On the 3d of October, 1875, Mr. Meisky was united in mariage to MARY C. KILE, who was born in Muscatine county, December 4, 1858, and is the daughter of JERRY and EIIZABETH ( LEE ) Kile.

Her father was born in Lancaster county, Pennsylvania, and her mother in Ohio. They were married in Indiana and a few years later came to Iowa, making their home for four years on a farm in Muscatine county.

Subsequently the family removed upon a place in Pike township, which had been purchased by Mr. Kile and there continued for many years until it was finally disposed of. The father then rented land until his death, which occurred in 1888.
Mrs. Kile was called from earthly scenes October 3, 1899, and was buried beside her husband in Nichols cemetery.

There were nine children in their family, the eldest dying in infancy; Madison, who died in 1889, at the age of about thirty years; Mary C., now Mrs. Meisky; George, of Muscatine county, Iowa; Sadie, the wife of Adolf Kiser, of Minnesota; Lydia, who died in 1890, at the age of twenty-three years; Linnie, now Mrs. Charles Birkart, of West Liberty, Iowa; Callie, the wife of Henry Range, of Milford, Iowa; and Louis, of Nichols, Iowa.

Three children have been born to Mr. and Mrs. Meisky: Hattie L., who was born August 4, 1876, and died June 16, 1897; Oliver C., who was born April 8, 1878, and is now living near Nichols; and Louis J., who was born May 12, 1880, and is now the owner of a fine home in Nichols.
