Reinhold and Dorris
a memoir of two lives in nebraska
with pictures and stories
As you may have heard, Reinhold Marxhausen passed peacefully away in Seward Nebraska during Easter Vigil on April 23, 2011 following an evening surrounded by his family.
Various blogs, websites and social media have posted information and images connected with Reinhold. This website, set up some
time ago but never completed, will be used to link to resources already online, and to post unique resources and information. Among these resources
are 16mm film footage of Reinhold and his family dating back as far as 1933 and including his service in the Phillipines in WW II.

Feature Films
These films were funded by Banker's Life Nebraska (now Ameritas) and donated to
NETCHE for distribution to member organizations.
These films were converted to DVD for a special showing previous to Reinhold's passing,
and the Marxhausen family is making them viewable as Flash movies from our site.
They may not be reproduced, copied or converted. NOTE: Thanks to the awesome free Flowplayer video player,
these can now be viewed with full controls over playback.
Additional Video
These are from a variety of sources, in some cases converted from film to VHS to digital.
Document Archive
Reinhold and Dorris generated a tremendous volume of correspondence, documents, signs and cards, and more,
filling file cabinets
and covering walls. The Marxhausen family has been processing this material, filing it, and digitally
scanning it for archival purposes. Because we can't at present know how far our family will get in
organizing and curating these materials, at a minimum we want to make the raw scans available on line
for purposes of research. Not all file or directory names are thoroughly descriptive at present. All these materials are copyrighted by the Marxhausen estate
and may not be published or re-used without written permission from the family or the estate. That
said, you are welcome to read these.
