General Notes: Husband - George Reiber


He was reared in his native land, and in 1834 immigrated to New York, where he joined his father and brother Martin, who had preceded him to the New World. He engaged in the hotel business, and also followed the occupation of a market gardener. In 1839 he came to Butler County, Pennsylvania, and settled in Summit township, where he erected a saw mill. In 1846 he purchased a farm at Hannahstown, removed to Millerstown in 1848, and kept a general store in that borough for several years. In 1856 he purchased a grist mill and 137 acres of the Clymer tract, on the northeastern limits of Butler, and for more than thirty-five years he successfully conducted the milling business. He remodeled and improved the property several times, keeping it a comparatively new structure, and installing a full roller process, besides the original buhr system. He also operated a distillery from 1865 to 1873.
He was a Republican in political matters, and he and his wife were members of the German Lutheran church.
