Reinicker - This never was a real settlement, and it never had a post office. It did appear on maps dated in 1890 and also in a 1910 atlas. This was actually a siding on the Illinois Central Railroad, where livestock and grain were loaded. Occasionally a settler would disembark here, too.

Edmund Seiser, of Webster City, related to me that when he came to the area on the train, he shipped his furniture on the train and took it off at Reinicker, the only stop between Blairsburg and Webster City.

Prior to 1896 the siding, established by the railroad on George H. Reinicker's land, was named Druid Siding. After 1896 the name was changed to Reinicker. Present day Stonega is located about a mile west on the railroad tracks.
