Descendants of Andrew Kier

Generation No. 3

3. ROBERT M.³ KIER (DAVID², ANDREW¹) was born October 07, 1803 in Conemaugh Twp, Indiana, Pennsylvania, and died October 11, 1875 in Gentry, Missouri. He married LAVINA SALES Abt. 1874 in Gentry County, Missouri. She was born July 27, 1827 in Indiana, and died November 25, 1920.

Notes for ROBERT M. KIER:
Apparently the Kiers, living in Holmes Co., Ohio only ten years - 1831-1841 - bought no land as no records of deeds were found, did not prosper too much. After reading "History of Holmes County, by Fred Almendinger", who wrote his History in 1938 as a Master's Thesis. Also I think our Robert Kier was not a farmer but according to family stories was a tailor.

Notes for FLOYD TAYLOR KIER:
Note--Mrs. Alta Opal Coburn of Albany, Mo., descendant of Lavina Sales Neal Kier has in her possession a Tailors Iron, that belonged to Robert Kier (3), who was, according to legend, a Tailor. Mrs. Berneice Kier Cooley of Lafayette, Ore., says the story of Robert being a Tailor has come down through the Family to her.

From Gentry and Davies County History Page 790--They lived at Brownlee, NE and late at Seneca, NE

Note--From Mrs. Joe Devine and Mrs Haffner both of Seneca, Nebr. Mrs. Floyd Kier used to take in washings as the family was "hardup". She has washed for the Banker's wife, Mrs. Haffner. Floyd was sickly and not always employed. He used to catch and sell catfish. Dick one of the sons, was the most energetic of the family and almost the "Mainstay" of the family according to Mrs. Haffner. Maybelle was a hard worker and was always doing something for some one. Everybody loved her.--In Dec 1927, Richard Kier (5), bought Lots 14 and 15 Block 3 in Seneca, Nebr. which he sold in Oct. 1935 to Gertrude McLaughlin.
