| Johann Leonard Rith, Sr Birth: 1691 - Rheinland-Pfalz, Germany Death: 2 Feb 1747 (aged 55–56) - Berks County, Pennsylvania, USA Burial: Reeds Cemetery, Stouchsburg, Berks County, Pennsylvania, USA Memorial ID: 30149445 An old tombstone, translated from German reads: Here lies buried Johann Leonard RITH, born 1691 and died 1747. He had with his wife Annalisa Catharina 8 children and 65 grandchildren. He was killed by the water wheel of his mill about Feb. 2, 1747in what was then Lancaster Co., PA, but is now Marion Twp., Berks Co. His will or Orphan's Court record is on file in Lancaster Co., PA. He was naturalized in Schoharie Co., NY in about 1715. An article on him and his family was published in the "Pennsylvania German", Vol. III & IV, pages 253-257. Children were named Johann Nicholas, Johann George, Johann Frederick, Leonhart, Jr., Peter, and Maria Margaretha, wife of Henrich ZELLER. He is reputed to have been one of the scouts for the Schoharie settlers before they came to the Tulpehocken. He is to have been in Tulpehocken, with others as early as 1714 - 1715 on this scouting trip. Blue Book of Schuylkill County: Who was who and Why, in Interior Eastern ... By Ella Zerbey Elliott RIETHS OR REEDS "Leonard Rieth, of the Tulpehocken, was one of three brothers, original settlers from the Schoharie, N. Y. He was the man about whom the "Tulpehocken Confusion," at Zion's or Rieth's church (Stouchsburg, Berks County), centered. (Map of Pioneer Homesteads, Part L Transactions of the Moravians.) Leonard Rieth died from injuries received in his mill, on the Tulpehocken creek, next to the site of the old church, where he was caught in the cog wheel. His death was attributed, by his enemies, toa direct visitation of Providence. He, however, had forsaken the Moravians before his death and was buried from Zion's Lutheran church (Stouchsburg) and interred in that cemetery. It is related of hiswife, that, when the church was locked, she crept in from an opening in the rear and opened a window admitting the opposing faction and that when the matter was to be arbitrated, she stood up in thechurch and bitterly denounced its opponents (the Orthodox Lutherans), when the so-called "Tulpehocken Confusion" ensued. (Part I, Tulpehocken Confusion.)"

Jim schuf die Find A Grave Website im Jahr 1995, weil er keine bestehende Website finden konnte, welche sein Hobby, den Besuch von Gräbern berühmter Persönlichkeiten, ermöglichte. Er fand, dass es viele tausend Leute auf der ganzen Welt geben würde, dieseine Interessen teilten. Was als seltsames Hobby begann, wurde zu einer Lebensaufgabe und Leidenschaft. Aufzubauen und zu sehen, wie Find A Grave über seine kühnsten Erwartungen wuchs, war für Jimungeheuer befriedigend. Jeden Tag gaben Mitwirkende aus der ganzen Welt neue Datensätze ein, tausende verwendeten die Website als Bildungs-Nachschlagewerk, lange verlorengegblaubte Verwandte wurdenwiedergefunden und Millionen von Menschenleben bleiben in guter Erinnerung. In welcher anderen Art von Arbeit hätte Jim einer der letzten lebenden Munchkins getroffen, vort einer Versammlung von Grab-Enthusiasten in einem Hollywood-Mausoleum gesprochen und Schätze erworben, wie seinen antiken Sarg-Schraubendreher (nur zum Einschrauben)? |
