FRED RIES
was born in Saarbruck, Prussia, Nov. 22, 1838,
and is a son of Martin and Mary (Cline) Ries, who came to
America in 1847, and settled in Chippewa township, Wayne Co., Ohio,
where the father worked as a coal miner for twelve years. In
1859 he purchased thirty-three acres of land in Chippewa township on
which coal was found, and which was developed by the Silver Creek
Mining Company, for whom he was the superintendent five years.
He then removed to Knoxville, Tenn., where a company was formed for
mining coal, for which he acted as superintendent three years.
He then returned to Chippewa township, Wayne County, retired from
business, and he now resides in Doylestown. His family
consisted of eight children, viz.: Christopher, a hotel
keeper in Clinton, Ohio; Fred, our subject; Hettie,
now Mrs. Peter Cline; William N., a farmer of Chippewa
township, Wayne County; Henry, a coal miner in Medina County,
Ohio; Martin (deceased); George, a miner boss in
Chippewa Township, and Minnie, now Mrs. Welman Cline.
Of these, Fred, whose name heads
this memoir, was reared in Chippewa Township, Wayne County, from
nine years of age, receiving a common school education, and began
life as a coal miner, which occupation he followed for twenty years.
He was then appointed inside boss of the mines of the Wadsworth Coal
Company, acting in that capacity for eight years, when he was
appointed superintendent of the mines, a position he held until the
mines were exhausted. In 1880 the Excelsior Coal Company was
formed, of which Mr. Ries was a stockholder, and he has been
its efficient superintendent since its organization.
Our subject married, Dec. 5, 1861, Barbara Diehl,
a native of Hesse-Darmstadt, Germany, by whom he had four children:
William P., superintendent of a coal mine in New Comerstown,
Tuscarawas Co., Ohio; Henry C., book-keeper for the Excelsior
Coal Company; Ellma, wife of J. W. Merkt, and
Freddie, deceased. Mr. Ries is one of the
substantial citizens of Doylestown, of which he has been a resident
since 1879. He is an attendant of the Lutheran Church.
He is a member of the Masonic fraternity, Odd Fellows order, Knights
of Pythias and royal Arcanum. In politic she is a Democrat.
