Celebrating 140 Years: The Legacy of the Meister Family in Ft. Smith
The article discusses a Meister family that moved to Ft. Smith, Arkansas. This family is not related to the previously mentioned Meister family who started a plumbing business in the same city. The central figure is Herman Meister, born on June 6, 1857, in Goßnitz, Germany. Herman and his parents came to America in 1880 on separate ships. His father first lived in Perryville, then moved to Leavenworth, Kansas, where he passed away. Herman appears to have resided in or near Shawnee Township in northern Cape Girardeau County.
