The Rest of the Story:  
Johannes Tuininga was an early settler in Pine Creek in 1853; he was from Holland.

Henry M. Rice was a Democrat who advocated for Minnesota statehood when he served the Minnesota Territory as a representative in Washington, DC.  He was a U.S. Senator from the State of Minnesota from 1858 to 1863.  In 1865, he ran for governor, but lost.
