Miessner, Kenneth Melvin (22 MAY 1945 - 28 MAR 2015)

Kenneth Melvin Miessner age 69 was born in Wausau on May 22, 1945 to Wilfred and Margaret Miessner. He attended Strupp School in the Town of Wien for eight years and graduated from Edgar High School in 1963. After graduation he went into farming with his father. He later worked at the American Box Company in Wausau.
