Relatives in the vicinity of Salisbury were shocked to learn of his death because of his youth and the fact that they knew nothing of any illness. Mr. Meese was born in Garrett County, Maryland, a son of the late Daniel D. Meese and of Mrs. Mary E. (Wetmiller) Meese. He spent his life until his late teens in this vicinity. He went into the trucking business after he and two of his brothers moved to New York state, and about three years ago, bought a mill and was doing very well. He is survived by his wife, Mrs. Jennie (Keeler) Meese; a son, Lawrence, seven years; a daughter, Bonnie, four years; his mother, Mrs. Mary E. Meese, Frostburg, Md.; four brothers, George D. and Reid of Salisbury RD 1, LeRoy and Woodrow of Cohocton, N.Y.; four sisters, Mrs. Eva Landis, Salisbury RD 1; Mrs. Ada Deist, Jenners; Mrs. June Kemp, Gray; and Mrs. Alda Layman, Frostburg. Funeral services were held on Wednesday morning, with burial in Avoca. Meyersdale Republican, January 6, 1949
