Widow's Pension.
