General Notes: Husband - Martin Reiber


He learned the florist business with his father and came with his parents to New York, and thence to Butler, Pennsylvania. He married and 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 a brick store that stood 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 M. Reiber & Son, and in 1880 removed to the George Reiber block.
He 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.
