In 1983 Joan Riehle Ruse, editor of the die Familie Riehle Newsletter, sent a notice to her subscribers of a family Reunion in Orchard Park NY, hosted by John and Edith Riehle. We still have that notice in our files.
While we know little about the event other than the names and address, we do know that John Aloysius Riehle (1927–1987) was the great-grandson of Martin Riehle (1831-1922) who emigrated from Wagshurst Baden to this area south of Buffalo, NY in or about 1852. John Aloysius was married to Edith May Unger Riehle (1924–2009) who co-hosted the reunion and was doubtlessly instrumental in its organization.
Below is the Riehle ancestry of John Aloysius (with more ancestry detail here) as well as the scanned copies of Joan’s notice:
