MRS. MARY S. MEISSNER DIES

Resident of Ogden Since 1889 Succumbs to Paralysis

Mrs. Mary Meissner, aged 59, wife of Fred Meissner, died Saturday at 7:45 p.m. at the apartments, 2453 1/2 Grant Avenue, after an illness extending over five years. She suffered a paralytic stroke in August, 1919. Her illness was thought to be the direct result of her sorrow for the death of her daughter, Ellen, a pianist and pipe organist, who died on July 28, 1918.

Mrs. Meissner was born on April 8, 1866, in Minoke, Illinois. She went when a little girl to live near Hastings, Nebraska, where her father was one of the pioneers and known as "Father Stimbert." She married Mr. Meissner in 1888 at Ord, Nebraska, and came to Utah in 1889. She was the mother of three children, Ellen Meissner, George M. Meissner, a railway mail clerk and Harmon S. Meissner, civil engineer with the Southern Pacific. With the exception of five years in Logan and a year and a half in Germany, where the children were educated, Mrs. Meissner had lived in Ogden since 1889. The body is at the Kirkendall parlors. She was a member of Queen Esther Chapter No. 4 Order of the Eastern Star.

I don't have much. Anna F born 1881 and Franz born 1883 (siblings) emmigrated from Germany to Davenport, Iowa in 1899. Their parents were Bernard Meichsner and Johanna Gottschlick. That's all I have and I've really been working on this. Franz's family is still in the Iowa area and one of them is on the ancestry site. Stay in touch.

Hello: My grandfathers name was Deir. My understanding is at some point my grandfather did reside in Morris New Jersy and was enlisted in the military in Newark.My grandparents moved to California and resided here till their death. My grand mother Estella Deir recently died in 2006. There are not alot of Deir's out there so it is possible that yo may have some connection to my family. My name is Suzette Jones and my mothers madein nae was Deir. Hope this finds you well. Could you let me know of any other info. you may have my family history is very shrouded and I don't know why so much was hidden that I have so very little to share with my only child. Thank you and best wishes.

Hello!

My name is Lisa Meissner and I have been researching my family over the past several years but have a hit a roadblock. We can trace our Donauschwaben roots from Johannesfeld in modern day Romania, but have hit a snag in tracing them back into Germany. Would you be able to share your information on your Meichsner family? It would be immensely appreciated. Thank you for your time!

Take care,

Meissner from Bavaria

hmpollard — 2009-08-03 02:57:11Z

My ancestor, Joseph Meissner, immigrated to the US from Unterspiesheim, Bavaria in 1882. He had at least 5 half-siblings that I know of. His parents were Carl and Gertraud Hartmann. Carl's first wife was Barbara Scherpf. I've found civil registration documents for the family and searched the IGI thoroughly, but have been able to find little else.
If you think you may have a connection, please contact me.

Ottilie (Meissner) Birkelbach - Prussia / Texas

Ronald_Birkelbach — 2008-07-05 02:37:42Z

I am seeking further information about my ggrandmother, Ottilie (nee Meissner) Birkelbach. She was born May 13, 1861 in Prussia, emigrated to the US in 1872, married Heinrich Birkelbach on September 11, 1879, and lived most of her life in Fayette County, Texas. She had ten children and died in Bexar County in 1918.

I know nothing about her parents or siblings. Frederick & Ernestine Meissner (children Emil and Ida) also emigrated from Germany to Texas in 1872, and I am speculating that she may be related. There is a Theodora Meissner (probably the wife of Emil) who was a witness to her youngest daughter's baptism.

If you have any information about Ottilie's parents, siblings or life, I would greatly appreciate it!

Hello:

I am looking for parents and siblings of a Johann Gottlieb Meissner who was born in Coethen Germany in 1792.

Just thought the Gottlieb & Meissner might indicate a connection or maybe give you a lead as to the area of Germany your Gottlieb may have come from.

Take care,

Re: Samuel Meissner

This is a response to inquiry about Samuel Meissner who was married to Pauline Hohertz. Samuel Meissner and Pauline Hohertz Meissner were my great grandparents, the paternal grandparents of my mother, Alwine Sophie Meissner Hohertz. According to Meissner genealogy researched by a Meissner cousin Samuel was born October 3, 1844 in Germany and died December 29, 1931. Pauline Hohertz was born October 12, 1853 and died December 31, 1917. Both are buried in the St Paul's Lutheran church cemetery, Aleman, Texas.

All other information I have is for the descendants of the second born son, my grandfather, Adolph Meissner.

Re: John or Julius Meissner

Larry_Meissner — 2007-03-13 05:31:34Z

Yes, we are talking about the same family. All the dates and name match except the correct spelling for my grandmother's name is Cardella, not Cardelia. My wife and daughter and I live in Southern California. I have a book someone prepared many years ago that deals with the Kurzhal, Schulze, and Meissner families. It has about 100 pages of information was compiled by Charles Emil Kurzhal and 'finally printed' it says in 1995. Is that name familiar to you? I would love to see the wedding picture you mentioned. You can contact me directly at lmeissner@aol.com.

Re: John or Julius Meissner

konopko_k — 2007-03-13 04:13:32Z

I have Julius's wedding photo and a few others. I do have alot of dates. I also have an account of when the Schulzes came to America. I am very positive we are talking about the same family. The dates I have for your grandfather Herman: Born:1-3-1899 in Perry, OK Died: 9-3-1973 Pawnee, OK. Married: Cardelia Pittser 3-26-1926 had 6 children.Is that right? I seem to have alot more info on the Schulze family. Are you from the OK area? My grandmother and grandfather moved to Indiana around 1930.

Re: John or Julius Meissner

Larry_Meissner — 2007-03-11 14:37:47Z

I also have pictures of the Schulze family homestead site near Mulhall, OK where Augusta Maria probably grew up. I look forward to hearing from you.

Re: John or Julius Meissner

Larry_Meissner — 2007-03-11 14:33:17Z

With about 90% certainty, I would say we are 2nd cousins. It appears my grandfather, Herman August, was your grandmother's older brother. My records seem in indicate that John was Julius' father, but I have no further information on John. I have dates for Julius, his obit & pictures of his grave, but little else.

My Grandfather was Richard Ferdinand Meissner born in Marl Germany Aug. 1900. He was the eldest son of August and Lina Wolfe Meissner. I had found a August Ferdinand Richard Meissner born in Gross Christinenberg, Pommern, Prussia. According to family lore the Meissners came from a large family, who had 15 sons and one daughter who lived on a big farm in East Prussia (now Poland) by the Vistula River. This August Meissner I found is the son of Wilhelm and Wilhemine Meissner. Looking for more information to see if these are our relatives
