Found this by chance when coming across the name Rueben Ettinger on the 1910 census-

(census page was hard to read and the surname of Clara was not clear. Therefore it
may not be correctly interpreted in spelling as I have done. I tried to find it again in the
census index with the spelling I used but was unsuccessful so apparently I used a
different spelling than what was indexed. Further checking of Clara in the various
marriage, birth, and death matches on Ancestry.com came up with negative results.)

on Jun 15, 2002, email John Martin Meyer, b. Sept 27, 1819 Auggen, Baden, Germany, d. Oct 5, 1886 Holt Co, MO, buried Maple Grove
Cemetery, Oregon, Holt Co, MO (came to America in 1842), md Mary Catherine Sowers in 1847 in Brown Co, KS; she was b. Oct 22, 1827 Auggen,
Baden, Germany, d. Jun 13, 1895 Holt Co, MO, buried Maple Grove Cemetery, Oregon, Holt Co, MO (no parents names given for either John Martin or Mary Catherine).
On the 1870 census, they went by their middle names, Martin and Catherine. (Also 6 of the
7 children that were listed as being born before and by 1870 appeared on the census,
so I did find the right Martin Meyer family.) The trees had John W Meyer's birth date as Apr 12, 1848 and death date as aft 1919-residence
in 1919 in Mound City, Holt Co, MO; which also matches the information I found for OUR John Meyer.
