He was born in Hampshire, Kane County, Illinois, on October 8, 1872, the son of Henry and Margaretha (Schoch) Rinn, the former still living and a resident of Lodi. Mrs. Rinn died in Lodi. When he was a lad of twelve years his parents removed to Fergus Falls, Minnesota, and there he grew to manhood and engaged in farming pursuits for thirty years, which were years of successful achievement, bringing with them the reward of financial independence. Sixteen years ago he arrived in Lodi and soon thereafter purchased a tract of twenty acres three and a half miles southeast of the city, which was set to almonds. He immediately set about improving the farm by setting out an additional orchard and vineyard and planting some alfalfa. His first experience as a fruit buyer was with R. D. Biggs & Company of Lodi; then when T. H. Peppers entered the Lodi district, he became a buyer for them. The second year it became T. H. Peppers Company and then Mr. Peppers became one of the organizers of the American Fruit Growers. They deal exclusively in grapes and through his years of experience and application to business, Mr. Rinn has become thoroughly informed on viticulture and is among the best known and most successful buyers in the field. Mr. Rinn's marriage, January 9, 1902, united him with Miss Rosa Veit, a native of Germany, and they are the parents of three children, Robert, a student in the Stanford University; Paul and Ruth. Mr. Rinn is a member of Lodi Lodge No. 256, F. & A. M., of the Modern Woodmen, and of the Mokelumne Club. He has never had occasion to regret his determination to come to the west, and utilizing the opportunities here offered, has made a name and place for himself.
