General Notes: Husband - Martin J. Reiber, Sr.


He was one of the settlers of 1839, of Summit township, Butler County, Pennsylvania.

He was born in Goeningen, Wurtemburg, Germany, and was a dealer in seeds, flowers and fruit trees in his native land. He emigrated to New York City in 1832, where he followed the occupation of a market gardener and importer of seeds, bulbs and flowers. From New York he came to Butler County, Pennsylvania, and purchased what was later known as the Reiber Hotel, in Summit township, whence he removed later to the borough of Butler. He was one of the charter members of St. Mark's Lutheran church, of Butler, and was an elder in that organization. He also served in the borough council at one time.

He emigrated to the shores of America in 1832, the voyage taking three months, followed the florist's trade in the city of New York, and was also engaged in market gardening. In 1837 he came to Butler County, Pennsylvania, and there became proprietor of the Reiber Hotel in Summit township. About 1856 he removed to the borough of Butler, and there his death occurred. He served as a member of the city council of Butler, was a charter member of St. Mark's Lutheran Church, assisted in building it and was one of its elders. Politically he was a Democrat.
