General Notes: Husband - Jacob Reiger

---

In 1839 he emigrated to the United States with his family and bought a farm in Clearfield township, Butler County, Pennsylvania. Not long after his arrival in America he took a trip through the south, intending to purchase a plantation there, but he contracted yellow fever, and while lying ill of this, some unscrupulous person stole the eight thousand dollars in gold which he brought with him from Europe. In Europe he and his family were people of great wealth, and his reason for coming to America was that he did not want his five sons to enter the army. They were all over six feet in height, and very powerful. He and two of his sons went to California during the excitement of 1849.
He died on his farm in Pennsylvania at the age of seventy-three years.
