Notes for William Riley Ridenhour\Ridenour

Courtesy of Elisabeth Napper:
'A History of Ozark Co, MO 1841-1991' pg 86:
George Samuel and Mary Rosana (Ridenhour) Byerley -
George was born 21 May 1850 in Portland Mills, IN. He married on September 29, 1872 at Almartha and died March 19, 1937. His wife, Mary Rosana Ridenhour, was born 25 December 1858, in Osage Co, MO and died May 30, 1034. She is buried at Souder Cemetery. His wife's father was William R. Ridenhour. Her mother was Elizann Wallace, born 1833 and died 1935.
... Mary Rossana Ridenhour's father, William R., was born June 7, 1872. There is no record as to when he died. Her mother was Liza Ann Ridenhour, born September 27, 1833 and died 1918. Mary was an only child. William R. died just after Mary was born and some time later Liza Ann married George A. Shindler (1883-1951). Elizann Shindler 1833-1918 is buried in Souder Cemetery, Ozark Co, MO ('A Survey of Ozark County Cemeteries', pg 83).
The next two listed are George S. Byerlee and Mary R. Byerley.
The article on page 86 of 'A Ozark History' carries two death dates for Eliza Ann Wallace Ridenhour Hawkins Jones Shindler. I am choosing to use the 1918 as copied in the Cemetery book.
