  • Name Emil Samuel REINHARDT  [1
    • Folklore has it that Emil was disowned by his parents as he left the Catholic Church and became a Lutheran. When his parents died, it is said that a relative made a trip to Buffalo from Germany solely to tell him that he was left out of the will and left nothing. Rumor has it that his family was well to do and possibly was in the shipping business.
