Known as Molly. She had borne 11 children, of whom 7 were still alive in 1900 and only 4 as of 1910.
William's birth certificate gives her maiden name. By 1920 she was widowed and living with the family of her son Walter.
She had married again to a Kretzler (Fritzler?) and was listed as a widow in the 1940 Census. Single daughter Bertha lived with her as did Edith Creasey (also widowed).

Perhaps Töpper?
Arrived with his wife and three children on the ship Köln out of Bremerhaven, landing in Baltimore on July 2, 1881. The spelling is 'Rietesel', the family members are not in the Wittgenstein records, nor were they traveling with other recognizable Wittgenstein names. The highest probability is that they came from Pomerania, the only other known source of Rietesel emigrants. He may have been the Johann Rietesel who was naturalized on May 13, 1892. At one time I had a date of May 04, 1922 for his death, but I cannot document it now. They were Missouri Synod Lutherans in this country.
At the time of his marriage in 1816 he was listed as being a master miller. His death registration uses the spelling of 'Riedesel' and is the source of his birth date as well.
She was a widow at the time of her marriage to Johann Riedesel; her first married name is not clear.
At the time of his marriage in 1877 he was a joiner or cabinet maker.
Lived in Alt-Preetz near Stralsund
