Author: H. W. Beckwith (1881)

   John Meitzler, saloon, Covington, was born in Germany, August 4, 1832. He
received a good business education, and served a regular apprenticeship at
learning the trade of a shoemaker while a resident of his native place. In 1854
he emigrated to the United States. He located in Attica, and remained there for
one year at work at his trade. Then he turned his attention to farming, and
followed this, in different localities, until 1869, in which year he began his
present calling. He owns the property in which he is doing business, which is a
fine two-story brick building, eighteen feet frontage by sixty feet in depth,
and built at a cost of $3,000. He is a member of the German Aid Society, and a
liberal-minded and enterprising citizen. In political questions he is
democratic. In 1857 he married Miss Nannie C. Landers, who is a native of
Kentucky. They have a family of four sons and one daughter: George W., Emma F.,
William S., John R. and Charles F.
