I believe that I am a decendent of Stephen Ball Meeker and Catherine Reeve. If I am
correct, Stephen would be my gggg grand father. My great grand father was Amos Meeker,b.
February 08, 1884, , , Nebraska, USA; d. November 23, 1918, Chicago, Cook, Illinois, USA.
According to Amos's death certificate, his father's name was Joshua. (although my
now deceased grandmother told me his name was August) Joshua's place of birth is
listed as Indiana. I am trying to confirm that this Joshua is the son of Mathias. I am
also attempting to vefiry the names of Amos' mother and siblings. Family records
indicate that there were at least 5 children born to Joshua - LYLE & LYLA (possibly
twins) AMOS, OTTO, EDNA, and perhaps CLAUDE(?). If anyone can help me solve this, I would
greatly appreicate it.
