LEROY AND LAURA RIECKEN

It was in the spring of 1947 when Leroy Riecken bought eighty acres of bottomland near Wann for $100 an acre. With a team of horses and a 1036 John Deere tractor, we started farming. Our house was a two-room cabin and needed a lot of work. My husband, Leroy, was born near Elkhorn to Julius Riecken and Ella Riecken in 1911. Julius Rieken, the son of Nickolaus and Kathrine Rieken, was born in 1871. They traveled up the Iowa side of the Missouri River and crossed where Dodge Street, Omaha is now. Ella Rieken was born in Germany in 1875. She traveled to America alone as a young girl. She married Julius Rieken in 1895. They raised three children.

I (Laura) Riecken was born near Elkhorn in 1913. My father, Fred Paasch, also came to America from Germany. My mother, Anna Villwok Paasch, was born on a farm southeast of Elkhorn in 1886. This farm is still in the family. They raised nine children. Their home was destroyed by the tornado of 1913, six months before I was born.

Leroy and I were married in 1936 and lived in Douglas County, until we bought our farm near Wann. Our son, Mervin, was born in 1938, our daughter in 1945, and our son, Harlan, in 1950.

Besides farming, we had a herd of dairy cows and milked by hand. In 1958, we got our first milking machine. It was a common sight to see farmers helping each other with the threshing or putting up hay. In 1952, our youngest son, Harlan, was taken seriously ill with meningitis, and in 1953, my husband, Leroy, was hospitalized for several months. How thankful we were for our neighbors! They all pitched in and helped with the crops and farm work.

For recreation we enjoyed playing cards with the neighbors. Hunting was always a popular sport for our family. Now we enjoy softball and baseball games, as most of the children and grandchildren play. I have always enjoyed gardening and canning.

We quit farming in 1973 but still live on the place. Our sons are farming the land. Submitted by Mrs. Leroy Riecken

I believe that my Riecken roots are from Preetz, near Kiel. My great grandfather left between 1857 and 1860. He sailed along the African coast on a merchant ship before he came to the states. He was named Heinrich, or possibly Henrich Willhem. I do not know much more than that

----- Original Message -----
From: "PauseliusPreetz" PauseliusPreetz@t-online.de
Subject: Heinrich Riecken Preetz
Dear Mr Riecken,
I am the head of the Preetz town archives. I got your e-mail on Monday 17th February 2003.
In the census of 1860 I found the name "Wilhelm Riecken" without Heinrich. His age was 21, he was born in St. Thomas in the West Indies, his profession was engineer, he was a member of the protestant church and lived in house number 394 in the street named "Kronsburg" as lodger of Mr Först.
There are no hints about his immigration or emigration in other files. So it could be, that he has left Preetz after 1860 and went to the States. Because of the fact, that Preetz has become a town in 1871, there are no files to be found in my archive before this special year. All files before 1871 only can be found in the archive of the Preetz convent. If you want to ask there for your ancestor, you have to write to
An das Adelige Kloster Preetz
Klosterhof 9
24211 Preetz
I am sorry that I couldn´t help you any further, but I do not know, if this Wilhelm Riecken is your ancestor.
Yours truly
P. Pauselius
