Henry emigrated from Germany and settled in St. Louis where he married Mary Catharina, from Germany on February 29, 1848 in St. Louis..


The first two children were born in 1852 and 1853 in Missouri. The remaining children starting in 1856 were born in Minnesota according to the census record on 1870. There is a Henry Biele listed in the Civil War draft records who lived in St. Louis in 1863. It is unclear whether this is the same Henry or not.


They had six children - Johann (John), Frederich (Fred), Alwine, Emielia (Emily), and Heinrich (Henry) Jr, and August. All born in Missouri.


In the 1880 census, the family is joined by Ernstine, wife of Johann, and their daughter Emilie. August is no longer listed and presumably died.
