Jackson Sentinel, October 2, 1902.

DIED-

REITER- At his home in the First Ward, Thursday, Sept. 25, 1902. Manasses
Reiter, after a short illness, aged 91 years, 6 months and  12 days.
The deceased was born in Lancaster County, Penn., March 13, 1811. In 1838 he
went to Trumbull County, Ohio and settled on the land where later he founded
what is now the city of Niles-the city which is honored as being the birthplace
of the late president McKinley. Mr. Reiter also built the house in which Mr.
McKinley was born. In 1869 he moved to Maquoketa, Iowa, where he has since lived.
The deceased has been married three times, the first to Eliza White on July 4,
1831, the second , Clarissa Manley, Dec. 1, 1853, the third and last time to
Maria Jane Isbell, May 21, 1873, who survives him. Eighteen children were born,
of which to these unions three daughters and seven sons are now living, four in
Ohio, two in Montana, three in Iowa, and one in California.
Of these, one daughter, Mrs. J. S. Scholl of Monticello, Iowa, J. E. Reiter of
California and Frank Reiter, the youngest, of this city, are by the last
marriage. The wife survives him to mourn his death.
The deceased was an honest hard working man and had the respect of all who knew
him.
Notwithstanding his more than four score years and ten, he was active as many
men of seventy, and until a few days before his death, was on the streets every
day.
The funeral was held at the house Friday afternoon, Rev. Young of the Episcopal
Church officiating and remains interred in Mt. Hope Cemetery.
