FRANK KUSSART.

Frank Kussart is the popular postmaster of Eddyville, having entered upon his
duties in August, 1913. He is a conscientious official, thoroughly efficient,
courteous and obliging, and has made many friends since entering office. He was
born on the border between Monroe and Mahaska counties on December 26, 1873, and
is a son of Jacob and Sarah A. (Phillips) Kussart, natives of Pennsylvania,
where the father was born in 1843 and where they were married. The former
followed farming throughout his active life and since his retirement in 1900 has
lived in Eddyville. In their family are eight living children: Jeanette, the
wife of G. A. De Tar; Charles, of Eddyville; Jacob, of Colorado; E. G., of
California; Frank, our subject; Lucy, who married S. A. Shawver of Eddyville;
Edward, of California; and Eva Mary, the wife of Fred Grimes of Cedar Rapids,
this state.

Frank Kussart acquired his education in the common schools and the Eddyville
high school, from which he graduated with the class of 1894. He then entered the
Medical College of Kansas City, which he attended for two years, but left at the
end cf that time in order to take up the active duties of life. He engaged in
the restaurant business in Eddyville, in which he successfully continued until
1912. He proved himself an able business man and in August of 1913 was appointed
postmaster of Eddyville under the Wilson administration. While he is a man of
executive ability he has a great capacity for detail and has his office well
systematized. He is always courteous and obliging to his patrons, and those who
have transactions with the postoffice speak of him in the highest terms of
commendation.

On August 18, 1898, Mr. Kussart married Miss Amanda Savilla Meeker, a daughter
of W. T. and Sarah (Davis) Meeker, both deceased. Mr. and Mrs. Kussart have two
children: Leroy Mason, a student in the high school; and Anna Madge, who is also
in the high school. Mr. Kussart is a democrat and has always given his support
to that party, being thoroughly in sympathy with its principles, its ideals, its
aims and its purposes. He attends the Methodist Episcopal church and fraternally
is a member of the blue lodge of Masons, the Eastern Star, the Modern Woodmen of
America, and Homestead Lodge, No. 98, of the Brotherhood of American Yeoman. He
is a useful and public-spirited citizen who not only thinks of his own progress
but is considerate of the interests of others and is always ready to contribute
his share to such efforts as are made in order to promote the welfare of the
community.
