W.H. RHINEBERGER, carpenter and builder, Beardstown; was 
born in Marietta, O., June 10, 1844. His father was born in 
New York State, June 12, 1816; was raised in Wheeling, W. 
Va., and has been a resident of this county since 1846; he 
is a carpenter by trade, and is now engaged as a contractor 
and builder in Ashland, this county. He has been twice 
married; his first wife, Julia Dunham, whom he married in 
Virginia, died in Marietta, O., leaving three sons of whom 
W.H. is the youngest; his second wife, Mrs. Martha Morrow, 
whom he married in Beardstown, has borne him five children. 
The subject of this sketch came to Beardstown in 1846, with 
his father and grandfather, who settled on the land where 
the Central Hotel now stands. June 28, 1861, he enlisted in 
the Twenty-first Illinois Volunteer Infantry, of which 
Grant was colonel, and served three years, participating in 
the engagements at Fredericktown, Mo., Resaca, Stone River, 
and Chickamauga. He received a flesh wound in the neck at 
Kingston, Ga., May 19, 1864, and on July 9, that year, was 
mustered out at Chattanooga, Tenn. After his return from 
the war, he learned the carpenter's trade with his father, 
and in 1867 went to Linn County, Kan., where he owned a 
farm, and worked at his trade for eight years. He returned 
to Beardstown in 1875, where he has since been a contractor 
and builder, employing from two to ten men on his 
contracts. He has been twice married; May 29, 1867, he 
married Nannie Richards, of this county, who died May 13, 
1879, leaving four children, of whom two daughters are 
living. June 7, 1882, he married Delia Clark.
