  Biography	1911
  History of Outagamie County, Wisconsin Page 0637
  JOHN KESSLER, postmaster of Black Creek, Wisconsin, who for many years engaged in the mercantile business in this village, has been living retired for the past eight years, his only activities being in the performance of his official duties. Mr. Kessler is a native of Switzerland, where he was born May 4, 1848, the only child of J. J. and Elizabeth Kessler, the latter of whom died in Switzerland when she was fifty years old, after which, in 1886, the father came to America and located in Black Creek, where his death occurred in 1892 . John Kessler remained at home with his parents until 1880, during which year he came to the United States, and first settled in Illinois, in which State he remained for about one year. He then went to Appleton, Wisconsin, where he worked for five years as a clerk in a general store, and at the end of this period he removed to a rented farm for one year. Returning to Appleton, he continued to reside here for six months, and then bought eighty acres of land in Black Creek township, on which there were three or four acres cleared, and when he left this property twelve years later, he had cleared sixty-five acres. He came to Black Creek village in 1896 and bought out a mercantile business, which he conducted in addition to his farm, but a short time later sold this store and returned to the farm. Inside of a year he returned to the village, and made a trade whereby he came into possession of a store in Black Creek, and this he conducted for six and one-half years, when he sold the business and retired from all activities other than those of postmaster, which he became in 1901, and assessor. He is a Republican in politics, and in addition to the two offices just mentioned he was township clerk for ten years, treasurer of the village for two terms, treasurer of the school board for six years, and a delegate to the Congressional convention in 1902. He and his family attend the services of St. John's Evangelical Church . In 1873 Mr. Kessler was united in marriage with Miss Barbara Tischhauser, who was born in June, 1849, daughter of John and Barbara (Guldi) Tischhauser, natives of Switzerland, who spent their lives there. Four children have been born to Mr. and Mrs. Kessler: Adolph, who died single at the age of thirty-three years; John, who died at the age of twelve years; Elizabeth, who married Herbert Wright, of Menominee, Michigan, and has four children and Margaret, who married Earl Boyden, of Seymour, Wisconsin, and has two children .
