    In those years in America every pious Jew was an Admor.

    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=.

    Thanks Farshlufen,
    I see he had 3 sons and two daughters, any information about them, were they also here in the US?

    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.
