General Notes: Husband - Myron O. Riddle


In 1876 his parents moved to Little Beaver Township, Law-rence County, Pennsylvania, where he thereafter resided. He received a somewhat limited education in the common schools of the community, the greater portion of his time having been devoted to assisting with the work on the farm. When a mere boy it fell to his lot to care for between forty and fifty head of cattle. Mr. Riddle remained at home until after his marriage, when he took charge of a farm for his uncle, O. I. Riddle, for two years, and in April, 1900, he purchased his own farm of 130 acres from the John Wallace heirs. All of the farm buildings, including the house, a brick structure, which was erected in 1876, were on the land at the time of his purchase. There Mr. Riddle engaged in general farming.
In political affiliation, Mr. Riddle was a Republican and served his township in various offices, having been township supervisor two terms, Judge of election twice; he was first elected a member of the School Board in 1905, and was re-elected in 1907. He was, fraternally, a member of the I. O. O. F., Enon Lodge No. 916. He was a stockholder in the Enon Valley Telephone Company.
