   SLEASMAN MEEKER, landlord of the City Hotel, is a native of Warren County,
Ohio; he was born June 7, 1833, and is the son of Obadiah Meeker; he was reared
in Henry County, Ind., and at the age of fourteen learned the harness-maker's
trade, in which he continued about fifteen years. July 5, 1861, he enlisted in
Company A, Nineteenth Regiment Indiana Volunteer Infantry, and served one year.
He was in battle at Lewinsville, Va., and later was discharged on account of
physical disability. When he returned from the war, he engaged in carriage
trimming in Cadiz, Henry Co., Ind., where he remained until 1875. He then moved
to Middletown, Henry County, and in 1882 came to Tipton County and continued
working at his trade. In the spring of 1883, he took possession of the City
Hotel, where he is doing a good business; he was married September 19, 1863, in
Henry County, Ind., to Miss Nancy E. Huston. This union has been crowned with
five children-Hattie, Willie E., Russel S., Zelma, and Arthur W., deceased. Mr.
Meeker is a member of the Republican party, and he and wife are identified with
the Methodist Episcopal Church.
