[Einck Family Tree_Ver 8.FTW] (This is an account of Theodore Einck by Lorraine (Einck) Schrandt in the Einck Book written in 1982.) Theodore Einck was born in Festina, Winneshiek County, Iowa. He went to a country school about a mile from home. In those days they were fortunate to attend four grades or less. He married Ann Mehs in the year of 1855 and they lived there entire life on the farm before retiring in 1920. The farm home was about three miles south of Festina. The farm is now owned and operated by one of his grandsons. They milked cows, raised hogs and crops. Anna also worked very hard at the sewing, gardening and canning. They did their own butchering of animals, curing of meat, rendering of lard, etc. They raised a family of two sons and six daughters. After 33 years they built a new home in Festina on a plot of land given to Anna by her foster father. Theodore brought a beautiful team of horses to town and a top buggy for transportation. He built a barn for the horses and a place to raise chickens. Lorraine was only seven years of age when Thoedore died so the story she is writing tells of things she remembered hearing from her dad and other relatives. Theodore had a great sense of humor and we used to enjoy playing with him after school when they stayed over night at their house. Theodore became ill in 1925 and expired July 12 very suddenly at the age of 63. Anna lived in Festina until April 27, 1943. She died rather suddenly when a strong wind swept her from the porch,
