William was born on September 6, 1838; Maria was born on December 30, 1842. They were married in Germany. They immigrated to the United States from Germany in the year 1870. They first lived near Tinley Park, Illinois, where they rented a farm from a distant relative, and lived there fifteen years. In those fifteen years William Henke and Christian Bornemann took a trip to Iowa with intentions of taking up a homestead. The following children of William and Maria were born before they came to Oliver County: Frederick, born in Illinois on November 19, 1870; Elisa, (Mrs. Christian Bornemann) May 18, 1872; Dietrich Frederick, April 14, 1876; Sophia (Mrs. Christ Zum Mallen), September 7, 1878; Dora (Mrs. Henry H. Albers), May 25, 1880; William Friedrich, July 31, 1883; and a son and daughter who died and are buried near Homewood, Illinois. In the year 1886 in March, Elisa was confirmed, and the William Henkes made plans to immigrate to the Dakota Territory. They came by railroad immigration car. They brought the necessary implements, lumber for a house, and some livestock. William and Maria and their six children homesteaded about sixteen miles north of New Salem and about 4 miles south of the Johann Albers farm. Later it was officially called Hannover with an establishment of a post office. Christian Bornemann Sr., who was a carpenter, helped William finish the building of his house. Another son, Louis Dietrich Friedrich, was born on June 16, 1886. He was baptized on Wednesday, July 21, 1886, by Pastor F. Photenhauer, missionary at large for Minnesota, the Dakota Territory, and Montana. They as early settlers, experienced the big prairie fire of 1891, and also the Indian scare. Then they had a double scare as Louis their youngest son about four years old was afraid and hid in a closet. The family picked buffalo bones and hauled them to New Salem for the needed cash.
