BIOGRAPHICAL SECTION (Watch for errors) George Reiss, who has practically retired from active life, but still resides in his fine residence- in Big Grove township, owns 400 acres of well improved land. He was born in Lee County, Ill-Illinois, 8 October 1818, son of Jacob and Julia (Aschenburner) Reiss, both deceased; Jacob died of cholera in 1850, aged about 35; and his widow died in 1871, aged 63. They came from Chrieseschway, Germany, where they married, after which they emigrated to America. They came to Chicago by water, and thence by ox team to Lee Co., which was then very sparsely settled. He worked one year, and in payment received an 80 acre tract of land, on which he built a home. He died the same fall, leaving a widow and six small children, 3 being sons and 3 daughters. The family resided on this farm until George was about 12 years old, the children working and caring for themselves as soon as old enough. Of the six children but three survive, namely George; Mrs. Martha Krug of Lee Co., Ill., and Jacob H. of Guthrie Co, Iowa. George Reiss received a very limited education and has earned his living since twelve years of age. In his youth and early manhood, he studied during his leisure hours, and to such good advantage that he became a well informed man. When 23 years old he began fanning on his own account, having by that time saved up some $1500. After carrying on a farm in Lee Co., Ill., he sold out to good advantage and decided to move farther west. After looking through Nebraska and Iowa, he decided to locate in Benton Co., and purchased 240 acres in Big grove Twp., to which he has since added as he was able. He has erected substantial buildings on his farm, and it is well tiled, containing some 4,000 rods of tiling. Politically Mr. Reiss is a Republican, and has filled various local offices. He is a member of the Modern Brotherhood of America and he and his family are members of the M. E. Church of Garrison. Mr. Reiss married, in Lee Co., Ill., Minnie Anthes, born in Henry Co., but reared in Bureau Co., Ill., dau. of Rev. J. C. and Louisa (Just) Arthes, who were early residents in Illinois. j. C. Arthes died in 1884, in Ill., and his widow died in Nebraska, where the family had resided for several years, in 1907, in her 81st year. Mr. Reiss and his wife have 7 children: Anna: W. F.

Source of information from the book "The Harvesting of the Rice (Reiss) Cropp by Pat Wiff, page XVI BIOGRAPHICAL SKETCHES OF THE CHILDREN OF JACOB AND JULIA REISS AND OF JACOB AND JULIA , THEMSELVES as put together by Jennie Leah Reiss, daughter of Jacob Reiss Jr. George Reiss, was born in Lee Co., IL 8 October 1840 where he lived until an adult. When he was young he and his brother Jacob did play with Indain boys when they lived near Lee Center. He married Wilhelmina Anthes, born October 15, 1850, a daughter of Kasper John Anthes (buried in the old Bradford Cemetery) and Louise Emma Just Anthes. Louise Emma Just was the sister to Wilhelmina Just Maas, mother of the wife of Jacob Reiss. George Reiss farmed near Ashton and then moved to Garrison, Iowa in 1883. He died July 13, 1934 at the age of 84 years, 9 months, 5 days. He had Wilhelmina had seven children: Anna and Emma, twins; John, Martha, Mary, Ezra and Josephine. Source of information: Luella M Schwalen as provided to Pat Wiff for her book 'Harvesting the Rice (Reiss) Crop see page 430 In 1886, Grandpa George Reiss took his daughters Mary (May) and Martha, ages six and four, to Sutton, Nebraska to visit his mother, great-grandmother Louisa Anthes (mother-in-law) and to look for a farm he might buy. Great-grandmother Anthes had moved to Nebraska following the death of her husband. at this time