Genealogical & Biographical Annals of
Northumberland County by J L Floyd, page 788
Michael Reitz, the other son of George Reitz (the pioneer in
Northumberland county of this name) mentioned, was born in January,
1757, and owned a place of 125 acres in Washington township (where
Luther Rebuck now lives) where he died Dec. 17, 1825. His wife, whose
maiden name was Elizabeth Schnock, was a native of Berks county, Pa.,
born about 1766, and made the trip to Northumberland county on
horseback. She died Dec. 18, 1853, and she and her husband are buried
at Himmel's Church, of which they were pioneer members, belonging to the
Lutheran congregation. All the family were active in the official work
of this church, in which Michael Reitz held all the offices, and in
1818, when the old stone church was erected, he acted as building
master. He was an all-around useful and prominent member of his
community, and respected accordingly. His children were: Michael lived
in Jackson (now Washington) township; George settled at Red Bank, Pa.;
John settled at Red Bank, Pa.; Jonas lived in Washington township (where
William Rebuck now lives); William settled at Red Bank, Pa.; Peter lived
at Richfield, Pa.; Daniel is mentioned later; Bevvy married Johan Georg
Reed; Christina married Michael Hetrich. |
