         The following biographical sketch appeared in Young's History of Lafayette County, Missouri (1910):

         Frederick G. Meinershagen

         Many of the most fertile farms in our country occupy land which was by the first settlers considered unfit for farming, because it was wet or swampy, but which has by draining or tiling had the surplus water removed and is now more fertile than any other land, on account of the great amount of decayed vegetable matter accumulating in such places and because the low lands naturally receive the wash from above and thus have deeper soil. There is also much land which was not too wet to be farmed without drainage, but which holds a surplusage of water over the needs of crops, which can be so much improved by tiling as to in some cases double the yield. The intelligent farmer who owns such land promptly proceeds to tile it and soon finds the expense of tiling met by increased yields and greater ease in cultivation. Mr. Meinershagen owes much of his success to the thoroughness with which he understands the methods of tiling and to the application of his knowledge.
         Frederick G. Meinershagen was born in Warren county, Missouri, November 22, 1846, the son of William and Minnie (Brinkmann) Meinershagen, both natives of Prussia. His mother was five years old when she came to Missouri, and was married to his father in St. Charles county, who then moved to a timber farm on the Missouri bottoms in Warren county. In 1882 Frederick Meinershagen came to Lafayette county to operate a farm of two hundred and thirty-five acres, three miles southwest of Higginsville, for which he paid fifty dollars per acre. This was the old Henry Higgins homestead. He has rebuilt all the farm buildings and has improved the farm until now it is without question one of the best in the county. While living on it he has laid over ten thousand tile. He carries on mostly grain farming, and also owns a farm in Oklahoma. The home farm in underlaid with coal.
         In 1870 Mr. Meinershagen was married to Minnie Hackman, in Warren county, of which she was a native. Mr. Meinershagen is a Republican. He has always given his attention closely to his farm and is a quiet, hardworking man, naturally of great force of character, which has given to him considerable influence in neighborhood affairs. In farming no man in the community has been more successful than he. He is the father of Dr. Ben Meinershagen, who is mentioned elsewhere in this work.
