**********************************************************************

William F. Jaeger, blacksmith at Cedar Fork, is the son of Charles and
Sophia (Jorss) Jaeger, both natives of Mecklenburg, Germany, and resi-
dents of that country until 1867, when they came to New York, and from
there to Franklin County, Mo., and here passed the remainder of their
days on the farm.  They lived to be seventy-one and sixty-nine years,
respectively.  William F. is the youngest of a family of seven child-
ren, five sons and two daughters. He was also born in Germany, in 1859
and received his education in both English and German.  At the age of
eighteen he began to learn his trade.  After working for others until
1882, he opened a shop, and has been successfully engaged in business
ever since.  In 1883 he married Miss Anna C. Meyer, daughter of John 
H. Meyer.  The fruits of this union were two children:  Hertha and
Florence.  In 1885 Mr. Jaeger was appointed postmaster at Cedar Fork,
which position he has since held.  He is a Republican in politics, is
considered a good smith and has received a liberal patronage.
