Norman W. Ream,
of Harrisburg, Pennsylvania, after being elected president of the Ream Family
Association of America annually for many years, was in 1930 chosen president of
this association for life. He is a
descendant of Johann Eberhard Riehm, of
who emigrated to
emigrant. Besides
finding many records of American descendants, he succeeded in locating and
communicating with descendants of the Riehm family living in Leimen, Darmstadt,
and Berlin, Germany and secured from them valuable information and data of the
Riehm (Ream) families in Germany and especially of the Riehm family of Leimen
of which Johann Eberhard Riehm was a member. Mr. Norman Ream has very
generously furnished most of the history and records of the Ream families given
in the following genealogy. The Ream
family is related to the Stukey Family
through the marriages of two children of John Stukey 2); Anna Stukey who
married Sampson Ream, and Joseph Stukey who married Mary (Molly) Ream. Sampson and Mary were children of Abraham
Ream "The Miller", of
Noah Stukey 4) son of Joseph and Mary (Ream) Stukey married Mary‑Ann Clem, daughter of Elizabeth Grove and Henry Thomas Clem, thus bringing the Clem and Grove families into this group of families.

THE RIEHM
FAMILIES OF WINZINGEN, IN THE RHINE
Families named Riem (Riehm) have lived in Winzingen for many generations. This place is located in the Rhine Palatinate near Neustadt on the River Hardt and formerly belonged to the Electoral Palatinate (Kurpfelz).

231 RIEHM FAMILY
(5501) Dr. Friedrich Karl Edward Riehm, Doctor of Jurisprudence, member of the Evangelical Consistory Council at Breslau, and who was in 1934 and 1935, in charge of the parish register bookkeeping system at the chancery of the German Evangelical Church at Berlin, is a member of a Winzingen line of the Riehm family. In the spring of 1938 he sent the editor of this volume much information on the history of his branch of this family and also a number of records of the Leimen family which have supplemented the information sent by Johann Christoph Riehm on this family.
The material sent by Dr. Friedrich Riehm included a reprint of a genealogy of the Riehm family from "The Refugee Francois Roux, His Ancestors and Descendants" by Oscar Roux. Most of the data given below regarding the Winzingen family and the lineage of Dr. Friedrich Riehm has been gleaned from this reprint.
The Riem family of Winzingen appears for the first time in 1592, in the records of taxes collected for the annual tributes to the Turks who for many years threatened all Christiandom. The name Eberhard Riem appears in this for 1592, but not for 1584, giving support to the
supposition that he may have emigrated from Leimen between those dates. Also appearing in these tax lists are Quintin Riem in 1604 and 1610 and Nicolaus Riem in 1612, 1614 and 1622. The authoritative lineage of the Winzingen Riehms can be traced back to the supposed brothers Hans Theobald Riem ancestor of the so‑called "Black Line", and Hans Riem, born at Winzingen about 1607 and buried at Neustadt, October 21, 1674, a sexton and vineyard owner, and ancestor
of the so‑called White Line." A brief outline of the lineage of Dr. Friedrich Riehm who traces his descent on the Black Line follows:

