Morning Bruce & Jan,
According to my research Leah's grandfather never made it to
Montgomery county, Ohio. Records I have looked at show that Johannes
Reigel's
wife and children arrived in Montgomery county in either late 1831 or early
1832 as David Reigel's son Franklin is reported to have been born in Berks
county, Pa on April 11, 1831. This comes from a bio done by Franklin J.
Reigel and reprinted in Centennial Portraits of Montgomery county, Ohio.
I do know however that Eve Reber Reigel did make it to Ohio as I saw
an 1850 census report for her in Jefferson township, Montgomery county, Ohio
as she was living in the house fo her daughter-in-law Elizabeth Clemmer
Reigel who was the widow of Jonas Riegel. I can not prove it but apparently
Johannes wife and children moved to Ohio to be near to Johannes' uncle
Andrew
Zeller and I believe that it at this point that the Reigel family became
United Brethren as Andrew Zeller was a minister of the religion. Several of
the Riegel children also married into the Zeller family.

Eleanor Clymer; Children's Author Drew Inspiration From Her Family
By Myrna Oliver (Times Staff writer)
Eleanor Clymer, who wrote 58 books of what she called "realistic fiction"
for children ages 5 to 12, from "A Yard for John" in 1943 to "The Horse in
the Attic" in 1983, has died. She was 95.
Clymer died Saturday at a retirement facility in Haverford, PA.
"Mainly, I try to interpret children's feelings, questions and interests in
the world they live in," she said in 1994 "Something About the Author
Autobiography Series."
The prolific if late-blooming writer drew inspiration from her family - her
desire as a big-city girl for the country life, her only son's interest in
such things as baseball and photography, and insights into poor children's
lives from her husband, who was a social worker.
Clymer worked in a doctor's office and a social work agency and as a teacher
until the birth of her only child, Adam, encouraged her to write for
children. She studied with children's writer Lucy Sprague Mitchell at Bank
Street College of Education, heeding Mitchel's advice to listen to children
to learn the issues that are important to them. Fantasy is important,
Mitchell taught her, but reality is even more so.
Published when she was 37, Clymer's first book was "A Yard for John,"
describing a little boy w ho wanted a place to dig - finding it only when
his parents moved to the country.
Her young son's fascination with baseball later led to "Treasure at First
Base," about a boy establishing baseball as the favorite sport in his new
neighborhood while solving a historical mystery. Her son's interest in
photography prompted "Chester," who decides to own camera, and Adam's
childhood food preferences prompted "Hamburgers - and Ice Cream for
Dessert."
True tales of urban youngsters related by her husband enabled her to write
from the points of view of the downtrodden - such books as "The Trolley Car
Family," about an out-of-work trolley driver housing his brood in such a
vehicle, and "The Latch-Key Club," about city children who are on there own
after school while their parents work. Clymer's "My Brother Stevie,"
written from the point if view of an African American girl, won the Woodward
School Zyra Lourie book award in 1968. "Luke Was There," the story of a
children's shelter, earned the Children's Book Award of the Child Study
Assn. Of America in 1975.
Book Adapted as Musical
Clymer based one book, "The Tiny Little House," on an actual home she saw
squeezed between Manhattan skyscrapers and her assumption that children
would like playing there. The book was adapted into children's
off-off-Broadway musical, "The Little House of Cookies," in 1984.
The author's whimsical "The Get-Away Car," which won the Sequoyah Book Award
of the Oklahoma Library Assn. In 1978, was based on a car Clymer and her
husband bought for $10 in the early 1930s. The story involved a child and
her grandmother driving from the city to a cousin's foreclosure threatened
country home, picking up several neighborhood children on the way.
Although reviewers always praised Clymer's writing for the action and humor,
they also saw her gentle ability to instruct young readers.
"When I write a book for children, I am telling them something about the
world and about life," Clymer said. "If the book holds the children's
interest and helps them cope with their world, I shall have succeeded."
Born Eleanor Lowenton in New York City on Jan. 7, 1906, she married Kinsey
Clymer after attending Barnard College and earning a degree in English from
the University of Wisconsin. Despite aborted attempts to mover to the
country, she made her life in the city until the 1960s when she and her
husband moved to Katonah, N.Y. Clymer's husband died in 1984.
Adam Clymer their only child, is a Washington correspondent for the New York
Times.
