Lena Wack was born February 15, 1921 on a farm near Wellsburg, ND to Peter and Annie (Richter) Wack. She was raised on the farm and attended grade school in Wellsburg, ND through eighth grade. Being the oldest, she was needed to help on the family farm. On October 2, 1939, Lena was united in marriage to Nicholas Leintz at St. Anthony's Catholic Church in Selz, ND. They made their first home in Lincoln Valley, ND. Then they moved to a farm near Wellsburg before purchasing our current farm in the same area. Throughout the years they farmed the land and raised cattle. Nicholas died on April 27, 1959 and shortly after that Lena moved to Selz, ND with her girls.
