Gustav's son, Paul Julius Mieske

This is Gust Mieske, my Grandfather, my dad Paul Mieske's father and your (Dar) Great Grandfather.  His wife was Julia; unusual name for a German girl.  They had a large farm near Midland, Michigan.  You may not have ever been there.  It was one of Tim's fondest memories of spending a weekend there, when he was about 7yrs. old and being wakened very early in the morning by Uncle Benny to go do the milking, etc.  Your Mom (Pearl) and I quite often spent a week or so there during the summer when we were kids, along with some cousins from "the city" Detroit.

Love,
Auntie Alma
