These parents grew up in the same neighborhood and were married on the 29th of April, 1847. Later they immigrated to the United States and settled in Genesee county, New York, where they lived until about (1848-ed. note I beleive it was much later, post Civil War), when they removed to Fayette county, Iowa, located on eighty acres of land in Jefferson township. He also bought a small log house in which the family lived for several years, and in the meantime addressed himself to the improvement of his land, which was in the condition that nature had made it. Subsequently he erected a much larger and more comfortable dwelling, the one now occupied by the subject and his family, and in due season had a fine farm under cultivation and was on the high road to prosperity. He added to his improvements at intervals, made substantial progress as a tiller of the soil and was in comfortable circumstances at the time of his death, January 20, 1890, Mrs. Ridler departing this life on January 2, 1897. In early life Mr. Ridler was tailor, which trade he learned in his native land, but after coming to America he devoted his attention principally to farming, in which, as already stated, he met with the success that usually follows sound judgment and well-directed industry. He enlisted in the One Hundred Fortieth New York Infantry at the breaking out of the great Rebellion and served one year at the front, and it was shortly after his return from the army that he disposed of his interests in New York and came west. As a neighbor and citizen he stood high in the confidence and esteem of all who knew him, and the deep interest he ever took in promoting the social and moral welfare of the community gave him a wide reputation throughout the county. In religion the Presbyterian church held his creed and in politics he was loyal and unswerving in upholding the principles of the Republican party. William and Mary Ridler reared a family of six children, namely: Fannie, born November 4, 1848, married Peter Harford, of Oelwein; Mary Jane, who was born March 20, 1851, is the wife of Charles Knight, of Denver, Colorado; Josephine, born December 4, 1853, is now Mrs. H. W. Keniston, of Oelwein; William W., of this review, is the fourth in order of birth, the fifth being Frederick John, a retired farmer of Fayette county, living in Oelwein, whose natal day was January 12, 1858; Emma Lucinda, the youngest of the family, was born September 21, 1863, and married George Teague, a well-to-do farmer and substantial citizen of Jefferson township.
