He was born Johann Caspar Reineke in Steinheim, Westphalia, Germany. He came to the United States around 1865, and went by “John”. I have made some corrections to the spellings. For example, the paper misspelled the last name as “Reincke.” Other additions/corrections are in brackets. Death of John Reineke John Reineke passed away Saturday at the home of his daughter, Mrs. Jos. Schmidt [should be spelled Schmitt], south of Carroll, after an illness of four months, the cause of death being Bright’s disease and diabetes. Mr. Reineke was born at Steinheim, Westphalen, Germany, June 23, 1839 and died Saturday, October 7, 1916. In 1869 he was married to Mary Spieker at Newton, Iowa. There they lived until 1876, when they moved to a farm south of Carroll. They remained there until five years ago, when they moved to Carroll to the home they purchased at 410 south Adam[s] Street. On December 18, 1914 his wife died and since then Mr. Reineke has made his home with his children. Of the ten children born, eight survive to mourn their father. John and Anton pr[e]ceded him in death, July 1913. The surviving children are: Mrs. Joseph Schmidt [or Schmitt], Carroll; Joseph and Fred [Reineke], Randolph, Nebraska; Mrs. Nic. Eltgroth, Osakis, Minnesota; William [Reineke], Dedham; Mrs. Joseph Brincks, Maple River; Mrs. John B. Brincks, Willey; and Matthew [Reineke] of Carroll.

The funeral was held Tuesday morning from S[aints] Peter and Paul Church, of which he was a member. Mr. Reineke was a good-hearted, generous minded man, a true neighbor and friend and when in good health, very faithful to his church duties. He will be missed not only by his children, b[ut] by many dear friends.