Grandpa Reiss was living in Ashton, IL about 35 miles south of Rockford, IL. A hot, dry wind had withered the corn and the other crops in Nebraska look doubtful. Grandpa went back to Ashton and told Willie that he could not let his children live in Nebraska and starve. subsequently, he bought a farm near Garrison, Iowa and the family lived there for the rest of their lives. The decision to move to Garrison was influenced by the fact that Grandpa knew Rinehart Shellhouse who had already moved to that area. Shellhouse was a cousin of Grandpa's brother-in-law Conrad Crook (Krug). The youngest child was only a month old when the family moved to Iowa. Grandpa sold his farm in Illinois for $78 an acre and bought 350 acres in Iowa for $45 an acre. The years proved the wisdom of the move as the land proved to be good and provided the family with a good living. until the time of his death, Grandpa was firm in his belief that Iowa had the best farmland in the entire world. He prospered and accumulated more and more land until he got to be considered a very wealthy farmer. He and other neighbors did well. His business dealings were not always so fortunate when he ventured into fields other than farming and some of his affluence was diminished when he invested in banking. He and other stockholders were left holding the bag following the embezzlement of a large sum of money by a cashier. he was among those caught in the market crash in 1929. Even so, there was sufficient property and capital to provide for all the families needs. Sometime prior to 1907, Grandpa Reiss retired and turned the farms over to the sons. He hired Will Klein to build a new home for him and Grandma and those children still at home. Grandmother Willie died in 1915 of complications resulting from gallstones. I was five years old at that time.

Notes for HENRY BOESHAAR BARKER: Henry was born in Milwaukee and lived there until about 1910. Because of some financial difficulty in the company where he was employed, he moved to Iowa and changed his name to Barker. Consequently, the younger children grew up as Barkers and not as Boeshaars. Only Henry's oldest son, Eugene, kept the family name. Aunt Lydia Wrote; "Henry was a talented, fine-looking man, in my opinion." His granddaughter, Betty, wrote; " All I remember about Grandpa is what a crab he was. Je never smiled. It seemed he never said anything unless it was to bawl someone out. Grandma was an angel. Of course, I was just a little girl and they lived with us." Peggy wrote: " I always think of Henry as Grandpa Barker, I never knew why some of the family was Barker and Uncle Eugene was a Boeshaar. I imagined Grandpa must have done something wrong and my imagination made me think much worse things than were really true. They were good grandparents to us kids. He loved his garden; and he had SOME garden." Henry move several times in his early married life, from Milwaukee to Illinois and back to Milwaukee in several locations before he moved to Iowa. He was a salesman, or agent, and apparently owed his company quite a sum of money. [He enjoyed social life outside of his home beyond what he earned when supporting his family.] rather than pay the consequences or debt incurred, he moved out of state and changed his name to Barker. Although his company was reimbursed, from his share of his father's estate (records in Milwaukee Co. Court House), Henry did not return to Milwaukee. The "crime" seems to have been more to the family pride than to any actual misdemeanor. In later generations, the incident might have been forgotten except for the change of name -- it is related here only to explain the change of name. Bits About the Schmidts, 1975.

