| A colleague of Reim, and the officiant of the wedding, was Pastor William Streissguth. At the time, Streissguth was married to Marie Eva Brumder, a sister of George and Anna. Marie had immigrated to America several years earlier. After Marie died in childbirth (August 25, 1857), Streissguth married another Brumder sister, Magdalena. Both Streissguth and Reim served as president of the Wisconsin Synod in its early years. |
