Mr. Tienken was born in Avon township, this county, July 15, 1870, and is a son of Henry and Meda Tienken, whose marriage was solemnized in the state of New York and who thence came to Oakland county, Michigan, and settled in Avon township, in the '60s. Henry Tienken, the father, was long numbered among the representative farmers of Avon township, where he passed the remainder of his life and here he died when about seventy-five years of age, his wife likewise having died in that township at the age of seventy-two. Of their six children four are living. William Tienken early gained a full share of experience in connection with the work of the home farm, and his public school advantages included those of the Rochester high school. In his independent activities he was engaged in the hardware and plumbing business at Rochester about nineteen years, and he then sold the hardware department of his business, to give his attention exclusively to plumbing and heating business, of which he is now the leading exponent in Rochester, with status as one of the progressive and public spirited citizens and business men of this favored section of his native county. He is a member of the board of directors of the Rochester Savings Bank, and he and his wife hold membership in the Congregational church. In the Masonic fraternity he has received the thirty-second degree, his York Rite affiliations being with Rochester Lodge No. 5, F. & A. M., and Rochester Chapter No. 137, R. A. M. His Masonic alliances have been further extended to include his membership in Moslem Temple of the Mystic Shrine by way of Commandery, in the city of Detroit. His wife, whose maiden name was Minnie Garling, was born in Orion township, Oakland county. The one child of this union is a daughter, June Winifred, born in the year 1916. Mr. Tienken takes loyal interest in all that touches the welfare of his home community and is an active member of the Rochester Board of Commerce.
