***************
The picture I sent today was of Fletcher Riddle,my great grandfather, Eli & Sarah Cunningham's son.
It is cropped from the one on the website. You could put it on your site.
Someone might be interested.
A few weeks ago I sent you a picture of my father and your grandfather just to show the likeness.
I doubt that very many people would be interested in my father even though he is a great grandson
of Eli. I just sent it to you because we, out here, think the Riddle look is so strong down through
the generations.
We sent the picture to Roy Lockhart and I think he sent it to Rev. Harold McDougal.
I guess he has a lot on his mind and got mixed up.
I don't know how to put pictures on a website. I don't have a scanner.
My niece scans pictures for me sometimes. We live on the same block.
I wish there were pictures of all of Eli's children.
We may get one of his son James with his first wife, Nancy Burdett, yet.
My niece has met a descendent of his. Actually one of his grandsons, Odus, lived most of his life
here and is buried here, and this grandson' son, James, still lives here but doesn't have pictures
and got his information from us, but this lady is a descendent of one of his daughters and it seems
that daughters were more likely to have the pictures in those days.
Fletcher came out here when he was rather young, a few years after the Civil war.
I think he probably came because his brother David had been here and maybe still was.
I think part of the reason he came was likely that he hadn't divorced Mary Goff before he
married my great grandmother Ellen Frazier.
He added James to his name and went by that at times, though not in Nebraska.
I have heard that his tombstone has his name as James.
None of us have ever seen it or even a photo of it. It is in Missouri.
This was a big open country when he came out here and it was easy for a person to
get away from his past in it.
He may have had a good reason for running away instead of divorcing or he may have
just been very mad at her. No one has been able to find a record of a divorce.
It is possible that Mary divorced him later before she married Valentine.
I don't know that anyone has looked for a record of a divorce at that time.
We had quite a few and my aunt Mary had some she let us copy so we probably have all that
this branch of the family had.
We really haven't asked all of my dad's cousins.

Obituary:
Again have our ranks been saddened by that Grim Reaper whose touch is death, and placed
his seal upon all that is mortal of our Comrade F. S. Riddle, Company G.,
14th West Virginia Volunteer Infantry,who answered to eternal roll call, February 28, 1897.
Comrade Riddle was a member of Liberal Post, No. 515 G.A.R. Department of Missouri, in
good standing, was buried according to the burial services of the order, March 1, 1897,
in Barton City Cemetery.
Truly one of God's noble men has been taken from our midst to the grand
Post above. A true friend, a faithful comrade, and upright citizen, a loving husband and father
has gone from us forever. That genial smile shall greet us no more, that warm hand will not
clasp ours again, his counsels will not be heard in our Post room. but let us emulate the noble
life he lived, imitate the loving deeds he did and we shall approach nearer to the sphere of a
true Comrade. Resolved: that a copy of these resolutions be furnished his family, a copy each
to our local papers with request to publish, and that a page in the Minure book of our Post be
dedicated to this record of his death. Committee: J.G. Mayer, A.W. Hefton, C.M. ?
