When a small child, together with her parents, she came west, traveling over the country in a wagon, which at the time was the only means of transportation. the family settled in Lynn(Linn) county, Ia.,where she remained for a number of years. In 1872 she was united in marriage for the second time to Henry(Claus)Reinke, the couple coming to Scott county and engaging in farming on middle road until 1892, when Mr. Reinke passed away, the deceased came to Davenport and made her home with her daughter, Mrs. Huot, up to the present time.