The information
given below regarding the Rehm and Rem families of Southwest Germany, was
received from Conrad Rehm of
"The family "Rehm" or "Rem" existed in days long past. This name is widely known and originally could be attributed here and there to a man with the name, "Rem", an abbreviation of an old German name, perhaps "Rudmar" or "Rumbold", sometimes changed to "Rumpp", or "Rump", or altered into the form, "Remle", "Rumelin", or "Rommel."
"In the vicinity of the Monastary 'Zweifalten' there were according to its books, about 1450, in Guldstetten, a Hans and a Martin Rem, and in Upflamor an Adam, Conz, George, Hans, Michael and an Otmar Rem.
"The municipal book of Urach, of 1454, mentions at Kohlsteten, (5546) a Hans Rehn, also a (5547) Hans Rumpp and a (5548) Conrad Rem who had as a fief, the estate of "The Frowan" in Oppenhausen. According to the "Register of Rural Damage" of 1476, Hans Rumpp is the "Schuttheiss" or Burgomaster, of this place.
"In Ohnastetten in the year 1476 among seven people subject to taxation, (5549) Heintz Rem has a fortune of 37 pounds, and (5550) Conrad Rem a fortune of 66 pounds. These sums indicate that they were numbered among the middle class of those days.
"In Eningen in the year 1596 (5551) Melchior Rehm was married. He was a son of the late (5552) Jacob Rehm of that place.
235 RIEHM FAMILY
"As early as
1356 one (5553) Jacob Rem lived in
"The Rehm family of Pfullingen probably came from the nearby places of Kohlstetten and Ohnastetten. The first record of a Rem in Pfullingen, is of one (5555) George Rem whose name appears in the Turkish tax list of 1542 with a fortune of 110 florins. In 1545, he contributed for the same purpose, 21 "Kreuzer" and his servant, two "Kreuzer." Not until the beginning of the following century can several representatives of this family be found in the church book of this
place, namely two named George, a Hans and a Jacob. One of these Georgs and Hans are the ancestors of the Rehms living in Pfullingen at present. A son of Hans transplanted the family to Teutlingen. The Rehms were almost all vine dressers and have grown into a very large family."

Johann Christopher Riehm wrote that the research on the early generations was very difficult for the reason that the church books of the Reformed Parish of Leimen previous to the end of the 17th century were destroyed by fires and the devastations of the French in the war with Louis XIV. Of the church books which survived, the baptismal books commence in 1694, the marriage records in 1696, and the death

earlier records of the family it was necessary to search the General State
Archives at
According to the wine cellarage accounts of the above named German order, there lived in Leimen in 1509, a tanner named Eberhard Riem who had to pay cellar rent on a leasehold located at "The Creek" of six pennies and two chickens. His neighbors were Nicolaus Karge and Veners Claus.
This Eberhard
Riem evidently had a brother, Nicholas Riem, who was a monk and in the year
1490 lived in the Augustine Convent at
Since the 1490 record of the Augustinian monk, Nicholas Riem, is the earliest record we have in regard to the Ream family, we are giving it below in the original Latin as published in the above mentioned volume:
p. 74: "Infrascripti census habentur in civitate Heydelbergensi. Incipit libber continens census pecuniales fratrum heremitarium sancti Augustini domus in Heydelberg, conditus sub venerabili lectore, fratre Petro Hoenvissel, priore dicte domus Heydelbergensis, anno 1490 * * * *

p. 99: "Hentzusheim, Item I flor. martini ex parte fratris Nicolai Rim dat. domicellus Orwinus Wise."
According to the
Teutonic Order's monetary and rent register of the Cellarage at
In the
renovations of the financial registers of the Teutonic Order at the
Leimen Rents of 1576:
The widow of Endres Riem paid six pennies and two chickens on a field or farm, at "Der Bach" (The Creek); adjoining above were Jerg Heiselmann's heirs; below, Hans Heym.
(5559)
Nickhel Riem, the younger, and associates pay two shillings and one
(5560) Nickhel Riem and associates pay eighteen pennies on a garden between the "Sandhauser Weg" and the "Allmenth" (Folio 156.)

No Riem is mentioned in the entries for 1529 and 1532 in this record.
The financial
records of the Teutonic Order at
Endres Riem, the tanner, (1566), paid six pennies and two chickens on a property at
"Der Bach"; adjoining above, Veners Claussen; and below, the widow of Niclaus Kargen.
So he is probably the succeeding holder of the property of the tanner, Eberhard Riem, of 1509.
(5561) Nickel Riem, senior and junior, are mentioned in the 1600- 1602 as subject to paying rent on vineyards. One of the Nickel Riems, and apparently the older, was a shoemaker by profession, for in the Heidelberg Court Cellarage‑Wine Guild Renovation, of the year 1609
are to be found the following entries.

