The 1900 Federal census for Connecticut shows William Rieckel, age 35, blacksmith, living in Hartford with wife Amelia, daughters Frances, Edith, and Grace, and sister-in-law Elizabeth Buckley. William was born in February 1865 in Connecticut; both of his parents were born in Germany. His wife Amelia was born in June 1869 in Connecticut; both of her parents were born in Ireland. The 1900 census also shows that daughter Frances was born in August 1889 in Connecticut; Edith was born in February 1892 in Connecticut, and Grace was born in June 1895 in Connecticut. Youngest child Muriel was born in 1902.
The 1910 Federal census for Rhode Island shows William Rieckel, age 45, living in Providence. He was a foreman at an auto manufacturing company. Wife Amelia and daughters Frances, Edith, and Grace are still members of the household, and there is another daughter Muriel, age 7.
In 1920, William Rieckel, age 55 was living as a boarder in Wallingford, Connecticut; no other members of the family are mentioned. During this time his grand niece thinks he was working at a bicycle plant near Wallingford, and commuting to his family in Providence. She remembers a story about her mother getting $5 in the mail from her father who was away working. Later he worked at Brown and Sharpe as a foreman and machinist and retired from there after an injury, which may have led to his death in 1929.
