Boyle Co. SQUIRE JOHN JAMESON YEISER was born October 3, 1837, one mile north of Danville, and has always been a resident of Boyle County. His father, Dr. Daniel Yeiser, a native of Baltimore, Md., was born in March, 1789, and removed in childhood with his parents to Danville, where he was reared. He graduated as a physician at the Philadelphia Medical College, and settled in 1809 in Alexandria, La., where he practiced his profession with great success for thirteen years, and then returned to the neighborhood of Danville, where he engaged in practice and farming until his death in 1878. He was one of the chief projectors of the Lexington & Danville Turnpike; was a copartner in practice with Dr. Ephraim McDowell, and was long a Royal Arch Mason. By the late war he lost fifty-two slaves. He was the son of Phillip E. Yeiser, a native of Wittenburg, Germany, who died of cholera at Danville in 1833. Dr. Daniel Yeiser married Miss Catherine Faunt Le Roy Samuels, of Orange County, Va. (born in May, 1802, died in 1874), and from their union sprang George (deceased), Sarah J. (Borden), Catherine (Adams), Henry, Sr., Rosa M. (deceased), John J., Samuel (died from cold contracted while a prisoner of war at Camp Douglas), Fountain M., Affie G. (Jackson), Mary D. (Walworth) and Benjamin B. Our subject married Miss Ann Maria, daughter of Abram L. and Ann M. (McDowell) Caldwell, of Boyle County (born September 21, 1839), and from this union there has been no issue, but they have raised an orphan child, now Mrs. Sallie (Graham) Spears. January 1, 1886, Mr. Yeiser was by Gov. Knott appointed magistrate and member of the court of claims of Boyle County, which position he now retains. He is a farmer, having 176 acres of land in a fine state of cultivation, generally inclosed with substantial stone fences, and otherwise improved to correspond. On the place is a natural spring cave, in which the temperature scarcely varies during the year but it is not certainly known by whom this place was first improved, nor when or by whom the stone dwelling was constructed. Squire Yeiser has been Eminent Commander of the Ryan Commandery, No. 17, of Danville; is a stanch Presbyterian, and in politics a Democrat.
