DAVID D. GEIGER is a native of Lawrence County, Ky., was born July 12, 1821,
and is a son of Henry and Susan (Miranda) Geiger, born respectively in Union
County, Penn., and Bracken County, Ky.  The maternal grandfather, Harrod
Miranda, was an early settler of Bracken County, was a large land owner, and
was of German origin.  Henry Geiger, also of German descent, first took up
his residence in Greenup County, whence he removed to Lawrence County, Ky.,
and as early as 1818 was engaged in flatboating to New Orleans.  Daniel D.
Geiger was reared in Boyd County, Ky., as a farmer, and at one time owned a
portion of the land on which Catlettsburg is now situated.  In 1863 he
removed to Ashland, where he was engaged in mercantile business several
years, and then went to Buena Vista, and was there engaged in the lumber
trade, owning 1,000 acres of timber land and one-eight interest in a tract
of 2,700 acres.  In July, 1847, he married Miss Anna E. Henderson, of West
Virginia, and has now nine children living.  Mr. Geiger is a Freemason and a
member of the Methodist Episcopal Church, South.  He is a strict temperance
man, a representative business man, and has greatly assisted in the building
up of the town of Ashland.