In the Heidelberg
Guild Register, of the Vintagers of 1673/74 appears a (5573) Daniel Rim,
citizen and keeper of the "Rebstock" inn, who had a daughter
christened "Barbara" June 21, 1674. The records of the Reformed
Parish of Heidelberg show the mother's name was Anna Margaretha and that the
godmother was Barbara, wife of the citizen and pinmaker (5574) Christoph
Keller. It is probable this Daniel Rim left
(Riem) moved from Heldelberg to Hornbach, near Zweibrucken
(Two Bridges) in the Rhine Palatinate, as there was a person of this name living there in 1691. It is said that
three sons of this Daniel Riem later
emigrated to
Another brother or close relative of the above Andreas Riem, was (5575) Hans Georg Riem who on July 8, 1675 entered the service of the Elector as a harness maker. (Karlsruhe State Archives, Copy Book 942, p. 1991.)
The following additional information gleaned from the old records will be of interest to descendants of these Riem families. On January 1, 1601, the administrators of the German Order's Cellarage at Heidelburg
RIEHM FAMILY 238
issued a document concerning the hereditary leases of the Order's vineyards at Leimen to various inhabitants of this village, among them being Nicklas Riem, the younger, lessor of half of a quarter vineyard at the "White Hill" and (5576) Nichlas Riem, the elder, who is mentioned twice as a tenant.
In the year 1609 in the descriptions of the boundaries of vineyards of the Heidelberg Court Cellerage, George and Peter Riem are mentioned as tenants.
(5577) Gorg Rim, (5578) Gorg Rihm, (5578a) Ulrich Rihm, (5579) Hans Ulrich Rihm and (5580) Georg Rihm, a tailor, are mentioned in a record of December 17,1626 which describes and lists the possessions of the Teutonic Order of Knights at Leimen, Heddesheim, and other places.
Norman W. Ream,
the president of the Ream Family Association
received a letter from Dr. Friedrich Riehm, of
(5581) "Johann Everhard Rihm was a son of (5581a) Hans Andreas Riem who was born in 1642 and died Feb. 19, 1719; a butcher at Leimen.
(5582) "Johann Andreas Riem (1642‑1719) was a son of Andreas Riem who is mentioned in Leimen from 1650 to 1657. I cannot be too sure of the ancestors of Johann Everhard Riem
prior to the Andreas Riem mentioned in 1650‑1657.
"From 1650 to 1663, (5583) Andres Riem, Jr., grandfather of Johann Everhard Riem, owned a garden at the cross at Leimen. A former owner of this garden was (5584) Nicol Riem,
but Nicol Riem was too old to have been the father of Andres Riem. I am inclined to believe that Georg Riem was a son of Nicol Riem and grandfather of Andres Riem.
"Georg Riem is mentioned in Leimen from 1609 to 1657 as the owner of a vineyard near the garden at the cross, which formerly belonged to Nicol Riem. So it is believed Georg was a son of Nicol and Andres a son of Georg.
"The great‑grandfather (of Andres Riem Jr.) was Andres Riem, nicknamed, "The Lower." He was the owner of the above mentioned property before Nicol Riem. Andres Riem was the owner of a vineyard near Stockenweg; Georg Riem was the owner of the same vineyard before Andres Riem, so it is believed that Georg Riem was the great‑great‑grandfather of Andres Riem
Jr. Andres Riem Sr. owned a farm at the "Hofreite." This farm was formerly owned by Everhart Reme (The Lower) in 1509 and it is believed that Andres Riem Sr. was a grandson of Everhart Reme of 1509."
239 RIEHM FAMILY
It will be
noticed that the above lineage is approximated by studying the records relating
to certain vineyards and farms which were owned generation after generation by
the Riehm family, but there is no proof that these properties descended in each
case from the father to son. Andreas Riem, of the 1650‑1657 records, was
evidently the grandfather of Eberhard Riehm, the emigrant to

house transaction of 120 florin due me in the near future is confiscat-

It is not known just when Eberhard Ream left Germany, but the parish records of Leimen show that he had two children baptized before coming to America, namely Johann Jacob Riehm on June 14, 1713, and Anna Catharine Riehm on January 19 1716. Eberhard's name is recorded for the last time in these church records when he was sponsor at the baptism of Johann Eberhard, a son of his brother, Mathias Riehm, which took place May 1, 1717. It is believed that Eberhard
and his father‑in‑law Jost Schwab, with their
families, left the vicinity of Leimen in the summer of 1717. It is also a
tradition that they were accompanied by a family named "Yuber" or
"Zuber" from Lingenthal and a family named "Herchheimer,"
from Landhausen, both towns of that neighborhood. These families were among those who in large
companies are known to have left the

