Moses Reist Sr.

Moses was a real character and a real Christian of the Mennonite faith. I walked up one time and got a feeling about his Schreitz [?] factory which really was something to see. Also the old story about Moses going to the Waterloo Park for a stroll, when he came to the terraces at the top, a bunch of girls were below and when they seen him they said Holy Moses and Moses took that to heart and wrote a book claiming he was the second Moses. Now there must be some truth in this because my mother bought a book from him. It was printed in German and named Die Goldene Bible. Where the book got too I don't know but there are some around. Also he had ideas about the Maple Syrup and [was] the first one to collect sap instead of walking tree to tree. He purchased some eavetrough to run the sap to one location. I believe this was the forerunner of what they are doing now with plastic pipes. Dad and Moses had many a chat in the old tinshop.

This drawing is attributed to Joseph D. Bauman (1815-1889). The Bauman family roots were in Berks County, Pennsylvania, but he was born near Waterloo and farmed near St. Jacobs.
