Former Buckley Resident Dies in Michigan
Reinhardt Steinman, 57, former resident of Buckley, died on Tuesday, June 2 in
a hospital in Dowagiac, Mich. He had suffered a stroke last fall and had been
in failing health since. Funeral services will be held in Dowagiac on Friday,
with burial there.
Born in Buckley, May 19, 1896, he was the son of Ed and Louisa Krumwiede Steinman.
He was confirmed in St. John's Lutheran Church in Buckley. His marriage was to
Anna Bartell in Buckley on December 22, 1917 [marriage record says 11 Dec 1917].
The couple moved to Michigan in 1920, where he was employed in factories. He
was a veteran of World War II, serving overseas.
Surviving are the widow; three daughters, Mrs. Jim Lieber and Mrs. Larry Stoops,
both of Dowagiac, and Mrs. David Thornton of South Bend, Ind.; a sister, Mrs.
Barney Bartell of South Bend [this identification of Edna Steinmann Bartell as
Reinhard's sister is suspect, though it is true that Ed Steinmann raised her
there is no evidence so far that she is his daughter]; and four grandchildren.
He was preceded in death by his parents and a brother, Alvin Steinman. Reinhard
STEINMANN and Anna BARTELL were married on 15 Dec 1917.53,292 The church
record reads:"15 Dec: Reinhard Steinmann to Anna Bartell. Witnesses: Ossie
Sinns and Bertha Sinns." County marriage record #13399. "Reinhard Steinmann
to Anna Bartell b. 5 May 1900 in Flatville, daughter of Alma Bartell." Note:
she is described as the daughter of Alma Bartell, not of Alma and John Bartell.
We had shown a date of 11 Dec. in our records, but the church record is very
clear. Anna BARTELL (daughter of John BARTELL and
Alma WEERTS) was born on 5 May 1900 in Flatville, Champaign County, Illinois.315 She died before 2000.