Jost Schwab
(5713) Jost
Schwab, the father‑in‑law of Eberhard Ream, was born in Sinsheim in
1656 and died in
"Today, April 27, 1702, the following persons became citizens, having considered
well the duties of citizenship: Jost Schwab, 46 years old, his wife Anna Katharine
Schwab, 38 years old. Jost Schwab is a member of the Reformed Church and his
wife is a Lutheran; they are natives of Sinscheim at the Elseng, in the District of
Conrad, 13; Anna Elizabeth, 11 (later married Eberhard Ream); Anna Margaretha,
7; and Anna Magdalena, 7 (twins); Anna Maria, 5, and Katharine, 6 months."
After moving to
Leimen, Jost and his wife had a son, Johnannes Schwab, baptized on May 28, 1704
who died Dec 18, 1780 in Lancaster County, Pennsylvania, where his will is on
record; and also another son Hans Ulrich, who was baptized Oct. 21, 1707,
according to the records of the formerly Reformed Parish of Leimen. This Hans Ulrich is said to have changed his
name to Joseph and to have emigrated to

father of this family gradually acquired more land in this neighborhood. The old land records show that he was granted a patent on 420 acres in 1725; 389 acres on June 23, 1734 and 113 acres on Nov. 13, 1750.
On October 14,
1729, the General Assembly of the
RIEHM FAMILY 248
subjects of the Emperor, who had come to
at this time, was Eberhard Ream.
In 1742, (5716) Count Zinzendorf, the well know church leader, and sponsor of a union movement, while on a visit to Pennsylvania, preached at the home of Eberhard Ream near Muddy Creek and later advised the Moravians of Bethlehem to organize a mission at this settlement. (5716a) Jacob Lischy was sent there as an itinerant preacher and succeeded in extending the Moravian influence among these people, the majority of whom were of the Reformed Church. In 1745, a school and meeting house was built by the settlers on the farm of Henry Haller, Sr., for the use of the Moravian Brethren. It is said that Eberhard Ream was displeased that this building had not been erected on his land and that this started a disagreement between him and the Moravians which led to the latter being denied the use of this meeting house in the summer of 1748. There are many pages of information about this old quarrel in the archives of the Moravians in Bethlehem, Pennsylvania, but the following quotations will indicate how these Brethren felt about the Muddy Creek affair and Eberhard Ream: From the minutes of the Helper's Conference of March 7‑18, 1748: "Henry Haller and Biebighaus, today left for Muddy Creek. They took with them the following instructions to the Brethren at Muddy Creek:
"1. That they shall not enter into long‑drawn controversy about the schoolhouse at Muddy Creek, but if Tempelman and his people have a right to it, to let them have it. The same shall be their attitude if Lischy claims it, to surrender it to him.
2. As regards the old Riehm and his cohorts (Rotte) they were given this advise: To guard against him and his following as a factious spirit, and care for the welfare of their souls; for the greatest damage can arise, if one enters into the least contract with such people."
From a seven page letter of (5717) Bishop Cammerhoff, dated March 20, 1748, we read. "There is a man at Muddy Creek, named Eberhard Riehm, in whose house, if my memory serves me right, our dear Father (Zinzendorf) preached and of whom Lischy, when he was still at Muddy Creek, made much ado, because he had 700 acres of land and was best able to pay, while the rest of the brethren were poor people. He is a restless and puffed up (aufgeblasener) fellow. He got
the fantastic idea into his head, when the brethren first came to Muddy Creek that they should build a meeting house for them on his land. He had the idea that when the building was erected on his land, the Brethren would be under him and he would be the trustee and regent of the congregation, as the Brethren would live their by his grace. But we did not accept his offers and propositions. Hence he

