Wm. Reinhold, Public Figure, Dies Tuesday
William H. Reinhold, for over thirty years a prosperous Town of Schleswig
farmer and highly respected public official, and since 1922 a resident of
Kiel, died at his home here Tuesday morning at seven o'clock. Few men in
this vicinity have left behind them so long a record of faithful public
service as Mr. Reinhold who even at his age of 75 retained a keen mind
and was well informed on current events.
The deceased was born September 29 in the town of Schleswig, the son of
the late Claus and Anna Reinhold. On the homestead farm he grew to manhood.
On February 12, 1866, he was united in marriage to Miss Mary Sievers of 
New Holstein, and immediately after, entered into a partnership with his
brother Henry, founding a hardware store in Reedsville. After a year in
business, he sold his interest to his brother, and returned to the home-
stead farm, of which he assumed active control. It was there that he came
to be an important factor in civic and governmental affairs. Offices he
held prior to his retirement from public life included 21 years as school
clerk of school district number 3 in Schleswig; 17 years as justice of
the peace; three years as supervisor of the town of Schleswig; four years
as town chairman; and ten years as superintendent of roads for the town.
In addition, he was a director in the Eaton Cemetery Ass'n and the Schleswig
Telephone Co. until the time of his death.
It was in 1922 that he withdrew from active live, selling the farm to John
Spettel and moving to Kiel, where he had since made his home. His wife
preceded him in death Dec. 3, 1928. Five children, all of whom are living,
were born to the couple. They are: Mrs. Herman (Theresa) Reseburg and Mrs.
George (Helen) Krueger of Valders; and Miss Emma at home; Rudolph of
Minneapolis; and George of Milwaukee.
Three sisters, Mrs. Dora Gisch, Mrs. Helen Parlaman, and Mrs. Herman Walters,
all of Milwaukee, also survive, as well as three grandchildren.
For many years while he lived on the farm, he acted as correspondent for the
Kiel National-Zeitung and later the Tri-County Record. He was also a 
contributor to the Manitowoc Pilot.
Funeral services will be held at 2:00 Friday from the home and interment will
be in the Eaton cemetery. The Rev. E.L. Worthman will conduct the last rites.

REV. ALBERT REININGER


Rev. Albert Reininger

In November 1883, Rev. Albert Thomas Reininger became the pastor of
our parish. He was born on Dec. 21, 1850, at Ulm, Baden, Germany,
coming to America in 1969. He entered St. Lawrence College Mt. Calvary,
in 1872. He finished his studies at St. Francis Seminary, Sorrows,
Coller, Wis. and Fredonia, Wis. before coming to Charlesburg. After
leaving Charlesburg he served at St. Norbert's Roxbury and at St.
Lawrence, Wis. He became chaplain of St. Mary's Hospital Racine, in
1915. After 19 years he retired from the chaplaincy but remained at
the hospital to make his home there. He died there on Feb. 16, 1941
at the age of 90. He lies buried at Chilton. He was pastor of our
parish from Nov. 1883 to Oct. 1888. Noteworthy in his pastorate is
the installation of the present church bells. The small, ill voiced
bell then still in use, had long lost its appeal. On October 23, 
1884,the present bells were purchased from the Buckey Bell Foundry 
of Cincinnati, Ohio, at a cost of $1140. The even was the three
hundreth anniversary of the death of St. Carl Borromeo - hence three
bells for the three centuries. The bells bear the names of Carl,
Joseph and Mary. They are tuned to the keys of E, F sharp and B,
together striking a most harmonious chord. For nearly sixty years
these beautiful bells have sent their music over the countryside,
proclaiming the age old faith and its obligations to every 
parishioner. With their ringing much of the history of our church
and parish re-echoes within us.

KATIE REINL


Katie Reinl

She is buried at the St. Charles Cemetery, Charlestown, Calumet County 
under the name "Katharina Reinl". It seems she never married and died 
young.  Her dates are Sept. 28, 1858-Dec. 11, 1886.  The people next to 
her are her parents.  They are Anton Reinl (Feb. 9, 1819-Nov. 18, 1893) 
and Anna Marie Reinl (Jan. 28, 1821-May 28, 1894).  I have not found a 
death record for Katharina in the four county area I search. I suspect 
that she died somewhere else.
