J. W. Meyer, livery stable, P. O. Concordia.  Born in Lafayette county,
September 8, 1855.  His early life was spent on a farm, and his education
obtained in the public schools.  At the close of his school life, he was
engaged in farm work until the year 1877, at which time, he, in partner-
ship with C. J. Frerking, opened a livery stable in Concordia.  In 1880 
Mr. J. H. Powell purchased the interest of Mr. Frerking, the firm being
