THE CLARINDA JOURNAL - Thu, Nov 23, 1911 - Augustus Nienstedt was born on Aug 15, 1836 at Gosler, Province of Hanover, Germany. He came to America with his parents at the age of 14, landing at New York, where he lived for 7 years. He then came west settling at Dubuque, Iowa. In 1862 he was married to Miss Wilhelmina Wunderlich. To this union was born 7 children, five of whom are now living.
Mr and Mrs Nienstedt moved to Howard county, Iowa in 1864 and resided there four years. They returned to Dubuque, where they lived until 1870 at which time they moved to Rudd, Iowa. At Rudd Mr Nienstedt was in business for 13 years, when he removed to Clarinda, Page county, Iowa.
Here Mr Nienstedt made his home till his death last Monday, a period of 29 years. He was engaged in the mercantile business in this city, having first been in partnership with M.R. Ansbach and then in business for himself on the east side of the square. In Jan 1884 he became connected with the Clarinda National Bank of which he was at one time the vice president and was a member of the board for directors at the time of his death.
He had not been well for some time but had been able to be up and about the preceding week, in fact, having been a caller in this office just last week. It was therefore a great shock both the relatives and friends when it became known Monday that he had been found dead in his bed.
He is survived by his widow, five children and one brother. The children were all present at the funeral and are: Mrs E.P. Arpin of Grand Rapids, WI; Mrs W.L. Pedersen of this city; Mrs H.L.
