MEUSER, William H. (Mineral Point, WI--Dubuque, IA, Nov. 28, 1944). MAYOR. A founder of the MAIZEWOOD Insulation Company, Meuser was also an important lumberman in Dubuque. Mayor of Dubuque in 1930-1931, Meuser was a former president of the Chamber of Commerce and a member of the board of education.
It was Meuser who, as a council member, suggested that property owners to be affected by future paving projects should be heard by the council. If enough concern was voiced and the project was not considered a priority a great deal of engineering staff time and therefore money could be saved. (1)
A trustee for the Catholic Order of Foresters for nine years, Meuser was elected international treasurer of the organization and held the office for six years.
