   Boruch, it should read cong. “Mogen Avrohom” (instead of Mogen Dovid). That’s what it says on the stone, and also here: http://www.hebrewbooks.org/pdfpager.aspx?req=3159&st=&pgnum=2, and here: http://www.hebrewbooks.org/pdfpager.aspx?req=12911&st=&pgnum=6&hilite=.

   You can see here more information about his biography and his family, also the names of his children at the end of the biography.

   Correct the name of the shule was Mogen Avroham I will correct it. After Rav Reiter passing Rav Hillel Weiss (listed on the sight) was appointed and until its recent closing Rabbi Eliyahu Shmuel Heftler held the position. The Rav’s son Yaakov is buried along side him at Union Field.

    I spoke to my cousin, who is a great-great-grandaughter of Rav Reiter and a family historian. According to her, the Rav had seven children. In order, they were:
    1) Haskell, who died at age 2
    2) Jacob
    3) Pearl, who died young in childbirth
    4) Adolph (Aharon)
    5) Henry
    6) Yetta
    7) Miriam (Mary)
    Jacob, Aharon, Yetta, Miriam, and and a number of other descendants are buried near the Rav in Union Field.

    Myself and two other great great grandchildren of Rabbi Naftali Reiter and Sylka Leah Reiter (descendants of their children Jacob; Pearl and Adolph) went to Union Fields Cemetery and paid our respects this past Sunday. I took one of the Kevarim cards left at the gravesite, and thank you all for visiting.
    If anyone has access to the Forward to see if there is an obituary for Rabbi Reiter who died March 16th, 1911 the family would be interested. We have all the other obituaries from the time.

    My elter Zaida Rav Shloimeh Reiter was born in the late 1800’s in Austria Hungry (Oberteen).

    Don’t know if there is any relation.
