General Notes: Husband - Michael Ryder

---

He was born near Elizabethtown, Lancaster County, Pennsylvania, and moved to Franklin County in 1822.

His boyhood was passed on the farm, and he had little or no opportunity for securing an education. In the seventeenth year of his age he was bound out to serve an apprenticeship at the carpenter's trade, which he followed eight years.
After his marriage he resided in Peters Township, Franklin County, for two years, then removed to Fannett Township, where he purchased a farm on which he lived fourteen years, after which he purchased a farm near Loudon, on which he settled and lived until 1875, when he removed to town, and then lived a life of retirement. He began life with small means, only about $2,000 in all, and was eminently successful, prosperity attending his every effort. He continued to owner of 139 acres of cultivated land, and gave his children a good start in life.
Early in life he and his wife were members of the Reformed Church, but when they located in Fannett Township there was no organized Reformed Church there, and they united with the Presbyterians. After settling in Peters Township they became connected with the Reformed Mennonite Church.
