Ia Biographies Reply Here: http://cgi.rootsweb.com/~genbbs/genbbs.cgi/USA/Ia/LeeBios/10069 Surname: SCHINSTOCK ------------------------- Taken from Portrait and Biographical Album of Lee County, Iowa Printed 1887 Pages 236-237 HENRY SCHINSTOCK, a well-to-do and successful farmer of Marion Township, was born in the Empire of Germany, April 4, 1833, on a farm. His father, Casper Schinstock, was a farmer by calling, and followed his vocation in the fatherland. The mother of our subject, Anna Schinstock, was also a native of Germany, and she and her good husband continued to live in that country until their death. Fourteen children were born to them, nine of whom lived to attain the age of maturity. Henry Schinstock lived on his fathers farm and assisted in the maintenance of the family until he was his own man. He than, hoping to better his financial condition in the free Republic beyond the ocean, emigrated to this country and disembarked at New Orleans. From that city he went to St. Louis, MO, where he remained for about three years, working the major portion of the time in a brickyard. With money which he had saved by days labor he purchased a team of horses, that is, he paid half cash and went in debt for the remainder. He, however, followed teaming there for awhile, and then disposing of his team by sale, came to Ft. Madison, this State. Here he ran a brickyard, but this being at the same time the late Civil War was in progress, the business proved unprofitable. He then engaged in farming on rented land in Marion Township, which he followed in this manner for four years. At the expiration of this time he has the snug little sum of $700. He then bought a farm for $1300, and paying his $700 down, and went indebt for the balance. The place consisted of 100 acres, and our subject went to work with all the energy he could bring to bear to clear his place of indebtedness. He soon did so, adding to the same from time to time, and now has 335 acres of choice land, which is located in the garden spot of Lee County. He has erected a good brick residence, substantial barn and outbuildings, and is now enabled to enjoy the fruits of a laborious and successful past. He has dealt extensively in the raising of cattle, and out of this branch of his calling has made a portion of his money. His horses are of the Clydesdale breed, of which he has some fine specimens on his place. Mr. Schinstock was married to Miss Katie H. Holznekempfe, in 1860. She was born in Germany, whence our subject went after and married her. Eleven children have been born to them, five sons and six daughters, namely, Casper, Henry, Anna, Theodore, Peter, Theresa, Christ, Mary, Kate, Lizzie, and Maggie. Mr. Schinstock and his wife together with his children are members of the St. James Catholic Church of St. Paul. In politics Mr. Schinstock votes the Democratic ticket. A view of the handsome residence and surroundings of Mr. Schinstock is shown on another page.
