Mary Jane and Bev - I too live in Phoenix, and have a few Reitz who have married into the Plyler line over the years in Jefferson County. For instance, I have a Sarah Jane, parents not known who married Levi Plyler. She died in 1941, at the age of 81, and is buried in the Ohl cemetery. Then there was Ellis Malcom Reitz, who married Annie Brocius. He was born in 1886, they were married in 1906. In my childhood, I knew him as "Mal". I have a list of their children. I also have a Stanley Martz who married Mary Reitz. Mary was a child of Mal and Annie, and we visited them on numerous occassions, including a Thanksgiving of memory. I don't have dates for either of them, but knew them both in my childhood. They were my father's generation. Dad and Mary were 2nd cousins. Do any of these fit your lines?
