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.
