Most of their children were born in Columbia, Missouri, but the family relocated to Los Angeles, California by 1930. Helen Breeden (Hedrick) Rieger (1903-1982), one of their daughters, married Wray Montgomery Rieger (1902-1975) of Kirksville, Missouri. Both Helen and Wray lived in Kirksville. Wray’s father was James Rieger (1870-1951), who was a decorated World War I veteran. The Missouri National Guard Armory in Kirksville is named after James Rieger.
