Hello,
If we are talking about the same John MAERTZ there is a very good article about John written in 1992 by Jim Faber.Was in the Chaska Herald, Minnesota.
If you will send me your email I will scan it and email it to you.
As for dates this John was born 15 March 1814 in Darmstadt, Herzogten, Grand Duchy of Hessen, Germany.At age 86 John died at the hme of his son (name unknown) at Glenwood, Wisconsin.Date was 22 Jan 1900.
Just let me say that John and my Great-grandfather (F. A. Renz) were, if not close friends were acquantiances and in similiar busisnesses in St Paul, MN.,and partners in the establishmet of a town in the Minnesota River Vally called Yorkville.It failed.
At present I am putting together the story of F. A. Renz and that is the reaseon I look for any information concerning anyone he knew.I will be happy to help you in any way I can.
Nancy