ROSALINA "RosaAnna" BOESHAAR, b. 19 Jan 1863, Milwaukee, WI; d. 16 Jun 1944, Granville, WI; m. JOHN SCHMIDT, 20 Feb 1884; b. 27 Apr 1863; d. 21 Jun 1919, Granville, WI. Notes for JOHN SCHMIDT: John Schmidt grew up on his father's farm on Wauwatosa Avenue. He learned the cooper trade, because Anton insisted all of his boys must learn a trade. Although John was a farmer all of his life, he made beer barrels on the farm during the winter. This was a special skill as beer barrels must stand the pressure of fermentation. The children gathered cattail leaves to put between the staves, to seal them. All of the Schmidt boys were skilled in handling wood. The schnitzelbunk was a necessary tool in their home. All of John's sons turned to carpentry or woodcraft of some kind at some time in their lives, although all of his boys were also farmers. In 1884 John was married to Rosa Boeshaar, and they began married life in the tenant house on Uncle Phillip's farm at 130th and Burleigh. The lived there about four years. Lydia, Ella and Laura were born here. From here they moved to Uncle Phillip's house on 87th and Lisbon. Walter was born here in 1888. In 1889, Cora was born, while they lived on the Oscar Hartung farm. In 1890, David Boeshaar, Rosa's brother (who was farming on the land that is now Wanderer's Rest Cemetery) and John Schmidt tried farming in Oshkosh. Grandma Rosie used to tell of the auction on Hartung's farm, how payment was made in silver instead of checks or paper money. They put the money in a grain bag to carry it to the bank. The bag was so heavy Grandpa could scarcely lift it to the wagon seat. The families were put on the train at West Granville to make the trip to Oshkosh. John and David each drove a team of wagons loaded with personal belongings. They arrived in Oshkosh several days later. John and Rosa chose a farm near Fitzgerald Station, about a mile down the road from Boeshaars. John stayed in Oshkosh for twelve years; Lillie and John were born there. There were six children in seven years, and Aunt Minnie's family were of a close age. Early school memories for these children are rooted in Oshkosh. These two families of cousins, doubly related, grew up together; always at each other's places doing things together. In the spring of 1902, John Schmidt returned to Milwaukee county. He bought the Tenneson farm on 107th and Silver Spring, in the town of Granville. In August of that year Elmer was born. Some of the stories have it that Grandpa was not happy with this "trailer" addition to the family, ten years after the youngest one, but Elmer became his Pet and was more coddled and spoiled than an only child. They lived on the Tenneson farm for 16 years. In 1910-1912, the Northwestern Railroad built a Belt Line from Butler to Sparta. Grandma turned the huge farm house into a boarding house for about 20 skilled workers, such as cranemen, engineers and shovelmen. Grandma got $5 a week room and board, with laundry and lunches packed. Lillie was still home to help with the extra work. These two years were lucrative years for the Schmidts. Both Johnny and Walter worked on trestle building. Unskilled construction workers stayed in a camp near Butler. They got .25 cents an hour wage. Skilled workers could earn from $150 to $250 per month, but they often worked many extra hours without overtime, to keep the job going smoothly. In 1912, Johnny was married and farmed with his father. All of Johnny's children were born in this big house. When Grandpa moved to Milwaukee in 1918, to 625 27th Street, Gust and Lillie Kaun moved onto the Tenneson farm to work in partnership with Johnny, for one year. Johnny moved to Sherman, N.Y., and Gust stayed on this farm until 1954. The big house was struck by lightning on June 7, 1920 (the day after Verna was born). In 1933 the barn burned. In the late 40's Timmerman Airfield bought 40 acres of the farm and Gust bought the other 80. Grandpa missed the farm. He took a job with the Menomonee Beet Co. as a sort of public relations man between farmers and company. He felt this would keep him close to farm friends and farm work. He had a Model T Ford to travel the area. He broke his arm cranking it and needed someone to help him drive. As Elmer was helping Walter with farm work, Uncle Fred Schmidt suggested 11-year old Stewart could help. On June 21, 1919, while making the rounds of the farms in the town of Granville, their car was struck by a train at the crossing on Wauwatosa Ave. Both were killed. Uncle Fred not only lost a son but a favorite brother.

All three of their boys were born here, but Polly was not well and they decided to move to Milwaukee on 27th Street between Lisbon and Vine. Louie worked in the wash house at the Blatz Brewery most of his life, where he was foreman. Louie and his brothers, Fred and George (and even the loudest brother John on his own farm) made barrels during the winter and sold them to the brewery. In the fall of each year, Louie Schmidt and his brother-in-law, Herman Gruett, did threshing. They owned their own threshing rig for many years. They were much sought afterin the area because of the thorough job of threshing they did. After Louis' death, Polly made her home with her son Erwin's family; until three years before her death, she went to live with her sister Lydia at Columbus, WI. She died there at age 96.

