ANTHONY F. EISTETTER

Biloxi and Ocean Springs

           Anthony F. Eistetter was living with Ferdinand W. Illing  (1838-1884) at Ocean Springs with John Eistetter (1856-1904), his brother, in 1880.  They are brick masons and there is a high degree of certitude that they were here to rebuild the Illing House, a local inn, that had been destroyed in a conflagration on June 2, 1879.  Construction of a new hotel commenced in early May 1880.  The two-story structure was planned to be 68 feet long and 40 feet wide.  By June 1880, the new Illing Hotel was rising rapidly from the ash stained ground of the former hostelry.  A reporter for The Pascagoula Democrat-Star related that “it will be a fine building when finished; quite an ornament to that part of town”.(The Pascagoula Democrat-Star, May 14, 1880, p. 3)

      It appears that Anthony F. Eistetter may have Left Biloxi in 1881 to go to Laredo, Texas.  A.F. Eistetter expired at Laredo, Texas in late March 1916.
