General Notes: Husband - Caspar Ritzert

---

He was born in Germany, grew to maturity in his native land, and there married. In 1832 he came to the United States, accompanied by his wife and four children. They landed in Baltimore, after a voyage of forty-two days, and, after a short stay in that city, went to Chambersburg, Penn­sylvania, whence they moved to Butler county, the journey being made overland in wagons, camping at night in the forest along the road. He pur­chased a tract of wild land in what is now Oakland township, erected a log cabin and set about clearing off the primitive forest. He and his wife were the parents of seven sons and five daughters, and the whole family were members of St. Peter's Catholic church, at Butler.
