LUTHER REILY, b. 1794, in Myerstown, Pa.; d. February 20, 1854, in Harrisburg, Pa.; son of Capt. John Reily, of the army of the Revolution, and his wife, Elizabeth Myer. He studied medicine with Dr. Martin Luther, a prominent physician of that period, and located at Harrisburg; served as a medical officer in the war of 1812-14; became quite popular in political affairs, and was elected to the Twenty-fifth Congress of the United States. Preferring his professional life to that of a public one, he positively declined further honors, and devoted the remainder of his days to that calling in which he was so successful, and on which he shed a bright luster.
