**********************************************************************

Adolph Kaiser, farmer of Section 20, St. John's Township, was born in
Germnay, in 1833, and is the son of Frederick and Johannah (Heymann)
Kaiser.  The father was born in 1799, and was a farmer by occupation.
In 1850 he emigrated to the United States, and came directly to Frank-
lin County, Mo., but not being satisfied with the country he returned
to the land of his birth, where he died in 1871.  His wife died in
1841.  Mr. Kaiser was twice married, and was the father of twenty
children, eight by the first wife and twelve by the second.  Our sub-
ject was the fourth child by the first marriage.  He remained on the
farm until 1850, when he crossed the ocean with his father to find a
home in the United States.  In 1856 he married Miss Louisa Detwieler,
a native of Switzerland, born in 1840.  She came with her parents to
America when but four years of age.  Mr. Kaiser's married life was
blessed by the birth of nine children: Adolph, Katie, Julius, Sophia,
Max, Louise, Herman, Felix and Cora.  In 1856 he purchased twenty-
five acres in Warren County, and in 1859 sold it, and purchased ninety
one acres in Section 17, St. John's Township, the farm now being owned
by W. H. Meyer.  Mr. Kaiser was the owner of this farm until 1867,
when he sold out and purchased where he now resides.  He now owns 130
acres, and has the place well improved.  He is a Republican in poli-
tics, and a highly respected citizen.
