Crawfordsville Review 7 Oct 1899 p 8
In 1850 Charles Maier fled from Germany on
account of having been engaged in a rebellion against the government of the
Kaiser. He came to America and fought through the Civil War in a NY regiment,
later he came to Indiana and located on a small farm in this county where he
resided for the last 30 years. Old and decrepit, he became an inmate of the soldier’s
home at Danville, Ill. Monday afternoon there arrived in this city in search of
their father Robert Maier and Mrs. Mary Kempler of Rochester, NY. These are the
children he left behind in Germany when he fled from the wrath of the King. The
discovery that the children were living was made by a real estate firm of this
city. They went to Danville Monday evening to meet the father they had not seen
in 46 years.
