Willaim Mayer, grandson of St Benedict pioneers, was born in a farm home
in the NW corner of Sec 18, Paririe Twp., Kossuth, County, IA.
He received his education in St Benedict Parochial School and spent his life
farming. He and his wife, Esther (Wolf) Mayer, lived in a new house built
for them in Sec 13, Irivington Twp where their 4 children were born and
raised. Bill and his son had a herd of Brown Swiss cattle and he practiced
the diversified farming done at that time.
In 1952 he became ill with tuberculosis and spent a year in the Sanatorium
at Oakdale, IA. His health improved when a lung was removed, and he
returned home in 1953. In 1952, Bill and Esther moved to a new smaller home
in the Sw corner of Sec 18, Irivington Twp. He was a good Catholic and
attended daily Mass in the last years of his life. He enjoyed playing cards
and making hooked rugs in his retirement.
