A Horstman bigamy scandal, in 1923, was believed by some Reinbeck, Iowa residents to involve August William Horstman. However, based on news accounts and a letter written in the mid 1970’s, there seems to be no question that the person involved in the scandal was Edward F. Horstman, not August William Horstman of Reinbeck, Iowa. See the documents shown under Edward F. Horstman b. 1872 for bigamy scandal details.
