Born: May 1821 in Germany / Prussia (there are conflicting birth dates)

Died: April 28, 1909 in Gasconade county, Missouri

Spouse - Wilhelmine Meske

Born: May 1834 in Germany / Prussia

Died: 1901 in Gasconade county, Missouri

Heinrich emigrated from Germany and settled in St. Louis where he married Wilhelmine Meske, from Germany, on April 27, 1856. 

According to the 1900 census they both came to America in 1854.

Sometime before 1870, the family moved to a farm in Gasconade County in central Missouri.

They had six children - Johann (John), Frederich (Fred), Alwine, Amelia (Emily), and Heinrich (Henry) Jr, and August.  All born in Missouri. There is death record for a Letty Biele in St. Louis who died at 9 months and 27 days of diphtheria on January 27, 1862. Likely another child of this family. 

In the 1880 census, the family is joined by Ernstine, wife of Johann, and their daughter Emilie.  August is no longer listed and presumably died.

The summary of the children is as follows:
