  HENRY D. REINERS, wholesale dealer, bottler and carbonator, was born in 
New York City, February 26, 1858.  He is a son of Robert and Wubke (Seekamp) 
Reiners, natives of Hanover, Germany.  Robert Reiners was born July 12, 
1819.  They had five children, of whom three are now living: John R. and 
Martha G., residing in Brooklyn; and Henry D., of Huntingdon.  The father 
still resides in Brooklyn, N.Y., where he has for years lived a retired 
life.
  Henry D. Reiners, during his boyhood, lived in New York and Brooklyn; he 
was educated in the public and private schools of Brooklyn, and at Packard's 
College, New York City.  His school course ended, he was engaged as a 
receiving clerk in a wholesale grocery house in New York City; he served in 
this capacity for five years, and afterwards five years more as salesman.  
At the end of this time, Mr. Reiners spent six months in Europe.  On his 
return, in January, 1885, he became a resident of Huntingdon, and commenced 
here the business which he still carries on.  In politics he is not bound to 
any party, but is independent.
  Henry D. Reiners was married in Paulding, Paulding county, Ohio, October 
12, 1887, to Grace E., daughter of Charles E. and Emma (Holcombe) Cooke, of 
that place.  They have one son, Charles Robert, born February 8, 1890.  The 
family attend the Presbyterian church.
