FRANK MIESELER.
A native of Carver county and ever actively devoted to its welfare and advancement, Frank Mieselor of Dahlgren township, has made his citizenship useful, his record giving him a high place in the esteem and good will of the general public.
Mr. Mieseler was born in the town of Chaska November 6, 1861, and is a son of Frank and Katharine (Wagner) Mieseler, the former born near Cologne, Prussia, and the latter in Pennsylvania. Coming to Carver county in early life they were married here. Their first home was in Chaska, where the father worked several years at his trade of blacksmith. He then bought a tract of land in the northwestern part of Dahlgren township, which he sold after farming and improving it for five or six years. He then purchased a farm near Chaska on which he passed the remainder of life, dying December 26, 1907. The mother's death occurred July 13, 1909. Five of their children grew to maturity, and of these Frank was the oldest.
Frank Mieseler was reared and educated in Carver county, where his life has been passed as a successful farmer. He has taken an active part in the public affairs of Dahlgren township, having served as township clerk and for ten years was school treasurer. He was one of the promoters of the Carver County Creamery company at Augusta, of which he has been president, and which he has served as secretary and manager during the last fourteen years. The creamery was purchased in 1898 from the Poppitz company, and under a progressive and vigorous management has been conducted successfully ever since.
Mr. Mieseler owns two farms amounting to 256 acres of good land in Dahlgren and Chaska townships, which he has brought to a high state of cultivation and productiveness and, improved with good buildings. He was married in Carver, Minnesota, in May, 1887, to Miss Crescentia Gestach, who was born in Dahlgren township December 16, 1863, and is a daughter of John and Afra (Schneider) Gestach. Mr. and Mrs. Mieseler have four children, Frank J., John A., George H. and Edmund J. All are members of Guardian Angel Catholic church at Chaska.
