International Development in Central America, Africa, Southeast Asia, and Washington, DC. Sam and

Phillip Litzenberger‟s first wife, Mary Dippel, died in 1898 soon after the family‟s arrival in New York.
According to family tradition, she was buried in Pine Island but a search of local public records did not
indicate a death or burial certificate. Phillip married his second wife, Sophie Lust, in Amity, New York on
September 24, 1899.
