1. JACOB RINEHART/REINHART was born in France/Germany, and died Aft. 1857. He married BARBARA Abt.
1837. She was born 1817 in Bavaria/France, and died Aft. 1880.

Notes for JACOB RINEHART/REINHART:

see notes on last name for Barbara.

Notes for BARBARA:

I have spelled the name Rinehart since that is how Barabara spells it in the 1860 census. Barbara had her last
child Nicholas in 1858 so her husband must have died between 1857 and 1860. Her son Michael was farming the
land they lived on at the age of 19, and his older brother John was a boot and shoemaker. Barbara lists her place
of birth as France.

By 1870 Barbara was not listed as head of household but the property must still be in her name as that is how it
shows on the census line. Barbara and her two youngest, Anne and Nicholas are living with Michael (head) and
his wife Bridget. This year Barbara says she was born in Bavaria. Surname still spelled Rinehart

Barbara in 1880, p13 Spencer Township, Jennings Co. living with Lizzie Oliger, her daughter. Barbara says her
father was born in France, she and her mother were born in Bavaria. Lizzie is a widow already and she says her
father's birthplace was France. In 1880 Michael says his parents are from France. Since there is no 1890 census I
have not pinned down a date of death for Barbara.

Louis was living at home with his father on 127 Broadway and working as a brakeman on the RR in 1910.
2 years later he would marry Mary Quinn, whose father John worked as a RR car inspector and brother John
was also a brakeman.

Louis M Rinehart is living at 121 West Brown St. in Seymour in the 1920 census

Marriage Notes for LOUIS REINHART and MARY QUINN:
I don't know why they went to Louisville to get married. Mary was of legal age at 20, Louis was 13 years her
senior, perhaps her family was not happy about that. After receiving the marriage register I saw that the
witnesses were Leo and Mary Scannell. Leo lived in Louisville and was a railroad engineer, so it seems that
Leo and Louis worked together.
