AUGUST 27. 1962 TEN CENTS PER COPY ( Cass Countyans of the Week Meisingers Have Lived in Cass County nv kith miller Nehawka Special Correspondent It was in the 1840's and 1850's that the five Meisinger brothers and two sisters made their way to America, making over 100 years In this country, and, for most of the family, around 95 years in Cass County. Conrad Meisinger was a boy of nearly seven when his father left their home in Bollstein, Iles-sen-Darmstadt, Germany in 1840. George Meisinger arrived in America with "50 dollars and five boys." Like many of the early Ger man families he settled first in Tazewell County, 111., and luck was with him. He plan'ed 40 acres of wheat and, with prices at $1.00 a bushel, gleaned 900 busheli that year. This enabled him to buy a sec tion of land at Eight Mile Grove in 1871 but it was another four years before he brought his family to this community. Here, too, his son Conrad raised his family, of whom five are living, including Mrs. Anna Meisinger who lives with her son on a farm east of Murray. Mrs. Meisinger recalls start ing to school at the Becker School.

The children were at the school when suddenly the bliz zerd of '88 slapped against the frail walls. Mrs. Melslnger's oldest broth er came for the children but their chances of finding the way home were very slim. Giving the horses rein, the children huddled together and le the horses pick ihe way through the last piling snow. "They knew the way home or we'd never have gotten here," says Mrs. Meisinger. But i was instinct alone that guided those animals for when they arrived home they found that not only the oldest boys eyes were frozen shut, bu; the horses' also!
