Section II RIEHM−REAM GENEALOGY The Riehm Family in Germany Norman W. Ream, of Harrisburg, Pennsylvania, after being elected president of the Ream Family Association of America annually for many years, was in 1930 chosen president of this association for life. He is a descendant of Johann Eberhard Riehm, of Leimen, Germany, who emigrated to Pennsylvania about 1717, and for the past thirty-five years he has been spending much time, effort and money in collecting information about the descendants and ancestors of this emigrant. Besides finding many records of American descendants, he succeeded in locating and communicating with descendants of the Riehm family living in Leimen, Darmstadt, and Berlin, Germany and secured from them valuable information and data of the Riehm (Ream) families in Germany and especially of the Riehm family of Leimen of which Johann Eberhard Riehm was a member. Mr. Norman Ream has very generously furnished most of the history and records of the Ream families given in the following genealogy. The Ream family is related to the Stukey Family through the marriages of two children of John Stukey 2); Anna Stukey who married Sampson Ream, and Joseph Stukey who married Mary (Molly) Ream. Sampson and Mary were children of Abraham Ream "The Miller", of Fairfield County, Ohio. Noah Stukey 4) son of Joseph and Mary (Ream) Stukey married Mary-Ann Clem, daughter of Elizabeth Grove and Henry Thomas Clem, thus bringing the Clem and Grove families into this group of families. -------- and you shall know That this life's sweet breath, This very heartbeat's deepest ownership, Is only loaned, and through your blood Rolls past an heritage of ancestry Alike with far outstretching future, And that for every hair upon your head, A fight, a woe, a death was sufferedΧ Hermann Hesse Forever do they come, forever pass, They never rest in stale sterility, We see their ups and downs as through a glass, And leave their fates to God's eternity.
