   Joseph A. Crider, farmer, of Kechi township, Sedgwick county, Kansas, was
born August 31, 1839, in Preble county, Ohio. He is the son of Samuel C. and
Catherine (Aringes) Crider. The father died in Ohio in 1855 and the mother in
1882. They were the parents of eight children, of whom Joseph W. was the
youngest. The Crider ancestry is traced to Germany. Joseph A. Crider acquired
his education in the public schools of Ohio, which he attended until twenty
years old, and lived under the paternal roof until he was twenty-three. He was
married on March 29, 1863, in Preble county, to Miss Anna Frantz. Ten children
have been born of this union, of whom nine are now living. They are: Cassius E.,
born January 2, 1864; Thaddeus R., single, born January 28, 1866; Charles A.,
single, born February 9, 1868; Walter T., single, born June 22, 1870; Clarence
H., single, born November 30, 1872; Samuel E., single, born April 21, 1875; Mrs.
Alpha Knebler, born October 17, 1877; Jesse F., single, born September 28, 1882;
Joseph J., single, born July 29, 1884. Ralph, deceased, was born June 10, 1888.
Mr. Crider, on March 29, 1877, left Ohio and came to Kansas, locating first in
Kechi township, where he lived six years. In 1883 he bought eighty acres of land
in Section 36, Grant township, which he afterwards sold. He then bought 100
acres of land in Section 2, Kechi township, where he now resides. He is a
Republican in politics and active in the interests of his party when it puts
good men in nomination for office.
