Rheinbold

The Rheinbolds of Baden Baden, Germany are a mysterious group. Leopold Rheinbold and Therisia nee unknown Rheinbold had five daughters and one son all born in Baden Baden, Germany. They were: Elizabeth Rheinbold , Sabina Rheinbold, Adelaide Rheinbold, Joanna Rheinbold , Felix Rheinbold, and Rosena Rheinbold.

Joseph and Elizabeth Rheinbold Droll came over here to the US with daughter Mary in 1853. Leopold probably died in Germany and then sometime before 1857 daughters Sabrina, Adelaide, Joanna, Rosena, son Felix, along with their mother Therisia, came over from Baden Baden as a group or maybe in small groups and settled in Marion Co, IL. Daughters Sabrina, Adelaide, and Joanna married shortly after arriving here and started raising families. Sabina married D.G. Landes, Adelaide married Andy Zick, and Joanna married Antony W. Young. Sabina and D.G. Landes had several children that died in infancy between the years 1858 and 1869. The children are listed below. Therisia died on May 12, 1866 and sometime shortly after 1869, DG and Sabina moved to Pleasant Hill, MO. Joining the Youngs and the Zicks who had moved there earlier.

Therisia is buried in Elmwood Cemetery, Centralia, IL with six of the D G Landes children but Leopold, DG, and Sabina are not there. Sabina and D.G. had buried six children in Centralia before moving on to Pleasant Hill. They lived in Pleasant Hill until the death of Sabina in 1889. After that D.G. made occasional trips to Centralia to visit friends and his sister in laws families. D.G. is not buried in Pleasant Hill with Sabina.

D.G. Landes worked as a liquor merchant first in Centralia and then later in Pleasant Hill, MO. During 1863 and 1864 there was a business card ad which ran in the local newspaper and read, "D.G. Landes - Railroad Exchange near corner of Locust and 1st North Streets Centralia." This ad ran for several months and then he changed it to, "D.G. Landes - Railroad Exchange, Oysters and Billiard Saloon, corner of 1st North and Locust street opposite the Post offices."

During these same years Andy Zick, father of Andy A. Zick, ran a business card ad which read, "Andy Zick - Federal Union Saloon, Chestnut Street, Centralia, opposite the Station." In 1863 there is an article in the paper describing how Andy Zick has expanded this saloon and added a restaurant. Then in 1864 there is another article describing how Andy has added a bowling alley to his place and you can still get some fine food there. "He keeps Oysters of the finest quality and serves them up raw, stewed, fried, or any way you want them. Call in and see if you don’t find it as we tell you." Andy Zick died on Feb 13, 1866 and his wife Theresia Zick died on April 30, 1867.

There is a monolith grave marker (broken in three pieces) in Elmwood Cemetery, Centralia, IL for the Landes family. On one face the monument says "Family Monument of D.G. Landes" and another face says "Theresia widow of Leopold Rheinbold - mother of Sabina Landes died May 12, 1866 aged 58 years, 11 months (implies that she was born Jun 12, 1807)". I assume that the other names on the monument are the Landes children who were:

They also had one child who lived to adulthood named Adolph D. Landes. He was born in 1860 in Marion Co, IL.

Joanna Rheinbold (b.1842, m. Anthony W Young, d. 1926). The Youngs had no children. A.W. worked as barber. Rosa Rheinbold was living with them in Pleasant Hill in 1870.

Felix Rheinbold (b.1845). Shows up in the Marion Co, IL 1860 census but not in the 1870 census and then disappears.

Rosena Rheinbold (b.1850). Shows up in the Marion Co., IL 1860 census and the Cass Co., MO, 1870 census and also disappears.
