History of Lee County, Iowa (Page 145)
"February 20, 1830, and was a son of John Tieke. When a young man of about sixteen or eighteen years he bade adieu to the father- land and sailed for the United States, with New Orleans as his destination. After landing at the Crescent city he made his way northward, settling at Cincinnati, Ohio, where he followed the cigar-maker's trade, which he had previously learned in his native land. He was also employed in that capacity at Indianapolis, Indiana, for
several years and in 1853 crossed the Mississippi into Iowa, becoming a resident of Lee county, where his remaining days were passed. He here worked at his trade in the employ of others for a time, during which he carefully saved his earnings until his industry afid economy had made his capital sufficient to enable him to embark in business on his own account. He then opened a cigar and tobacco establishment and soon built up a good trade, which he successfully managed and controlled until 1872, when he retired from active business with a handsome competence that enabled him to spend his remaining days in the enjoyment of well earned rest."

"On the 24th of October, 1858, Mr. Tieke was united in marriage to Miss Sophia Schardelman, of Keokuk, who still survives, her home being at No. 1012 Blondeau street. They traveled life's journey happily together for almost a half century and were then separated by the death of Mr. Tieke on the 2nd of March, 1907. He was a republican in his political views and was active in public affairs, cooperating in many movements that related to the general good. He served as councilman for several years and for ten years was path commissioner. Fraternally he was a Mason and an Odd Fellow. He joined the latter organization on the 23nd of November, 1852, and was presented with a medal on the completion of fifty years' connection therewith. He was active in the building of the Odd Fellows' temple in Keokuk and did everything in his power to further the interests of the order. In all things he was an honest, upright man, whose genuine worth commended him to the confidence and high regard of all with whom he came in contact."
