He learned the shoemaker trade at Stumpstown, now Fredericksburg, by
Jacob Buchananyer. He prospered at his trade and married into a
respected family near Kimmerlings Church by the name of Wolf. His
first wife died when the children were young, so small that their
father lifted them to see their mother in the coffin.Some of our
immeditate relatives still live at Kimmerlings's Church and are
highly respected and prosperous people.
Hoping to hear from you soon,trusting this message will find you
enjoying good health.All of us join in love to you all.
Your Cousin,
Samuel Riegel

After writing this letter,my youngest daughter expressed so much
interest in it,that I gave it to her to make extracts from it.She
wishes me to give her all the information and help her formulate it
into a family tree.In a local history some years ago there is a brief
sketch of Samuel Riegel,tracing briefly genealogy on the paternal and
maternal side of the Palatinate in "The Fatherland".When daughter
Rhoda has a little more leisure I will ask her to make you a copy and
send it to you.I was looking for a card sent to me by cousin Sarah
Walker of Post Falls,Idaho giving the picture of a squaw,carrying a
babe on her back.She was employed by the Government of Washington as
a guide to surveyors in surveying a Gov't Route across the
mountains.And they have erected a bronze statue in her memory,in
Idaho.In bringing Uncle home from the hospital,this card has been
misplaced.
After all this delay,for which I ask your pardon,I will mail this
letter,with the hope of hearing from ou soon.I am in error when I say
Uncle Jacob,Adam and Joseph McConnel took Gr. Grandfather Cameron to
Highspire.That was another occasion.Grandfather and Grandmother
McConnel and Uncle Joseph McConnel have the honor on this last visit.
Would be pleased to have your daughter write of the information she
has been able to gather.
