Individual Details

Frederick and Estora lived in Portland ME, where Fred was a salesman and part-time farmer. The couple was divorced in the 1930s. Fred then moved to Brooklyn NY. Estora remarried and moved to California. She is recalled as "very sociable and a church-going Christian woman." After he left for Brooklyn, Fred seems to have dropped out of contact with his family. Roy and Geneva write, "Frederick Ryder, who was Roy's father, left Maine in the 1930s, to find work in New York City, and as far as we know lived there until he died. We presume he died in Brooklyn or surrounding areas probably in the late 1970s or early 1980s." [Geneva and Roy Ryder]
