Moulton Tribune 13 Jan 1908
On Wednesday, January 6, the funeral services of A.J. Meenach were conducted by Rev J. E. ?, pastor of the Calvary Baptist Church, at the home of his daughter, Mrs. G. B. Helwig. The services were very impressive, and a number of special singers sang " I Know My Heavenly Father Knows, " "Some Time We'll Understand, " and "Safe in the Arms of Jesus." The internment took place at Riverside Cemetery. There were a large number of floral tributes from friends. He leaves a widow and three daughters. Mr. Meenach was born June 16th, 1837, and his early home was in Louisville, Kentucky. He was married at Centerville, Iowa, November 29, 1871, where he resided till he came to Hannibal about eight years ago to reside with his daughter, Mrs. Helwig. Nearly all his life he had been a loyal Christian and a member of the Baptist faith.
Above is taken from a Hannibal paper of December 31st, 1907. Deceased was for a long time a citizen of Moulton, having located here in 1872 and followed the barber's trade. At time of death Comrade Meenach was past 71 years of age.
A. J. Meenach was evidently a rugged character. Born in Louisville, he later became a boatman and made many trips over the rivers of the west. At the breaking out of the Civil War and during that period, he followed the adventerous live, following this life for 10 years. He came to Eddyville, Iowa in 1866 and took up the barber's trade later going to Centerville. In 1870 he was married to Charlotte Sandy and two years later moved to Moulton where he followed his trade until about 10 years ago when he moved to Hannibal, where he lived with his daughter, Mrs. Helwig. The writer remembers being shaved by Comrade Meenach 26 years ago and remembers him as a jovial knight of the razor.
He leaves an aged wife to mourn for one who was kind and clever, and three daughters, Mrs. G.B. Helwig and Mrs. R. M. Fugua, Hannibal, and Mrs. John Bell, of Des Moines. So goes another of Moulton's pioneers. Peace to the dust of the old settler.
