Jonas was a son of Jacob John and Anna Maria (Harter) Bittenbender. He was born in Luzerne Co., Pa. and married Charlotte (aka Caroline) (Lutz) about 1846, per the 1900 Hazleton, Luzerne Co., Pa. census record. The 1900 census also states they had 7 children, 4 still living at that time.
The Will of Jonas was written on June 25, 1901 and names beneficiaries as wife Charlotte and family; it was probated on May 15, 1903. His Will states his date of death as May 2, 1903. His obituary on May 4 states he died the day before; however, I listed it here as May 2, since the Will would probably be more accurate. His Will also mentions he requested a tombstone, but does not mention which cemetery. Most likely, he was buried at Red Rocks Cemetery, where his wife and several children are buried.
