Individual Details
William Henry Riddle
(Apr 1854 - 1928)
In 1870, Henry, age 16 was living with Nathan and Rhoda Riddle. Nathan's age appears to be 84 although it's a strike-over and Rhoda's age is 74. They would seem to be almost too old to be his parents, but could be grandparents - looking back to 1860, it's evident that about 10 years was added to the ages of both Nathan & Rhoda in 1870. Rhoda was 55 in 1860 and William Henry was 6.
In 1880, Henry's father Mathan Riddle was counted as the next household. His age given as 94, and has a relationship to Henry as "Father".
