John Meier was born in Profits Town, Ill., on September 1, 1879, and passed away from this life at his home on a farm in Reading Township three miles south of Ireton Monday, March 27, 1933. Deceased received his early education at Profits Town, Ill., and when reaching the age of young womanhood followed the vocation of farming. He came as a young man to South Dakota with the idea of locating there and on March 8, 1905, he was united in marriage with Miss Reka Dirks at Tea, S.D. The young couple resided on a farm near Tea for a short time and moved to Ireton, 25 years ago and operated various farms in Sioux and Plymouth counties south of Ireton. Mrs. Meier died a year ago in July and following her passing Mr. Meier farmed with the children and they will greatly miss his kindly devotion and affection. His many friends and neighbors will miss one who was always ready to extend a helping hand. Deep sympathy is extended to the sorrowing ones, in the loss of father, brother and friend. Mrs. R.G.
