Here are the confirmation dates and the ages of some of the children of Samuel and Mary Reiter as obtained from the Trumbauersville Christ Lutheran Church Records:
Edward Reiterage 18, confirmed 1849
Julianna Reiterage 17, confirmed 1849
Sara Reiterage 20, confirmed 1855
Fayetta Reiterage 16, confirmed 1857
Wilhelm Reiterage 17, confirmed 1861
I have not found the confirmations of either Benjamin or Samuel (Jr.) Reiter.
Note at the time of the death of Samuel Reiter (Sr),1853, both Benjamin and Sarah were old enough to pick their own guardian, whereas for the younger children their mother Mary (Otto) Reiter petitioned the court for a guardian appointment.As it turned out all the children had Jacob L. Scholl as their guardian.I have not been able to determine any family connection between Jacob Scholl and the Reiter family.
