Text reads:
Son of the late John Misener, who died in January, 1904, was born in the Township of Wainfleet, on February 19th, 1867, where he has always lived and followed the occupation of farming. He was educated in the public school and in the St. Catharines College of Commerce, where he received a diploma on graduating in 1841. It was in the same year that he was elected to serve as councillor in the township council. He held the reeveship in 1893-4-5, and was thus a County Councillor, being probably the youngest man Welland ever had in that position. In 1895 he came within one vote of attaining the Wardenship, though he did not seek the position. In that year he held the chairmanship the Industrial Home Committee Mr. Misener was a promoter and is to-day, a stockholder in the Forks Road Natural Gas Co., and was instrumental in starting the Fenwick company in 1902, in which he is still interested. In politics he is a staunch Conservative, at the present time serving for the second term as president of the Liberal-Conservative Association of the electoral district of Monck.