became critical and sought to make out of his children a
gang (of whom four lived on his land in separate families, but in such a manner
that he had not given them any land, could chase them off, if he wanted to do
so). He told them that he had 700 acres
of land, while in
In the list of the members of the church at Muddy Creek in 1745 are the names of Eberhardt Riehm; Abraham Riehm and wife; and Jacob Riehm and wife. In a 1749 list these names appear:
Riehm, Nicholas, a son of Eberhard; Riehm, John Eberhard, ditto.
The Rev. John Waldschmidt was the pastor of the Reformed churches at Muddy Creek, Cocalico and neighboring congregations from 1752 to 1786 and left many records of baptisms, marriages and burials which include numerous records of the Ream family, most of which are given later in this volume.
When he was about
seventy‑two years old, Eberhard Ream made a partial distribution of his
lands, deeding to his sons Andrew, Jacob, John, Nicholas, and Mathias, 62 1/2
acres, 110 acres, 100 acres, 122 acres, and 100 acres respectively on February
15, 1759. In each case the consideration
was for five shillings and the natural love and affection which they beareth
for their said son." Eberhard
signed his name in German, while his wife Elizabeth, made her mark. These deeds were recorded at
It seems evident
that the other children also shared in this distribution of property for while
they did not have their deeds recorded, the two remaining sons, Abraham and
Tobias, later disposed of land received from their father February 15,
1759. For deeds connected with this
distribution of Eberhard Ream's estate, see Deed Books U. P., EE and X,
In 1760 Tobias
Ream laid out a plan of a town which he
called Zoar or Zohar, situated on a part of the land which he had received from
his father. The lots were 66 feet wide
by 297 feet deep and contained 72 perches each.
They were sold upon the ground rent plan. The yearly tax was $1.35 per lot, with the
curious exceptions that the corner lots were held of less value. These payments
were continued until 1880 when the lot owners purchased the ground rent titles
from the heirs of Frederick Ream in whom they were vested. Although Tobias Ream named this town Zoar, it
was more commonly called
"Reamstown." Even the
official reports sent from it during the Revolutionary War are dated from
Reamstown or
Soon after Reamstown was planned and more people began to locate there, it was determined to build a church and for this purpose on August 31, 1762, Andrew Ream, son of Eberhard, and Susanna, the
RIEHM FAMILY 250
wife of Andrew, deeded an acre of land to Jacob and Tobias Ream, in trust, "that is to say for all the Ream families in general and likewise for other good friends and neighbors in particular for a common grave yard and burying ground and also for the building of a Dutch Protestant Church, that is to say a first Calvinist Reforment and Luthern, but no other under what pretense or name, whatsoever." Here in this quiet old graveyard lie Eberhard Ream and his wife Elizabeth, their
resting places marked by beautifully carved old headstones, with these inscriptions:

