Henry and Alta's oldest daughter, Lillian Rieber, married William Julius Schlusemeyer July 16, 1902. William was working as a bill collector as of the 1920 Census. He retired in 1944 after 30 years as a foreman at Ideal Pure Milk. They had three sons, William (b. 1904), Gilbert (b. 1905) and Raymond (b. March 25, 1913).
Son Ray served in the Pacific during World War II as did his cousin Jack Walsh, whose mother was Lillian's sister Ida. Jack later told a story of visiting Ray on Tinian Island in the Pacific. Ray told him something was special about an airplane there because security was so tight. Later, they knew why. The plane was the Enola Gay, which dropped the atomic bomb on Hiroshima, Japan, leading to the end of the war.
Lillian died Aug. 29, 1949 and is buried at Oak Hill Cemetery in Evansville. William lived another 22 years, dying April 22, 1971. He also is buried at Oak Hill.
