Biography

Note: ADOPTION: According to "History of Bethel Township .........." by Louise Lyon:

"One day in 1887 a woman knocked on the door of Reverand and Mrs. John Mitchell who lived at Dyers Corner. The woman asked if she could warm some milk for the baby. When told she could, she asked Mrs. Mitchell to hold the baby and she would get the milk. She went out, got into her buggy and drove away. She had a bundle with the baby and in it was a note saying the baby's name was Moses, born June 5. Mrs. Mitchell was unable to care for the baby but neighbors, Mr. & Mrs. Rodger Ridge, at the insistence of their 16 year old daughter Lottie [Charlotte], adopted Moses. He grew to manhood here and then went to Can, married a Canadian girl and still (1974) lives there. Lottie Ridge was Jessie Wicklander Wyatt's mother." [JWP]

He & Ethel had, Morris, Arthur, Russell, Herman & Verna Ridge.
