After the death of William's first wife, Bertha Bartelt Kienow in 1875, William met and married Henriette. She became the new mother for Albertine Kienow (Niner) and Herman Kienow, ages 4 and 1. In 1877, Albert was born, followed by Robert in 1879 and Anna (Schmidt) in 1881. In 1883 the family left for the U.S. in the spring with five children, ages 12 to 2. Henriette was also expecting her fourth child. This had to be a difficult trip for her. Somewhere between Germany and Faribault, 4 year old Robert disappears. Did he die on board ship? At this writing we have no idea what might have happened to him. Records in Faribault (Trinity Lutheran) tell us of the confirmation of the other children but nothing about Robert. Henriette gave birth to a daughter, Ida, on Oct. 1, 1883, about 5 months after arriving in Faribault.
