Notes |
- Arthur Remer Meerscheidt was born on January 22, 1882 in La Grange, Texas. Arthur’s whole life was determined and altered by an injury at birth, due to pressure of a blood clot on the brain producing seizures which though not epileptic were similar in effect. A paralysis of his left side occurred at birth.
He never went to public school but had private tutors, until his father took him to live with a physician in Germany along with other members of the family. He had wonderful care and in the summers the physician took him to watering spas where several operations were performed on his left foot and left hand, but he remained paralyzed, and walked with a cane. Of course he never worked, but studied continuously writing in a little note book. He was very bright. Arthur made one trip back to Europe with the whole family in 1906 through the summer of 1907.
On return the family moved to Washington and then over to Mercer Island. Here he went on long walks with the family dog and it was in 1914 that he went on such a walk, suffered a seizure, fell and hit his head on a large rock. He died almost instantly from the injury. Thus he was found February 22, 1914. Arthur had been a sweet and loving son and brother.
