Dirk married Gebke Nuttbrock on Feb. 5, 1879 in Ackley, IA. 10 children were born to this union; Joe D., John D., Grace J., Dick, Anna, Otilda, Dick, Alyce Joyce, Kathryn Emmaline and Jeanette. Dirk attained the age of 85 years, 1 month and 1 day. The following is from the Lennox Diamond Jubilee Book. The settling of this section in what was then Dakota Territory constitutes an episode in the pioneering development of the last west. Typical and symbolic of that era was overland journeys in the covered wagon. Among the early settlers coming to this region and traveling overland in a covered wagon were Mr. and Mrs. Dick Reiners. Their parents were numbered among the pioneers of Grundy County, Iowa. Mr. Reiners was one of the original homesteaders in section 32, what is now part of West Lennox. Dick Reiners was born in Germany on March 30, 1856, son of Mr. and Mrs. John Reiners. He came to America with his parents in 1862 and settled in Grundy County, Iowa. There he grew to manhood and on February 5, 1879 was united in marriage to Effie Nuttbrock. In the fall of 1880 they came to Lincoln county and Lennox, and located on a homestead which is now a part of the land within the corporate limits -of this city. Here they shared in the pioneer struggles of that early day. Mr. Reiners presently resides here, retaining his activeness and interest in current affairs, and enjoying good health. Mrs. Reiners was born in Stephenson County, Illinois, on May 13, 1860, daughter of Mr. and Mrs. John Nuttbrock. When but a girl she moved with her parents to Ackley, Iowa, where she grew to womanhood. Coming here to the then new settlement in the Lennox area, Mrs. Reiners braved the hardships incident to the development of a new country. Typical of the pioneer woman of that -day, she witnessed the transformation wrought upon these virgin prairies and lived to see the rise of a prosperous community. Eleven children were born to this union, four sons and seven daughters. Mrs. Reiners passed away on August 27, 1915. Survivors are: two sons, Joe and John, five daughters, Mrs. Wm. Wallenstein, Mrs. Fred Van Zon, Mrs. O. C. Solberg, Mrs. R. A. Wilkinson and Mrs. George Raker.
