He was born in Switzerland, his parents were killed in the war. He and his brother were adopted by a couple who had lost their 2 daughters in the war and they all moved to Switzerland. He emigrated to the US from Switzerland as a very young man.
I don't know if Reinert was his birth name or the surname of his adopted parents. all the census forms I have checked he stated he was born in Switzerland, so? Born in Germany was told to me by his daughter Thelma. He spoke English and German.
on the 1900 census he also had a 12 year old servant named Nora Adams in his household. She was from Tennessee
