July 8, 1904 Boonville Weekly Advertiser:
"Henry Meistrell, wife and three children are visiting his parents, Mr. and Mrs. N. Miesitrell, on Spring street. Eleven years ago Henry went to New York. Though a stranger in a strange city, his willingness to work, an his determination to accomplish something, stood him in good stead. The linotype was then in its infancy, only the largest newspaper offices in the country being equipped with them. The wonderful mechanism of this almost human invention appealed to the genius of the country boy. He became fascinated with it and determined to learn all about it. He secured employment in the office of the 'Journal'.
In a few years he had mastered the machine and becamean expert repairer. A few years later he was given charge of all the machines int he office, which is the largest in the world. this position he has held since. For several years, his brother, Joe, has been with him.
