Carly, I can only hope you check this Rider message board.I tried to e mail you at the address on gen forum, but it is not valid.The family you are talking about is related to me.My grandmother, who is 93, remembers when they stayed with her family about 1913.The Ryder family had been traveling near Trousdale, OK.They stopped at night and slept in a tent under a big tree.During the night a huge thunder and lightning storm came up , and in the morning Elmer was dead.A bolt of lightning had hit the tree and gone down into the big root he was sleeping on.My great grandfather, William Henry Sweeten, went and picked up Frances and the children, Procter, Allen, and Mary Lou, and took them to his home in PUshmataha Co, OK.They stayed there several weeks while Frances's brother came by mule from ARkansas to get them.There is a little more to this story, but you get the idea.These Ryders connect to my Clarks and Sweetens and that part gets complicated.Please e mail me at [email protected] whenever you find this.I am so sad that your e mail address won't work, because I am anxious to exchange information with you.Karen
