Reinbold, Andrew:  (TS*:  1851-1891; shared with Elizabeth; did not view);  “Andrew Reinbold.  #204. Filed: April 8, 1898.  Died: 2-01-1893 in Lincoln County.  File #205: Reinbold Children, filed April 8, 1898, guardianship. Petition by mother, Elizabeth Reinbold, widow of Andrew. Children: Andrew Alfred Reinbold, aged 6 years on Oct 15, 1892. August Henry Reinbold, aged 3 years on Dec 13, 1892.  Father: Andrew Reinbold died Feb 1, 1893. Property in Sec 4 T 27 R 36 and Sec 3 T 27 R 36.” (Notes from Lincoln County Superior Court Probates #204 and #205);  {Per the Reinbold genealogy, Andrew was the 3rd child of Mathias Reinbold. He was born 2-05-1851 and died 2-02-1891. “Andrew, Simon and Mathias Jr came to America in 1880 and were joined by Jacob later in the year. They worked on farms in Minnesota and then for the railroad in Miles City, Montana. From there, Andrew and Jacob proceeded on foot arriving in 1882 in Washington Territory to set up their homesteads. In 1885 his fiancé, Elizabeth Hildwhine, traveling with Kathleen Bieler by boat and train from Germany, , arrived in October in Sprague, where Andrew and Lizzie were married before proceeding to their farm in Egypt.” The children of Andrew and Lizzie were shown as:  Andrew (1886), Willie (1887) and August (1889).}  Since Willie born 12-21-1887 is not mentioned in the probate, it is assumed that he died prior to 1898 when the probate was filed.  Since the family history shows the date of Andrew’s death as 1891, it is assumed that the error lies in the probate records, which were delayed in filing.

She was also a charter member of the Community Grange, later transferring her membership to the North Star Grange.  Mrs Reinbold maintained a large orchard and garden for several years, canning countless half-gallon jars of fruits and vegetables. In earlier years, she canned and cured meats, as refrigerators and freezers were new to the family in 1942. The Reinbolds retired from the farm in 1945 and moved to Davenport where they continued to be active in church and community. They enjoyed traveling and spent 14 winters in Banning, CA. In 1954, they sailed on the Queen Mary to Europe for a three-month tour. During the trip, they visited relatives in the Schwartzwald, West Germany. They returned home on the Queen Elizabeth.

Died: 30 Sept 1942, Spokane City, Spokane Co, WA. Age 81 yrs. Certificate #1277.” (Washington State Death Index)  “Jacob Reinbold, a farmer living one mile north of Egypt, was born March 28, 1861, in Baden, Germany, the son of Mathias and Christina Reinbold. He is a brother of Simon Reinbold, a sketch of whose life is given elsewhere in this volume. Mr Reinbold attended school in his native country, where he was reared on a farm, and received a good common school education. In October of the year 1880 he set sail from Havre, France, aboard a French steamer bound for the United States, and arrived in New York City, whence he came to Aurora, Illinois. His next moved was to Minneapolis, where during the winter after his arrival at that city he followed lumbering. In April, 1882, he came to Miles City, Montana, where he joined his brothers Andrew Simon and George, with whom he became employed on the Northern Pacific railroad. After a brief time, in company with his brothers, Andrew and George, he started on foot to his present locality, which they finally reached after a walk totaling eight hundred miles. During this tiresome journey the brothers underwent great hardships, at different times they having to tramp over the hot prairie hungry and thirsty, although they had money with which to buy food if only it could be had. One brother settled here, married, and died in 1893, leaving a widow and two sons. Our subject arrived here and ate his first meal on the farm he now owns in 1882. The place was then the property of another from whom Mr Reinbold has since purchased it. He settled on a homestead two miles west of his present farm, and began working at various occupations to obtain money with which to improve his land. Being a man of superior judgment and thrift he has continued from the day of his settling here to better his financial condition until now he is one of the well-to-do farmers of Lincoln County.  Jacob Reinbold was married June 16, 1888, to Louisa Buck, a native of Elsass, Germany.  Her father was David Buck, who died in Germany, and her mother is Barbara (Glas) Buck, now living in that country. Mrs Reinbold has two brothers, Michael and Charles Buck, living near Davenport, to which city Mrs Reinbold came with her brother’s wife in 1886. Mr Reinbold purchased his present farm in 1897, and brought his family to live here the following year. He owns eight hundred acres, five hundred acres of which are excellent agricultural land. He has a fine, modern, dwelling house, large barns and outbuildings, and his farm well improved and in a high state of cultivation. There is also a good school house on his land. His house, a two story structure, is situated on the Davenport-Fort Spokane road, and in one of the choicest locations in the vicinity. Both he and Mrs Reinbold are members of the Lutheran Church. Mr and Mrs Reinbold have eight children, Jacob P, Frederick W, Elizabeth C, Louise C, Simon M, Freda M and Charles G.” (History of Big Bend, 1904: page 365)

Shorpshire was given five days, suspended.” (Odessa Record: 7-30-1936)
