Biography

(Johann) Michael Reitz, son of Michael, was born Aug. 12, 1785, in Washington township, and died July 28, 1874. He married Magdalena Eister (also spelled Eyster and Oyster), who was born Feb. 27, 1788, a member of an early family of the Mahantango valley, and died Oct. 12, 1846.

They owned and lived upon the farm which is now the property of Harvey Rothermel (who has a tract of about ninety-eight acres), and Michael Reitz built the dwelling which still stands on this place. Like the other members of the family he and his wife worshipped at Himmel's Church, being members of the Lutheran congregation, which be served in an official capacity. Their children were: Peter, who was a farmer in what is now Rockefeller township; Abraham, who lived in Little Mahanoy township; Christiana, who married Michael Hoch, after whose death she moved with her daughter Sarah, wife of Killian Snyder, and family to Missouri, during the seventies; David, who lived in Washington township; Leonard, who lived in Washington township; and Jonas.
