Read More	Harry Reints, one of Elgin township's well-known and progressive farmers, is a native of Illinois, born at Freeport, that state, but has been a resident of Plymouth county since 1885. He was born on October 31, 1864, son of William and Hilka (Van Deist) Reints, natives of Germany, who had come to this country in the days of their youth with their respective parents, both families settling in Stephenson county, Illinois. There William Reints was married. He owned a farm in the vicinity of Freeport and was also engaged in the lumber business and operated a grocery store at that place. Later he located on a farm near Foreston, in Ogle county, Illinois, and there remained until 1885, in which year he disposed of his interests at that place and moved to Iowa, settling on a farm in Stanton township, this county. He developed that farm and became one of the substantial farmers of that neighborhood. His wife died there in July, 1904, and he has since been making his home with a daughter on the old home place and with a son in Oklahoma. William Reints is a member of the Evangelical Association, as was his wife, and their children were reared in that faith. There were seven of these children, of whom the subject of this sketch was the third in order of birth, the others being as follow; Kate, the widow of Richard Meiners, of Stanton township; William, deceased; M. W., of Le Mars; Annie, who married Charles Werth and lives in Stanton township; Maggie, who married William Werth and lives Le Mars, and John, who is now farming in Key county, Oklahoma. Harry Reints received his schooling in the common schools of Ogle county, Illinois, and grew up to the life of the farm. When his parents came to Plymouth county in 1885 he accompanied them and assisted in the work of improving the developing the home farm, remaining there until his marriage in 1892, after which he settled on the farm in section 16 of Elgin township, where he has since made his home and where he and his family are very pleasantly situated. When Mr. Reints took possession of that place it was a "new" farm and all the improvements on the place have been made by him. In 1895 he built a fine new house and in 1906 built a new barn. The other improvements on the place are in keeping with these, the whole place being well kept and profitably cultivated. In addition to his general farming, Mr. Reints pays considerable attention to his live stock, raising a good grade of cattle, Poland China hogs and draft horses and is doing very well. He is a Republican and has served the public in the capacity of school director and as township road superintendent, in which latter capacity he is now serving. In the spring of 1892 Harry Reints was united in marriage to Martha Detloff, who was born at Bloomington, Illinois, a daughter of Henry and Paulina (Pech) Detloff, pioneers of Plymouth county, further mention of whom is made elsewhere in this volume, and to this union six children have been born, namely; Carrie, who married Frank Weber, of Fredonia township, and has one child, a son, Leonard, and Henry, William, Leona, Lewis (deceased) and Minnie. The Reints family have a very pleasant home and take a proper part in the general social activities of the community in which they live. http://www.rootsweb.ancestry.com/~iabiog/plymouth/p1917/p1917-r.htm