If you arrived here inside a frame or from a link from somewhere else, our front door is atBIOGRAPHY: http://www.rootsweb.com/~usgenweb/sd/sdfiles.htm BIOGRAPHY: JOHN F. JUST. Among the leading and representative agriculturists of Washington township, Aurora county, South Dakota, stalwart and sturdy tillers of the soil, there is none who stands a more prominent figure than the gentleman whose name introduces this sketch. His residence, which stands upon section 9, is pleasant and substantial, and is known far and wide for the open hospitality and geniality of its inmates.BIOGRAPHY: The father of our subject, John Just, was a native of Prussia, Germany, and a miller and distiller by trade. On coming to America in 1838 he operated a distillery in Ohio, and later removed to Milwaukee, Wisconsin. It was in that city that John F. Just was born in 1845 and there he was reared until sixteen years of age. He was educated in a parochial school of the Lutheran church, and being a bright, studious boy, well advanced in his studies, he was confirmed at the age of thirteen. After leaving school he started to learn the shoemaker's trade, but as his brother-in-law needed his help upon a farm in Illinois, he went to that state, where he remained one year. At the end of that time he returned to Milwaukee and completed his apprenticeship, after which he spent six years on the farm in Illinois, as he much preferred the life of an agriculturist. During the Civil war he wished to enlist in the Union service, but as he was not of age and could not get his parents' consent, he was obliged to remain at home. BIOGRAPHY: In 1867 Mr. Just married Miss Catherine Hotzell, a daughter of John and Sophia (Andermann) Hotzell, natives of Germany. Her father came to America in 1842 and was married in Lee Centre, Lee county, Illinois. Six children have been born to our subject and his wife, but one is now deceased. Those living are Mary L., the wife of Edward F. Mitchell, now residing in Plankinton, the marriage ceremony taking place June 1, 1899; George, who is in the creamery business in Iowa; Manuel, who was married December 15, 1898, and is living in South Dakota; Charlie; and Ernest. BIOGRAPHY: For two years after his marriage Mr. Just continued to engage in farming in Illinois, where he owned a farm of eighty acres, of which sixty-five acres were under cultivation. Upon the place was a good orchard of apple and cherry trees and plenty of currants. In 1869 he moved to Ashton, that state, where he was' engaged in the boot and shoe business for some time and worked at his trade. He met with success, but owing to ill health he was obliged to change his business, and in 1876 he sold his boot and shoe store 'end embarked in the furniture business, which he followed until coming to Dakota in the spring of 1883. The year previous he had visited this state and filed a claim on the southeast quarter of section 9, Washington township, and another on the northeast quarter of the same section. For a year he lived there alone, being joined by his family in the spring of 1884. His first home here was a shanty, 12 x 16 feet, made of a very poor grade of flooring, but he paid for this lumber twenty dollars per thousand feet. To keep the house from being blown away he banked it high with earth and stone, and until he constructed a sod stable, 8 x 12 feet, west of his shanty in the fall of 1884, his horses were staked near the house. The property brought with him to Dakota consisted of one cow, nine horses, some chickens, a reaper, a second-hand plow, a set of harness, a wagon and also a hearse, which he had used when engaged in the undertaking business in connection with the furniture trade. This hearse is still in use in White Lake. Renting his farms here Mr. Just and his family returned to Illinois in the fall of 1885 and remained there until 1887, since which time they have permanently resided here. They now have a comfortable home, 24 x 24 feet, with a basement, also a large barn, 34 x 64 feet, and good granary, corn cribs, cattle and sheep sheds. Mr. Just has added to his farm by the purchase of the north half of section 10, Washington township, and now has one hundred and seventy-five acresunder a high state of cultivation. BIOGRAPHY: Mr. Just is one of the prominent and influential members of the Republican party in his community, and in 1896 he was their candidate [or the state legislature. He has held numerous township offices with credit to himself and to the satisfaction of all concerned, is now a member of the Republican central committee and postmaster of Robey. Religiously, he and his wife are consistent members of the Presbyterian church and they have the respect and esteem of all who know them.
