Knox County TN Metlers
I THINK I have accounted for all of the Metlers born in the 1800's who lived in or around Knoxvville TN except for a John Metler who does not appear to connect to my family.
My great grandmother's brother was Jacob b. abt1863. He married Lillie. Don't have any info on him yet.
A few loose ends are Emily Flo Metler who could have been born in the1920's in Knoxville. Her parents were Jacob Charlton Metler and Flora Adele Berney, and she accompanied her mother and signd the guest book as atttending the viewing and/or attending my grandfather's - Robert Wallace- funeral in 1938 In Knoxville. Emily Flo was the granddaughter of Fritz Charles Metler and Martha "Mattie" Wallace.
Mildred Metler, daughter of Fritz Charles Metler and Mary Tobler - Fritz's 2nd wife - was born on July 4 year unknown in Knoxville. Her brother Fritz C. jr. was born 08 May 1911. According to the SS Death index he died in 1992.
One son of Alois Metler, William b. 21 Mar. 1882, moved to Oregon.I have very little on the William and nothing on his descendants if any. I believe he married a woman named Melba last name unknown.
Anyone with knowledge of the above folks, anyone researching Knoxville Metlers, or anyone with anything to add please contact me at [email protected] or at this forum. I have a lot more info on the children of Anton, Alois, Fritz J., and Maria Rosa Metler Steinerwho came to this country, and I am corresponding with a few of our cousins who have helped me accumulate the info.
