General Notes: Husband - William Clark Riddle

---

When a young man he located in Irwin Township, Venango County, PA, purchasing 100 acres of land, all of which was then in the woods. He succeeded in clearing it, and spent the rest of his life upon the farm he made, cultivating it and putting up all the buildings there. (The farm was later owned by Charles Karns.) He took an active part in public affairs in the township, serving as school director and constable. He was a member of the State militia, and during the Civil war served for a few months in Pennsylvania. He was a member of the Amity Presbyterian Church and one of the zealous workers in that congregation. [CAB, 677]
