Bio

Carl Johannes Rieck was born at Petersburg, Nebraska June 4, 1869. He departed this life Thursday evening, November 20, 1941, having reached the age of 52 years, 5 months, and 16 days. Although he had been suffering heart trouble for some time, his death came entirely as a shock. Carl, usually known as Charles Rieck, was the youngest of the seven children of Carl Rieck, Sr.. He was baptized by the Lutheran pastor of Lindsay on November 25, 1891, and was confirmed as an adult in the Cedar Rapids St. John's Congregation, during the pastorate of Rev. Weltner. The Riecks moved to Kansas in the early nineties. They came back to Boone County in 1895 and Charles Rieck has lived in the neighborhood ever since. On March 8, 1916, he was united in marriage with Johanna Hayden. To this union four children were born: Edward, Violet, Elmer and Merlin.
