The Feisters settled in the state of "Brotherly Love, "Philadelphia, Penn's woods, the year of 1752. Ludwig Feister was originally a refugee from the countries bordering the Rhine. From these countries came the Amish, Mennonites, Lutherans, Reformed, Dutch Quakers, French Huguenots, and other groups who came to this new world, seeking the religious freedom promised by William Penn. In the rolling hills and the mountains of southeastern Pennsylvania, in the middle of the lands between the Delaware and Susquehanna Rivers lived the peoples who are the Pennsylvania Dutch, these people, called the Plain People are religious, industrious, thrifty, compassionate and superstitious; celebrate Christmas and Easter. All contributed their faith in God and their religious customs to produce the diversified cultures. That is where I was born, September 11,1931 to plain people, Jacob Sylvester and Dorothy Mae Feister just a few miles from Harristown, Intercourse, Vintage, and Paradise, deep in the heart of Amish and Mennonite country. Even today some of my kinfolk are the plain people who live in large houses and barns painted red and white with large forebays. Graduating from the class of '51, Thaddeus Stevens (Thaddeus Stevens State Technology) in Lancaster Pennsylvania, I entered the Armed Services, Army Air Corps. It is now called the United States Air Force. After receiving my wings, I departed for the far east, orient, Japan, I married Keiko Sano, the great grand samurai family of the Sano clan ennobled after the restoration, no count. Keiko's grandfather the great suguris, ashikaga, a branch of the minamoto (Seiwa A-Genji) gave 15 Shotguns to Japan from 1338 until 1573. We have three sons and two daughters. At the present time I reside in the city of San Francisco and am employed by the department of the treasury, San Francisco Mint. |

The Voyage of the Mayflower (Dedicated to the American Sons and Daughters of the American Revolution)Where truly doleful was the sightSad and mournful parting To see what sights and sobs and prayers
What tears did enthusiasm from every eye
But ye tide which stays for no man
Thy reverend Pastor falling down on his
And there at the river "text"
I proclaimed a fast
Seek of him a right way for us and for
But they knew they were pilgrims and
In the double darkness of night and thick ocean fog
Thunderbolt's tearing apart the rough breathing
They fell with that land made is

Ie sate under that green oak tree
Look far to thy west
Ie reached out my hand and ay quiet butterfly
Beauty grows as time passes I have been told
That's when Ie realized
