    HENRY W. REINICKE was born August 4th, 1861, in Germany and immigrated to

the United States with his parents in 1871, locating in Muscatine, Iowa, where

he resided with his parents until 1884 when he removed to Faulk county, Dakota

Territory, and preempted the northeast quarter of section 17, township 118,

range 72. After proving up his preemption he filed a tree claim and a homestead

on the east half of section 8, in the same township where he remained and

improved and proved up both his tree claim and his homestead until 1898, and

then sold out his possessions and removed to Faulkton where he remained one year

and then removed onto his improved farm nine miles north-east of Faulkton, that

he had purchased before settling in the western part of the county.



    Since 1899, Mr. Reinicke has remained upon his farm consisting of four

hundred and eighty acres, making extensive improvements, including a fine set of

farm buildings and a two inch artesian well. In the meantime a new line of

railroad has been established, bringing the new towns of Wecota and Cresbard

within six and seven miles respectively and increasing the value of his farm.



    On January 9th, 1891, Mr. Reinicke was united in marriage to Miss Amelia

Holstene of Gettysburg, Potter county, South Dakota. To them have been born four

sons, viz: Frank, Richard, Harry, and Carroll.



    Mr. Reinicke in early years was surrounded by such influences as to lead to

a most bitter hatred against intoxicating liquors, and to best oppose the evil

that grows out of their use, he has identified himself with and has become an

active and efficient worker in the prohibition party. Religiously Mr. and Mrs.

Reinicke are in sympathy with the doctrine and usages of the Methodist Episcopal

church, but being so far beyond any local organization of that church, they have

become active and worthy workers in the Myron Congregational church, which is

located near their home.
