Mrs. Rider was the daughter of Jacob and Elizabeth Rumbarger, and was born at Gatesburg on October 31, 1830. On January 13, 1852 she was united in marriage by Rev. D. C. Moser, at Pine Grove Mills to Jacob K. Rider. Mr. Rider was killed twenty-five years ago at Gatesburg, when struck by lightning during a severe electrical storm. Since that time Mrs. Rider resided with her daughter, Mrs. Ellenberger at Tyrone. Mrs. Rider was the second youngest of fifteen children.
