Individual Details
NORMAN RYDER
(12 Apr 1840 - 5 Apr 1875)
Children: No Descendants
[Picture of Norman's headstone]
Norman's gravestone is prominent in the first North River Baptist Cemetery in Wheaton Settlement New Brunswick.
By his father's will, Norman inherited the east half of lot 39 in New Canaan, and he presumably inherited lot 27 when his brother Eastman died. In the early 1860s, Norman sold these properties and moved to Wheaton Settlement NB, some fifteen miles east of New Canaan, where he purchased and operated a sawmill.
On Feb 11 1871 the Albert Baptist Church was formed at Fredericton Road, and "Mr. and Mrs. Norman Ryder" were founding members, and "Norman Ryder and Nathan Ryder were chosen deacons and Chipman, clerk."
Norman had no children of his own, but he served as foster parent for Mark and Unity Ryder (see Fams#34,35), his halfbrother and sister, and for Norman and Henrietta Sutherland (see Fams#75, 76), orphaned children of his sister Levina.
Norman was killed, it is said, by an accident at the sawmill, when a load of logs fell on him. He was only 36 years of age. He is buried in the cemetery of the First North River Baptist Church in Wheaton Settlement. His headstone is prominent there, and reads, "Norman Ryder/ April 5, 1875."
Norman's wife Permelia outlived him by more than 50 years. She married (2) Alexander Ryder, Fam#61, below.

Rider written 6 Apr 1848; probate of the Will of Joseph Rider 4 Oct 1859; Dana Ryder; NB Census Wheaton Settlement 1871; a manuscript history of the Albert Baptist Church, n.d., in the possession of Dana Ryder; Cemetery inscription, First North River Baptist Church, Wheaton Settlement NB.