(5718) REV. JOHN WALDSCHMID
1724-1789
From Fathers of the Reformed Church, Volume 11, pps. 88‑92,
Rev. Henry Harbaugh, D.D., Lancaster, 1857
John Waldschmid
was a native of the
Soon after their
arrival in
On the 14th of May, 1754, he was married, by the Rev. William Otterbein, to Mary Elizabeth, daughter of Christian Grub.
After Dr. Stoy ceased preaching at Tulpehocken, Mr. Waldschmid supplied that congregation two years, in connection with his charge, from 1756 to 1758. Some years later, he also preached,
for a time, to the congregation of
be so, it was neither the first nor the last time when persons saw faults in a minister, on which to build a justification of their own schemes. The long time during which this man of God labored successfully in the same charge, it seems to us, presents an argument, in favor of his efficiency, that far outweighs this incidental complaint.
Still, there was, at one time, also some dissatisfaction expressed by some in his own charge. In the Cotal proceedings of the year 1760, it is said: "In regard to the Rev. Mr. Waldschmid, it appears that his congregations are satisfied with his preaching; only the desire that he might be more diligent in family visitations, and more prudent in his
RIEHM FAMILY 256
general conduct." Tradition remembers him as a remarkably good natured, mild, and easy man. With all his goodness, and devotion to the ChurchCof which there is no doubtChe may have needed at times, the impulse of a special stimulus, to keep him moving with freshness,
ministerial dignity, and pastoral earnestness.
In the Record‑Book of the Cocalico Church, already referred to, we find the following touching entry, made by the hand of final affection; "God, the Almighty, took our dear father out of the world to Himself, into a blissful eternity, on the 14th of September, 1786, between nine and ten o'clock in the forenoon. On the 15th, in the afternoon, at two o'clock, we committed his remains to the grave. The Rev. Mr. Boos preached his funeral sermon, from Psalm xxiii, 23, 24. God grant that we may all come to where he is! Amen. The tombstone was erected October 6th, 1787; costs ,7 and 2 shillings."
A circumstance, in connection with his tombstone, happened, about six years later, which was thought very singular: and which is not only traditionally remembered in the neighborhood, but we find a record of it in the Church‑Book. On a Sunday, June 2nd, 1793, while a large congregation was assembled in the church, listening to the Word of God, and when the winds were quiet, the tombstone of the Rev. Mr. Waldschmid suddenly broke off at the top of the ground, and fell flat upon the tomb. "Many saw it," says the Record, "and all heard it fall." The wonder, in connection with this event, was vastly increased, in the minds of the people, by the fact that Mrs. Waldschmid, who was demented and had not spoken a word for years, began to speak again with others on that same day!
Mr. Waldschmid is
buried in the graveyard connected with the church now called Swamp (in early
times Cocalico), in
was the mother of the two Reverends Gring, who are still laboring in the ministry, in the German Reformed Church. On his tombstone is written:
"Hierruhet in Gott

Ehrw. Johannes Waldschmidt,
Geb. den 6 August, 1724.
Ins Predigtamt verordnet 1752.
Starb den 14 September, 1786.

States, they have Sen(MS torn) ed since the Indian claim was Extinguished to settle with their Families on such portions of land as they found to be unappropriated to any Individual and contagious to each other, so as they Might Enjoy the comfort and advantages resulting from Civilized Society and Religious worship, understanding however that the Existing law Affords
no Security or protection for the Improvements which your petitioners have made with much labour and at much Expense and Risk, having Designed to Settle with their families Dureing

(Referred February 20, 1801.)
The Senate,
and House of Representatives of the
The Petition
of the Subscribers, Setlers on the Publick land Between the Waters of
Muskingum, and
That your Petitioners Return their Humble thanks to your Honorable Body for your attention to their Petition at your last Session, in making an Act suplementary to the former Act, for setling the Publick Lands in this Territory, in which among other Advantages to Settlers is, dividing the Townships, (before durected to be sold in Quarter Townships) into half sections, and giving time for the Payment of a part of the Money; & Yet there is one Circumstance in that Law, which Militates forcibly against your Petitioners, especially the poor Industrious Setlers, and what we wish particularly to represent to your Honorable Body; and that is, that their small improvements made at a great expence, and Labour, emigrating so far thro' a Wilderness without inhabitants, and having their Provisions as well as families to Transport, and oftentimes hazarding their lives from the danger of the Savages, and have now formed considerable settlements, should still be exposed to a Publick Vendue to be outbid by an
289 RIEHM FAMILY
unfeeling Land‑Jobber or Speculator, who perhaps has been preying on the Vitals of his Country, until he has filled his pockets, by such we say, the poor honest and Industrious Citizen must submit to have his improvement bought over his head, and him either submit to become his Tenant, or quit his Country; Great numbers have already gone to accept the offers of the
British over the Lakes, and of the Spaniards over the Mississippi, and great numbers more are contemplating to go also, should their own Government which has such a vast Quantity of uncultlvated Lands, dispose of it in such a manner, and at such a rate, as puts it out of their power to procure any. Which in fact compels them to renounce their own Government the Govern‑
ment of their choice that very Government which many of them fought and Bled to procure, and establish, to go to people the Uncultivated wilds, of despotic Governments, and add strength and
population to
them.Cwe have
imigrated from the different states of the
advantage and lease it over their heads by an earlier Application,CThese Petitions we prefer to Congress, and trusting to the Justness, and Reasonableness of them; and a Just, enlightened and indulgent Legislature. We humbly hope they will grant us; And Your Petitioners as in Duty bound, shall ever pray. --------

