Note*In 1880, Johann Henry Meurer was farming in St. Libory, Nebraska. In 1881, he moved to Bastrop, Texas. In 1891, he moved to Muenster, Cooke, Texas. During these years he continued to farm. In 1900 Johann was hired as a land agent by Henry J Scott who had purchased 60,000 acres of the Circle Ranch in Archer County, Texas, including the village of Windthorst, for development. Johann promoted the area to attract settlers. He and his family moved to Windthorst in 1904 and lived in the hotel there for several years. In 1907 Johann founded the town of Scotland in Archer County and relocated there to act as mr. Scott's agent. He advertised the land in Catholic newspapers. In July 1908, he auctioned off two sections of land by the lank which had been divided into lots. The event was celebrated with a picnic and a square dance. By 1910, the town had grown enough to justify the building of a Catholic church. The church was named St. Boniface. The settlers, mostly German Catholic, engaged in farming, dairying, and poultry raising. By 1920 Johann had retired.
