Born Dietrich Friedrich Gottlieb Meier he was adopted or fostered byWilliam Schluter and brought to America about 1868. He remembered coming up theMississippi River and stopping at St. Louis. He passed the time by watching menmeasure the water depth with a knotted rope. Gottlieb's mother was widowed,another son, Frank, had been kicked by a horse and was ill. She also had thecare of her grandson John Henry Meier (whose mother had died) and so allowedthe Schluter family to bring her son to America. Later he took back the surnameof Meier. Arnold Raymond Meier and Martha Meier Bond said in an interview 6October 1977 that their father Gottlieb farmed and had 40 acres of timber landnear Good Harbor, Michigan (Leelanau County). His farm was on the northernslope of Sugar Loaf Mountain. The timber land was logged and many logging campswere in the area. Before Gottlieb's marriage he left Michigan and came toChicago. He married near there and lived there for a time, coming to Herscherand Milks Grove area about 1892. By 1903 the family had returned to Michiganfor a time. Here the infant Carl was stillborn and is buried in Shetland CreekLutheran Cemetery. Martha walked two miles to school at Shetland Creek, nearGood Harbor. The family had returned to Herscher by 1907. For a time theyfarmed the Berger farm west of Clifton in Milks Grove Township. Martha was bornat this farm and Hanne Margarethe Louise Holtkamp Meier died there. Gottliebwas later a gardener for Len Small at Kankakee, Illinois. Daughter Martha waschristened 18 May 1892 at Zion Lutheran Church, Bonfield, Illinois; Arnold waschristened there 25 August 1907. Martha, Rudolph and Maria were confirmed inthe same church at Bonfield and Anna was married there to Friedrich Wesemann.
Gottliebwas present for an organizational meeting of Trinity Evangelical LutheranChurch at Herscher, Illinois 9 April 1909 according to Pilot Township History.We Remember - Herscher 100 Years (Herscher Centennail Book) records, "TheHerscher Pilot dated April 28, 1921 announces the hiring of Gottlieb Meier asnight watchman. Mr. Meier took his job very seriously. He is remembered asstanding on the corner with a stop watch checking speeders. They would be confrontedthe next time he saw them. He made his rounds with his dog, Jake. A fewHerscherites recall throwing firecrackers at the pair. The job as constable wasnot desired by everyone as the hours were long and lonely and the paysmall."
