The eldest of five of Theodore and Minnie Marie Helena Winter Meyer, he married Gladys Leenerman on Aug. 23, 1940 in Palmyra, MO.
He worked at Elwood Ordnance Plant near Wilmington, IL and was killed in an ammunition explosion accident in the midst of W. W. II. His obituary from the Bloomington Pantagraph indicates a service was held near the site of the plant and that another memorial would be held the following Sunday at St. John's Lutheran church in Sibley, IL.
When remains were found, his body was to be buried in Oak Ridge military cemetery in honor of his loss of life on the home front in service to the war effort.
Apparently, the body was never found. In 2005 Oak Ridge has no record of him. A memorial stone was later placed in Mt. Hope Cemetery at Sibley, IL.
