                   Witwer genealogy of America by Ananais Clime Witwer and Rev. Geo. Witwer  1909 So. Bend Indiana
We found in Daniel WIttwer's death record some variation on his tombstone, his age is 50 years, 6 months and 2 days.  Thus his death as Feb 1813, and as the record and tradition gives it that he died one year after his wife, Anna; she died in 1812, aged 42 years, as she was born in 1770.   The father, Daniel Wittwer had a very nice farm on the H. and D turnpike road, and the Witwer Grave Yard is on this farm.  He erected a good house and barn and made good improvements in his time; was a good and noted minister in the Mennonite church; died in the year 1813, again 50 years, 6 months, 2 days.  His wife preceded him just one year.  THey are both buried in the Witwer grave yard.  It is worthy to note that the three youngest sons of our ancestor married three sisters, Reife.  The Reife were among the first settlers in Lancaster County, Pa., in good standing and influential in society, and their properties numberous throughout the different parts of the United States.  Daniel Wittwer, after his first wife died, married again to a widow, Mrs. Winger, 54; she was an excellent woman.  He lived only about six weeks after his second marriage, when death called him away.
