REV. JOHN W. GEIGER.


Rev. John W. Geiger for a number of years was probably the best pulpit orator of Harlan, where he filled the pulpit of the Congregational church. Since leaving Harlan he has become very prominent in the Woodmen of the World, and in 1912 was elected head consul for the state of Iowa. He has lectured widely.
