I've removed the notability tag as this has references, though more would be great. I've noticed his name is sometimes spelt Reitzel. Which is correct. It seems his performance was noted [1]. Does anyone have a subscription to the NY Times? --Kleinzach (talk) 10:13, 10 April 2008 (UTC)[reply]
Good question about the spelling of his name. I reasoned that the New York Times (ie) was probably correct, given that it has a reputation for editorial care; that its articles were contemporary with the subject and reflected "home town" coverage; and that the ie spelling comported with that in the 1903 book, which would have gone through a respected publishing house's editorial process. The ei sources that I saw were either distant (New Zealand) or not subject to editorial review (private transcription of two 19th century sources). Drhoehl (talk) 00:17, 11 April 2008 (UTC)[reply]
