Joseph Souder was a son of Fred and Mary (Kesner) Souder, and the latter's father, Solomon Kesner, came to this country from Germany. Fred Souder and his wife came to this section from Tennessee in 1816 and located first where the town of Pekin now stands. The next year they entered land about a mile and a half north of their original location and made their permanent home there. Fred Souder died there on November 18, 1844[sic], and his widow afterwards went to Illinois, where she closed her life.
