Mrs. Fred Meiske, 64, Passes On In New York

Word was received here last week of the passing on of Mrs. Fred W. Meiske, a former Postville resident, last Thursday morning at her home in Dodds Ferry, New York. Mr. and Mrs. Meiske had spent the winter in Orlando, Florida, and only recently returned to their home. She was 64 years old.

Funeral services were held in Dubuque Sunday afternoon and interment was in Linwood cemetery in that city.

Mrs. Meiske was born at Postville September 8, 1883, and attended the local schools. She was married to Fred Meiske here and Postville remained their home until they moved to Hartley and later to Dodds Ferry. The Meiskes operated the Commericial Hotel for a number of years and Mr. Meiske was also engaged in the produce business here and at Hartley.

Surviving her are her husband, one son, Cloy, of Hastings-on-the-Hudson, N. Y., a granddaughter, Barbara Meiske, one brother, Otto Rasmusen, of Orlando, Florida, and one sister, Bessie Stoltz, of Dubuque. Her parents and one brother, Louis N. Rasmusen, preceded her in death.

She was a member of Postville Chapter, No. 238, Order of the Eastern Star.
