Henry Falke, a well-known and successful implement and automobile dealer of Remsen, this county, and owner of the Falke Opera House in that
city, was born in Hanover, Germany, on April 20, 1870, the son of William and Doretha Falke, also natives of Germany, who were married there
and continued to live in the land of their nativity until 1881, when they decided to come to America, where they might obtain a home for
themselves and their family. On landing in the United States, they located in Christian County, Illinois, and there resided until 1884,
William Falke renting land and engaging in farming for three years, at the end of which time he came to Iowa and located in Henry township, this county, where he purchased one hundred and sixty acres of land, to which he later added until he became the owner of eight hundred acres,
which he developed and improved and there engaged in general farming and stock raising until he retired from the activities of farm life and
moved to Remsen.

To him and his wife, two children were born, Henry and Mrs Augusta Steffen, to the latter of whom two children were born, Dora and Mrs.

Mr and Mrs Falke ever have taken an active interest in the social and religious life of the community and are held in the highest regard and esteem by all.

Henry Falke was about eleven years of age when he came to this country with his parents and his schooling was received in the schools of his native land, as well as in the schools of Illinois and in Henry township, this county. He grew to manhood on the home farm, as a lad assisting his father with the work on the farm, and there he remained until 1894. After his marriage, he began farming for himself on one of his father's farms and there remained until 1904, when he moved to Remsen. In 1905 he bought the implement stock of T. P.

Dietering, after which the business was conducted under the firm name of Falke & Dietering. Later Mr Dietering sold to T. P. Scott and the firm became Falke & Scott; still later becoming Falke & Homan, and was thus continued until 1914, when Mr Falke became the sole owner and has since conducted the business alone.
