| Kaier Street | It was named after my Anton Kaier (great grandfather of historydetroit.com visitor, Anita Hiltz). Anton was a land owner at the time and lived on Kaier Street along with his three daughters: Victoria (aka Dora), Flora and Clara. Anton also owned a floral shop on the corner of Fort Street and Kaier Street> The shop provided flowers for Woodmere Cemetery. The Melvindale History section of the cemetery's website reads:
''Anton Kaier owned all the land now known as the Kaier Sub. It was surrounded by Schaefer Road, the Wabash Railroad and Dix Toledo Road. The Kaier Elementary School (now torn down) stood in this location. Two of the streets in the Kaier Sub were named after two sisters, Dora and Flora, who were large land owners of the early twenties.''
