General Notes: Husband - Samuel Lock Riddle


He settled in Fairview Township, Butler County, Pennsylvania, in 1854, and for a quarter of a century was engaged there in agricultural pursuits. He then returned to Allegheny County, where the rest of his life was spent.

He was quite small his father died, and the family was left with but little of this world's goods. He early learned to toil, and built up a fine property. In 1835 he started for him-self on a farm in Lower St. Clair township, and in 1843 went to Plum township. After eleven years he moved to Fairview, Butler County, and remained twenty-one years, in which time he bought three good farms. He then sold two of them, and, coming again to Plum township, purchased ten acres just out-side of the borough of Verona, east of Hul-ton station, where he had a fine home in which to spend his latter days.

His father died when he was small, and as he was the youngest, he remained with his mother. She lived many years longer, dying at the home of her son John, in Butler County, when aged eighty-six years.

In his earlier years he followed farming and butchering. In 1854 he purchased a farm in Butler County for which he paid $3,000, which was then considered a large price, but as oil was later found on the land, his investment proved a very good one and enabled him to retire, in 1865, possessed of a large fortune.
He and his wife had nine children, five who died young.


General Notes: Wife - Mary Ann Schroder