"To the Honourable
the Senate and House of Representatives of the
The petition of the Inhabitants of the
That your petitioners Haveing Purchased and Settled on Land in Said County sold in the Town of Chilicothe by Virtue of the Laws of the United States Consider the Interest they are bound by said Laws to pay on the purchase money of said Land as a Burden that sits very heavy upon them and one they can but with the greatest difficulty bear. It is not customary for Purchasors of Land to pay Interest on the Purchase money until it has become due and the hardship of being obliged to do it in the present case will appear to be extraordinaarily great when it is considered that the Lands are in a very uncultivated and unproductive Condition and that the purchasers can do little more than support themselves upon them until the different instalments shall become dueCFor these and other obvious reasons your petitioners pray your Honours so to amend the Laws on the subject as to release those who have already purchased Lands from the payment of Interest and direct that the Lands remaining unsold may be bought without Interest being required on the pur- chase money until the different Instalments respectively become due.*******
"Your petitioners further beg leave to call your attention to the great necessity of encourageing Seminaries of Learning in this New Country and the propriety of Setting apart certain quantities of Land for that purpose the Proceeds of which shall be appropriated in that way.

RIEHM FAMILY 300
Abraham Ream's son Solomon, wrote of his father, "It affords me exquisite satisfaction to be able to write in such commendable terms and to testify to the excellent Christian character of my deceased father. Taken away from us by death when I was a child of only six years, I do not of course retain a very vivid recollection of him; but others who knew him personally speak of him as being a typical representative of the best manhood of his day. He was an earnest Christian, a kind husband, and a loving father. His religion was a type that always made him joyful and happy." In an answer to a letter written him by his cousin, Reuben R. Ream, there is a hint given us as to his contented spirit and happy disposition. In this reply he says:
"With regard to my happiness you must know that I am of rather a happy disposition under all circumstances. It is the proper conception we have of God, and His attributes not to think ourselves better than anyone else, nor worse than anyone. This, then will keep us in a strict line of duty to ourselves, to our neighbors, and thereby to God. *** It matters not much where we live or where we die, we can rest assured that we can lie down in peace to rise to meet in a happier and better world. *** The only true way to happiness is to walk in the paths of virtue and honesty, and we may rest assured we will never regret the course. *** Not the combined wealth of words is able to eradicate the canker speck of guilt.
"May peace spread her wings o'er thy mind."
"Among father's writings is also a paper on 'Heaven a Place of rest; or, it is Well.' This is a beautiful and eloquent description of the glories of heaven, and the bliss and happiness to be there enjoyed by the finally faithful."
Abraham Ream was a member of the St. Matthew's Congregation of the Reformed Church near Sugar Grove, Ohio and was active as an officer of this church. It is observed that in those days the subscriptions for the pastor's salaries ranged for the most part from twenty-five cents up to two dollars. In two instances only did the amounts subscribed, reach as much as five dollars. One of these was Abraham's, the other was that of Henry Anes Hensley. Abraham Ream also held office as township clerk and Justice of the Peace. When twenty‑one years old he was elected first lieutenant of the Black Hawks Braves of the First Rifle Regiment, First Brigade, Seventh Division, Ohio Militia.
When only sixteen years of age, Abraham Ream, worked for five months for the Rev. John Wagonhals and was paid at the rate of ten dollars per month. For work done at the mill in 1840, he received thirty dollars for five month's work. In 1848 he bought thirteen bushels of cloverseed, paying at the rate of three dollars and twenty cents per bushel; and two tons of hay at four dollars per ton. Abraham Ream owned and lived on the farm, located one half mile north of the Ream's
mill, which he purchased from Daniel Wilson, April 3, 1848. This farm was formerly owned by George W. Brooks, whose wife, Rosan, was a daughter of Absalom Ream.

