Northern Grain company of this city. In 1906 he located at New Holstein
to take charge of an elevator there for the Cargill grain company.
Returning to Reedsville in 1908 Mr. Reinemann took over his father's
business which he has since operated and which was extended to Cato and
Grimms. A year ago this month he took his son, Clifford, into the business
and changing the firm name to Edward Reinemann & Son.
He was a member of the Reedsville Advancement association and the Chamber
of Commerce. He was vice-president of the Reedsville State bank and served
several terms on the village board.
