John George Geisel. The best interests of the township of Rochester, County of Essex, are ably represented in the person of John George Geisel, born on the farm upon which he now resides, March 12, 1843, he being a son of John George and Elizabeth (Kneisler) Geisel. He was one of a family of ten children born to his parents, four of whom survive: Mary married George Gorndon[sic], of Rochester township; Catherine married John Klie and lives at Caro[sic], Michigan. Elizabeth married August Klie, and lives in Colchester; John George.
     Both father and mother were born in Germany, and they came to Ontario in 1824, upon the same vessel. The mother was a daughter of Adam Kneisler, while the father a son of John George Geisel, the name John George being an old family one. From the time he was fourteen years of age, the father of our subject worked upon a farm in Germany until he was thirty-two, saving during that time two hundred dollars. With this little capital, he came to the New World, and settled in the County of Essex, taking up a 100-acre farm of Col. Talbot, in Lot 9, Middle Road, where he built a log house 14 x 16, and began the life of a pioneer. Soon after securing his home, he was married, and there lived until his death, which occurred in 1884, when he was eighty-two years of age. In time he added 100 acres adjoining his original farm in the south, and was a man of wealth and influence. In politics he was independent, voting for the man he deemed best fitted for the office, regardless of party lines. For two years he was an able and fearless member of the township council, but refused further preferment. While brought up a member of the Germany Reformed Church, after locating in the County of Essex, he worshipped in the Methodist Church, there being no church of his denomination in his locality. His wife survived him five years, dying Nov. 16, 1889.
     John George Geisel, our subject, was reared upon the farm...
     In 1870 Mr. Geisel married Miss Rachael Klei, a native of Hanover, Germany, daughter of Gottfried and Mariam E. C. (Stolta) Klei, who came to Ontario in 1855, settling in Colchester, County of Essex, where they passed the remainder of their lives...

In 1855 the family left Germany for Canada, and in time settled on a 200-acre tract in the New Canaan settlement of Colchester North...
     Henry Klie, son of Godfrey, accompanied the family to this country in 1855. In Germany he had wedded Louisa Duva, who was born in Oldendorf, Germany, May 26, 1826, daughter of Christian and Hedwig (Owen) Duva, farming people of Germany...
     ... To Henry Klie and wife were born the following children: Augustus, a farmer of Colchester South, married Libbie Geisel, and had four children...
