Lydia A. Reider b 7/1847 d. 3/27/1939 in St. Clair, Schuylkill County, PA 

Also known as Reiter, Ridder, Reighter, Reder, Rider. Lydia gave birth to 9 children. 

In the year 1900, she and Tom were married for 32 years and lived on East Railroad St., 
St. Clair, Pennsylvania, where Tom worked as a carpenter. Their daughter-in-law and son 
William, who was 23 years old at the time was living with them. William had been married 
at 20 years old. Maude, who was thirteen and single also lived with them. 

According to the international Genealogical Index/North America, Lydia's marriage to 
Albert H. Reppert took place on December 29, 1967 at Saint John's Reformed Church, 
Orwigsburg, Schuylkill County, PA. 

Taken from Church Records from St. John's Reformed Church, Orwigsburg, Schuylkill County PA: 
1. 12/29/1867 Albert H. Reppert and Lydia A. Reder (or Rider) were married. 
Ceremony preformed by Rev. D. B. Albright 
2. Burial records from the same church indicate that Albert H. Reppert was buried on 
April 9, 1868 at the age of 21 years. 

This being the case, Albert died 3 month and a few days after they got married and Lydia 
became pregnant with Margaret immediately upon the marriage. This being the case and 
Maggie being born in September of 1868, the census records of 1900 show that Tom Reed 
and Lydia were then married for 32 years indicating that Lydia and Tom married in the year 
of 1868 sometime. That also being the case, the children: Manden born in 1866 and 
Emanuel born in 1866 could not have been the biological children of Lydia Reider but 
from a former marriage of Tom Reed's - that is unknown to us at this time and not being 
Reppert children because Reppert and Reider were not married until 1867. 

Family records show Lydia A. ; obit says Lydia E.
