Reiss Dairy is the third book in this series. It is a history of
the Reiss Dairy in Sikeston, Missouri which was founded in 1935 by
third generation John Reiss and his son-in-law, Lonnie Standley.
The dairy is famous for milk bottles featuring poems created by
Sikeston citizens to promote Reiss Dairy products. The best of
these bottles now sell on eBay for over $200. It Takes A Matriarch
was the second of four books about the extended Reiss and Basler
families who settled on a small farm in St. Clair County, Illinois
in 1834 and 1839, respectively. It includes 780 letters saved by
first generation Margaret Basler Reiss Ebert from 1852 to 1888.
Some letters were phonetic English but most had to be translated
from "old" German. Authors were Margaret's siblings, their spouses,
her children, their spouses, her grandchildren, and two friends.
They mention serving in the Civil War, personal challenges, life in
St. Louis and Sacramento and Davenport, and the lost family
fortune. One author was friends with John Wilkes Booth who shot
President Lincoln. Quilter, Granger, Grandma, Matriarch was the
first of these four books. It is the daily diary of third
generation Katie Reiss covering 1949 through 1953. It was published
first to give the reader a feel for life on the Reiss Family Farm
in the German heritage of southern Illinois. Katie and husband
George Reiss doubled the original Reiss/Basler farm to its current
360 acres. Relatives gather for a reunion in June 2009 to celebrate
175 years of the ongoing existence of the Reiss Family Farm.
Family, Farming, and Freedom will be the fourth book. It is 55
years of professional and personal writings by fourth generation
Irv Reiss from 1949 to 2004. His favorite subjects were family fun
and travel, restoring strip mined coal lands to productive farming,
and promoting individual freedoms and responsibilities. He was my
dad.
