According to Stearns County, Minnesota death records, Johann Meisen died 8 Jan 1872 in Oak Township, Stearns County, MN. The death certificate lists his age as 44 years, 6 months, and 4 days which would make his birth date 4 July 1827. Johann's death certificate says he died of "Rumatiss" which could possibly be modern day Rheumatism. Death certificate lists parents names as John and Anna.

Note that Johann's gravestone says "gest" in German which means deceased on 9 January 1872. Church records from Immaculate Conception Catholic Church also state that Johann Meisen died 9 January 1872. In the Minnesota, Wills, and Probate Records for John Meisen, it states that Johann Meisen died 9 January 1872.

Death date is shown as 9 Jan 1872, since three records (church, gravestone, & will) state death date as 9 Jan 1872 versus the 8 Jan 1872 (death certificate). Birth date shown as 5 Jul 1827 instead of 4 Jul 1827, since death date on death certificate is off by one day.

There is an extract from "The History of Immaculate Conception Parish - New Munich, Minnesota - 1861-1936", that lists John Meisen among the group of early German settlers in the New Munich, Minnesota area.
