I am not sure how long it has been in existence, but at least the last 50 years that I remember. Other papers in the area are the Eau Claire Leader Telegram. A lot of people in the area get that also. There are a couple of funeral homes in Durand that might be of assistance on any cemetery inquires - they would be either Rhiel or Goodrich funeral homes. You should be able to find references to these at www.qwestdex.com. The undertaker you mentioned does not sound familiar. They might have been from Minneapolis. There are still Meixners in the area, as it is a name that I have heard before. If you check surrounding towns like Arkansaw, Pepin or Nelson; you may find relatives.
