this county, in 1855.  He is the sixth in the family of eleven children
of Dr. Louis D. and Maria S. (Muskat) Meineke, both natives of Germany,
and early settlers of Crawford County, MO.  Dr. Louis D. Meineke was a
student under the celebrated Prof. Morse, and was a graduated A. M. and
also an M. D.  He was a very successful physician in Gasconade and Craw-

of medicine under his father in 1876, and in 1881 graduated from the

turned his attention to the practice of medicine.  In 1880 he was marr-
ied to Jennie, daughter of Jackson and Clementine (Underwood) Martin.
Mr. and Mrs. Meineke are the parents of one child, Gracie.  Dr. Meineke
is permanently located at Oak Hill, where he is rapidly gaining a large
practice, enjoying the confidence of many patrons.  He is just complet-
ing one of the handsomest concrete residences in the village, and he
expects soon to open a drug store.  His political opinions are Republi-
can, and his first presidential vote was cast for James A. Garfield.
Dr. Meineke also belongs to the A. O. U. W., for which fraternity he is
