Air, Miller was married in 1863, two years after he settled in Waupaca County to Johanna Aiiller, She died January 24, 1917, at the age of eighty-three years. Several years ago they celebrated their fiftieth golden wedding anniversary^ Mr, Miller was one of the organizers of the German Lutheran Church at Clintonville, and has been one of its most faithful members ever since.. He and his wife are the parents of the following children: Alinnie, wife of Louis Stumpner; Caroline, who married Herman Borchardt, now deceased; William; Lena, who married Herman Schoenheide; and Ida, who became the wife of William Schwandt, Herman Reinke is one of the older residents of Bear Creek Township. His name has been identified with the farming activities of that com¬ munity for more than thirty years. His success has been well won, since he has relied upon his own industry and persevering efforts to put him ahead in the world. He has a first class farm, manages it with a high degree of intelligence and enterprise, and also enjoys the prestige of a public spirited citizen. Mr. Reinke was born in Dodge County, Wisconsin, February 3, 1854, and has spent his entire life in this state. His parents were Carl and Augusta (Busloff) Reinke, both natives of Germany. His father made a living in Germany as a teamster. In 1852 he came to America, locating in Lemire Township of Dodge County. He was a farmer there until his death. He and his wife were confirmed members of the German Luth¬ eran Church and reared their family in the same faith. There were four children: Herman, Augusta, John and Fred. Herman Reinke lived on his father's farm in Dodge County until he was nineteen years of age. He had considerable experience while there which has proved valuable in later years, and at the same time he at¬ tended the public schools of Lemire Township, On leaving home he learned the wagon maker's trade, and that was his main occupation for a number of years. He worked at it two years in Lemire, and in 1879 went to Black Creek, Wisconsin, where he made wagons for about three years. In November, 1882, Mr, Reinke came to Waupaca County and settled in section 24 of Bear Creek Township. While getting his land into condition for farming he continued as a wagon maker for four years. Since then his time and energies have been entirely taken up with the management of his farm, consisting of 115 acres. Besides gen¬ eral farming he also handles a first class dairy. Air, Reinke served as treasurer of Bear Creek Township from 1886 to 1911, a period of a quarter of a century. It is one of the longest con¬ tinuous records of service in any township office in the county. He was also school clerk for six years. He is now a member of the board of trustees of the German Lutheran Church. In 1878 Mr, Reinke married
