August W. Reinholz, a resident of Richland Township, was born in Hanover, Germany, February 11, 1849. His father, John Reinholz, was also a native of Germany, who crossed the ocean and is now living with his son, August W. The latter came to the United States in 1867, and after living about one year near Chicago spent considerable time in traveling through the West. He then returned to Franklin County, Mo., where he lived upon a farm until the fall of 1878, when he purchased his present farm and settled upon the same. This fine farm consists of over 159 acres, upon which our subject is engaged in stock-raising, fruit-growing, etc. In 1872 he selected his companion through life in the person of Miss Mina Fraese, daughter of Henry Fraese, of Franklin County, Mo. This marriage resulted in the birth of six children, two now living: Annie and Emma. Mrs. Reinholz died in November, 1882, and in 1883 Mr. Reinholz married Miss Dora Teman, who bore him four children, three now living: August, Louis and Otto.
