  Meaker, Jared Nelson, was born on November 21, 1869, in Brackney, 
Susquehanna County, Pa. Until nineteen years of age he spent his life 
on a farm, receiving from seven to twelve weeks' schooling in a year at 
the district school. He studied one year in the Binghamton High School, 
four years in the Cortland Normal School, graduating in 1896. During 
his course in the Normal School he taught school some. In the fall of 
1896 he matriculated in Syracuse University, where he studied until the

  During his last year in Normal School he supplied the church at 
Groton City, N.Y., and while in Syracuse he supplied East Hill, N.Y. In 
1898 he supplied Thornhurst, and joined the Conference in 1899, and 
remained at Thornhurst until 1901, when he was sent to Clifford.
  He was at Clifford two years, and in 1903 went to Lake Como.
