HOFER, MAYER, SCHNEIDER posted by Donna Mayer-Polk on Wednesday, February 20, 2002

I would like to find out what happened to the records of the Lutheran Church in Cedar Bluffs. Jacob Mayer's obituary stated he was a member there until 1913 when the church was sold. When he moved to NE from WI he joined the congregation by letter. I am hoping to find more on the family through the records and possibly photographs. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Jacob's daughter Elizabeth was married to Louis Schneider.
