Currenly only record I am able to find is the 1920 census, when she and brother John were living in an orphanage. SPelling of the last name is based on that census.
Her brother John died in 1976, and at death spelled his last name as Meissinger.
They were residents of: Baltimore Independent city
Home of the Friendless, 1313 Druid Hill Ave., Baltimore (Independent City), 03001205
The home apparently was founded in 1862, and still existed as of 2003 when it was on the National Parks register for Nomination as a historic place.
an 1894 write up: "THE HOME OF THE FRIENDLESS, is situated at the corner of Lafayette and Druid Hill avenues, Baltimore. It is a large brick building, which was erected at a cost of $62,000. It was organized in 1854.
The chief aim of the founders of this institution was to respond to a need for providing a home for the friendless and homeless children, orphans, and half-orphans, or the offspring of vagrants. It has been managed since its organization by a board of ladies, who, by close attention and efficient management, have made the institution one of the most prominent charitable institutions in the State. From its opening to the present time there have been received 5,000 children, and homes have been secured for nearly one thousand of this number. The institution has a capacity of about 200 inmates. The present number of beneficiaries is 165. A kindergarten and other educational facilities are successfully conducted. The home knows no demonimational creed, being non-sectarian. Its principal source of revenue is derived from private contributions. For many years the State has appropriated different sums towards it maintenance, and the General Assembly of 1892 contributed the sum of $3,000 per annum." SSN 225-40-0138, Middle name Martha
