  Notes	Reisin was a farmer, living at Winfield, OH in 1874, later moving to New Philadelphia, OH. He had vivid recollections of conversation, when he was a boy, with ancestors who took part in the War of 1812 and of the Revolution. His father having been in the former and his grandfather and great-grandfather having been soldiers of the War of Independence, as was also his maternal grandfather Miller. He was a man intensely American in all his feelings and instincts, and while not an actual soldier in the field during the Civil War, he gave his best efforts in support of the Union cause. He had been a member of the Republican party ever since its organization. He never used tobacco or liquor in any form, and followed the highest ideals of a useful citizen, making himeself an uplifting influence on all with whom he cam in contact. As an active member of the English Evanglical Lutheran Church for nearly seventy-five years, he made his influence strongly felt for good. In his eight-ninth year he was still managing his farm near New Philadelphia.
