PHOTOS FROM THE SCHWIEN FAMILY
This is a collection of family pictures
and history, a joint effort of Schwien descendants, Julie Mathisen Nagle and
Brent Hemphill with a special "thank-you" to Leona Schwien Mathisen,
Irene Rock Zindel and Helen Jugenheimer Kay who tucked these pictures away for
years, not knowing what they would do with them. The collection is dedicated
to and for the benefit of the descendants of Asmus Hinrich Schwien and
Maria Dorothea Steen Schwien who immigrated to Scott County, Iowa in 1856,
from Schleswig-Holstein, Germany aboard the Elbe.
The earliest of these photos were taken around
1870 when Charles Schwien, father of Leona Mathisen Schwien, was 3 years
old and most were before 1888 when Gustav and Charles set out to seek their
fortune in O'Brien County Iowa. Most of these photos were put in albums around
that time and have remained there until this year of 2008.
Both Gus and Charley, as they were known, were
able to purchase farms of their own in O'Brien County. Charley's second farm
that he and his wife Laura Trojahn Schwien purchased in 1918 is still owned by
his grandchildren, Jerry Douglas Schwien and Janis Annette Schwien Schnabel.

Children of Christian and Maria Dorothea
Schwien:
1. Johanna, born
1854 in Schleswig-Holstein, Germany. It is known that she immigrated from
Germany and assumed she died before the above picture was taken although no
records of her death have been found, only the mention of four living children
in the article on Christian Schwien in 1882. Johanna would have been 16
years of age at the time of this picture.
2. Emma K.
[Reinhold], born in 1857 in Scott County, Iowa; died March 14, 1912 in
Davenport, Scott County, Iowa.
3. Rudolph, born
February 5, 1859 in Davenport, Scott County, Iowa; died May 31, 1934 in
Hickory Grove Township, Scott County, Iowa.

5. Charles Schwien,

O'Brien County, Iowa.
6. There was one
more child referenced in the article about Christian, "they had six
children, four living," so probably one child died in infancy or early
childhood.

A report on the death of Herman Reinhold from the Davenport
Republican, Tuesday, September 13, 1904:
HEART PARALYSIS PROBABLE CAUSE-
HERMAN
REINHOLD DROPS DEAD ON STREETS OF DAVENPORT-
Dead
Man Had Disposed of His Business and Was Planning to Go West for His Health
-
An inquest
will be held this afternoon at 2 o'clock over the remains of Herman Reinhold,
who dropped dead yesterday afternoon shortly after three o'clock while walking
on the west side of Harrison street between Second and Third streets.
Death, which is supposed to have been due to paralysis of the heart,
occurred almost instantly, the stricken man being assisted into the office of
the real estate dealers, Stueben & Bush and Louis Rieck, the tailor, at
224 Harrison street by Thos. Simonsen, who was near him when he fell.
Dr. Kemmerer arrived on the scene and was joined shortly by Dr. Matthey
but pronounced Mr. Reinhold to be dead. Life
had all probability become extinct before he fell to the walk.
The body was taken in charge by Constable Rumsey and was removed to the
home, 518 West Third street, the old Ohlshausen residence opposite Turner
hall. Mr. Reinhold was a
locksmith with his office at 313 Harrison street.
He had disposed of his business and expected to leave shortly for the
west for his health. He was 50
years and 6 months of age and had he lived until March 25, 1905, would have
been 51 years of age. He was born
at Borstel, near Hamburg, Germany, and came to this country while still a
young man. He was employed as an
ironsmith for some years at Walcott and Long Grove, coming to Davenport about
thirty-two years ago. He was a
promineut member of the Davenport Turnegemainde.
He was an expert locksmith and on Saturday last disposed of his
business to Martens & Willey. He
is survived by his wife and daughters, Misses Ella, Hilda and Frieda and Mrs.
Meta Emery of Davenport. One son,
Gustave, also remains to mourn his loss.
The date for the funeral had not been set last evening....
