Notizen
MARTIN REIBER was born in the same town as his father, and learned the florist business with the latter. He came with his parents to New York, and thence to Butler, where he was married, in 1846, to Mary, daughter of Isaac and Mary YETTER of this borough. He at once purchased the old tavern which stood on the site of the Hotel Lowry, which he conducted until his removal to Millerstown, where he embarked in the mercantile business and carried it on some five years. Returning to Butler he erected the brick store still standing on the northwest corner of Main and Jefferson streets, and establishing the firm of Reiber & Yetter, began dealing in general merchandise. In 1859 he sold out his interest in the store and went into the foundry business, on Washington street, in partnership with H.J. KLINGLER. During this time he also operated a distillery. In 1875 he engaged in the grocery business under the firm name of Mr. Reiber & Son, and in 1880 removed to the George Reiber block. He died in 1882; his widow resides in the old homestead. To Martin and Mary REIBER were born the following children: Ferdinand; Lena; Albert; Martin H.; Emma, [p. 754] who married Charles F. HOSFORD of Wheeling, West Virginia; Howard; Aaron E., and Cora, deceased. Mr. REIBER was a charter member of St. Mark's Lutheran church, and was connected with the I.O.O.F. Politically, he was a Whig in early days and afterwards a Republican. He was one of the charter members of the Bald Ridge Oil Company, and was a successful, enterprising and progressive business man.
