Obituary (St. Louis Post Dispatch), St. Louis County Libray, 1640 South Lindbergh, St. Louis, Mo. 63131.

"MEYERS-Entered into rest on Sunday, Sept. 24, 1916, at 8:30 am. Mrs. Mary MEYERS* (nee GEBHARDT) beloved mother** of Cornellius BLADE, and our dear grandmother. Funeral Wednesday morning, Sept. 27, from 2704 North Tenth Street, to Lutheran Cemetery."

Matilda MEYER/MEYERS, daughter of Mary GEBHARDT-MEYERS* was wife of Cornelius BLADE.

Mary GEBHART-MEYERS was actually mother-in-law.*

(Family claim MEYER name orginally MEYERPETER)

I am unsure if Mary Gebhardt-Meyers was catholic or Lutheran. Emma MEYER-MILLER (my GGM) was married in the catholic church. Maltilda MEYER-BLADE was her sister.

Cornelius BLADE
