On August 31, 1905, a number of Kriebels and their descendants met at Zieber’s Park, near West Point, Pa., and organized the Kriebel Family Reunion Association whose object as quoted from the Constitution is:
“To perpetuate the memory and foster the principles and virtues of the Kriebel ancestors of the members; to promote social intercourse among the latter, to preserve and disseminate historie information of the family.”
At the first meeting the following officers were elected to serve as an executive committee to arrange for further meetings:
President—Howard W. Kriebel Vice-President—Henry S. Kriebel
Secretary—Charles K. Heebner Treasurer—George Kriebel, Jr.
It is interesting to note that at this first meeting the following resolution was adopted:
Resolved: That the officers of this meeting appoint a committee of five to confer with representatives of other lines of descendants of Schwenkfelder immigrants of 1734, with the purpose of devising ways and means of getting into print a new edition of ‘‘The Genealogical Record of the Descendants of the Schwenkfelders.”
Annual meetings have been held ever since, and the association has been interested in the collection and preservation of genealogical data as well as family history. ‘‘All persons by the name of Kriebel, all descendants of Kriebels, and their families shall be eligible to active membership.” Annual meetings are generally held on the last Saturday in August of each year. These meetings are generally held on or near one of the original Kriebel homesteads.
