Reineking, Louisa (6 March 1854 - *17 Feb. 1934) * Could be off

A message was received by relatives in Neillsville Saturday night stated that Mrs. S. F. Reineking, a former pioneer of Neillsville, had died that day at the home of her son, Arthur, at Harvey, North Dakota.

Louisa Klopf, daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Fred Klopf, was born in Brooklyn, N. Y., March 6, 1854.

When she was three years old, she came with her parents to Sheboygan, Wis., and there grew to womanhood.

In 1874 she was married to Simon F. Reineking, and soon after they came with her parents and family to Neillsville.

They established a home on the north side, where they lived until 1912. They then went west, living for a time in South Dakota, later going to Harvey, North Dakota, where they took up a claim. Mr. Reineking died there in 1916. Since then Mrs. Reineking has lived most of the time with her children.

During her residence here, she made many friends. She was cheerful under all circumstances and ready to lend a helping hand.

She is survived by three sons: Arthur, at Harvey, Albert and Gus in Wausau, Wis. A daughter died in infancy. She is survived also by four grandchildren, and two brothers William G. Klopf and Alfred C. Klopf, both of Neillsville.
