JOHN J. RIALE deceased, was born in 1816 and died in 1879.  
David and Halda (James) Riale were the parents of two 
children:  John and Elizabeth (deceased).  Mr. Riale was 
born and reared on the farm where he lived up to the time of 
his death, the homestead having been handed down from 
generation to generation.  His death was deeply felt, as he 
was possessed of a noble intellect and was greatly esteemed 
as a citizen.  He held many positions of trust during his 
life, prominent among which was clerk of the New Britain 
Baptist church, and was also a highly esteemed deacon.  He 
was for many years a director in the Doylestown National 
bank.  In 1859 he married Mrs. Lizzie C. Bray, daughter of 
James Coxie, of West Philadelphia.  No children were born to 
his couple.  In politics Mr. Riale was a conservative 
democrat.
