Morris Reinhaus (my great grandfather) left Germany and arrived with his entire family. His father (Dr. Marcus Reinhaus) and many siblings settled in Santa Ana, California.

Mother Julia passed away in Germany right before they all came to US. They started several retail businesses and are documented in the historical society of Santa Ana, Ca,. as one of the prominent Jewish Families. I believe Morris and his brother went to Idaho to begin a retail business.

I need to ask some questions to get more details.

Sophie Reinhaus and her sister moved to Idaho from Meridian Mississippi to marry. Sophie’s sister Ella married Bernard Haas, a prominent Weiser businessman.

Young Attorney Expected to Arrive With Charming Bride

Plans were today being made by M. Max Reinhaus, of West Fourth street, to greet his son Stanley Reinhaus who with his bride, is expected to arrive tomorrow after a leisurely motor honeymoon trip from Weiser, Idaho where the marriage was an event of early March.

Max Reinhaus is brother to Morris Reinhaus of Weiser Idaho.

Mrs. Reinhaus was Miss Selma Haas, daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Bernard Haas of Weiser and well known in this city where she has visited at the home of Miss Pauline Reinhaus of North Main street. It was during one of these visits that the romance between the charming daughter of Idaho and one of Santa Ana’s sons, blossomed and ripened.

The wedding was an event in Weiser social circles and among the large group of relatives and friends were Mr. and Mrs. Max Reinhaus of this city, parents of the bridegroom, who only recently saw the wedding of the daughter of their home, Miss Helen Reinhaus to Paul Goldman of Oakland.

Returning from the Weiser ceremony, Mrs. Reinhaus paused in Oakland for a visit of several weeks with Mr. and Mrs. Goldman. Mr. Reinhaus came directly southward to Santa Ana arriving yesterday.

Mr. and Mrs. Stanley Reinhaus will sojourn at the parental home until the completion of their own pretty bungalow in the Oakmont addition. Mr. Reinhaus is one of the promising young attorneys of the city, being a member of the firm of Reinhaus, Forgy and Scarborough in the First National bank building.
