• Notizen

  GEORGE REIBER was born in Wurtemburg, Germany, November 23, 1815, son of Martin J. and Catherine 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 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 the past thirty-eight years he has successfully conducted the milling business. He has remodeled and improved the property several times, until it is to-day a comparatively new structure, and contains a full roller process, besides the original buhr system. He also operated a distillery from 1865 to 1873. Mr. REIBER was married in 1842, to Mary RIGGER, a daughter of Jacob RIGGER, of Summit township. Eleven children were born to this union, as follows: Martin G.; Caroline, wife of William F. Miller, of Butler; Henry; Wilhelmina, wife of Rev. MIESER, of Detroit; Mary L.; Anna M.; Elizabeth; George L.; Edward; Ida [p. 755] F., and Agatha, deceased. Mrs. REIBER died on March 3, 1883. Henry, George L. and Edward REIBER, are prominently identified with the natural gas business, as the owners of the Independent Natural Gas Company, of Butler. Mr. REIBER is one of the oldest and best known citizens of the borough, where he has been engaged in business for nearly forty years. Inheriting a robust and vigorous constitution, his whole life has been marked by rigid industry, perserverance and energy. Coming to western Pennsylvania comparatively penniless, he has accumulated through the passing years a large estate, and ranks as one of the wealthiest men of Butler county. [3]
