General Notes: Husband - Overington I. Riddle


He spent his boyhood on the home farm. In 1854 he went to Butler County, Pennsylvania, with his parents and for a number of years worked in the oil fields after petroleum was discovered on his father's land. He continued to reside in Butler County until 1878, when his father bought him two of his farms in Lawrence County, and to those tracts Mr. Riddle added more, until he owned 500 acres. He carried on general farming, having his whole estate under cultivation. In addition to his agricultural interests, Mr. Riddle was one of the progressive men of his community, who successfully co-operated with other leading men in local enterprises of a more or less public character, without interfering with his main business. In 1906, when the Enon Valley Telephone Company was organized, he was elected president and manager. He was also president of the Southern Avenue Land Company, of Pittsburgh, had stock in the Union National Bank at Pittsburgh, and was on the directing board of other enterprises.
He was a stanch Republican. He served as a school director for twenty-two years, and was the president of the School Board.