(7558) Vinnie Ream 5) b. at Madison, Wisconsin, 9‑25-1847, and educated in the public schools and at Christian College in Missouri. When a very young woman her ability as a sculptress
came to the attention of an older artist and she was encouraged to study art in Washington, D. C.
President Lincoln sat as a model for her and the bust which she made of him attracted much favorable attention on account of its great likeness to him. In 1866, Congress by a joint resolution commissioned her to make a life sized statue of Abraham Lincoln in marble. She went to Italy with her parents to execute this commission and was fortunate in securing a beautiful block of pure white Carrara marble for the statue. The finished work was unveiled in the Capitol in Washington, January 25, 1871, with dignified and impressive ceremonies and in the presence of many of the most notable persons in the United States, among whom were many who had been friends and acquaintances of the martyred president. The statue met with immediate acclamation not only as a likeness of Abraham
Lincoln, but also as a work of art. It represents him standing with the Emancipation Proclamation in his hands. The demeanor is grave and the expression of the face, thoughtful and benign. This statue stands today in a rotunda of the Capitol where it is admired daily by the hundreds of Americans who make pilgrimages to Washington. Another well‑known statue by Vinnie Ream is that of Admiral David Glasgow Farragut
(1801‑1870), executed in bronze from the propeller of his flagship, the "Hartford." This stands in beautiful Farragut Square, a short distance northwest of the White House. Other works by this artist are statues of "Miriam", "The West" "Sappho", "The Spirit of the Carnival", also a bust in marble of Mayor Powell, now in the City Hall at Brooklyn, New York; and a bust of Abraham Lincoln for Cornell University. She modeled from life portrait busts or medallions of General George V. McClellan, Thaddeus Stevens, John Sherman, Ezra Cornell,

(7983) TOBIAS REAM, 1718‑1775
There was another Tobias Ream, living in Lancaster
County, Pennsylvania from 1741 to 1775 who is not to be confused with Tobias
the son of Eberhard Ream. Dr. Friedrich
Riehm, of Berlin, has sent us copies of records from Germany regarding this
second Tobias;
From the archives of the Evangelic
brethren at Herrnhut, Germany:CTobias Riem, born September 27, 1718 in the Electoral
Palatinate emigrated in 1741 to North America where he
married
in 1745 and joined in 1749 the Community of Moravian brethren. He died January 7, 1775, at Lancaster, Pennsylvania.
The life of the above mentioned Johann
Tobias Riehm and his wife are printed in the "Pfalz Am Rhein," 1933,
pages 97‑98. From this account we
learn that he was born at Theisbergstegen near Kusel in the Palatinate, September
27, 1717, and died at Lancaster, Pennsylvania, January 7, 1775. He arrived at Philadelphia, September 23,
1741, from Rotterdam, via Cowes, together
with emigrants from the Palatinate on board the ship,
"Marlborough." He was a master mason.
On January 13, 1745, he married Martha Rietzel (Reisel) who was born at
Huffelsheim in the Rhineland, February 22, 1723 and died at Lancaster,
Pennsylvania, December 13, 1780. He
joined the Moravian Brethren, November 21, 1749. Tobias and his wife had nine children, but
little is known of them.

John Ream 2) born on the old Ream Homestead, near Reamstown, Cocalico Township,
Lancaster County, Pennsylvania,
1732; d. 1782. His will in the records
of Lancaster County, does not
mention his wife, but names his nine ch.: John 3), David 3), Andrew 3), Anna Mary 3), Suzanna 3), Julianna 3), Mary 3), Esther 3),
