    Family William Kidder,   d. 1919 
    Notes 

    • She was my grandmother. He father Charles F. ended up in East Liverpool, Ohio and it was there that Lulu met her husband, William Kidder, from St. Marys W. Va. They had seven boys, including my father Vance Robey Kidder. Around 1904 my dad's parents moved to Canonsburg, Pa. My grandfather died from an accident in the mill in 1919. My grandmother died of a heart attack in 1956 or 57. Both grandparents are buried in Oak Springs Cemetery in Canonsburg, Pa.
      While my grandmother was alive she visited relatives each summer in Ripley, Ravenswood, Parkersburg, and St Marys. I was a boy then but the ones I remember are the Shafers from her mother's side, including Raul Allen, Charles McCarty, and Hoyt Cooper. I have some knowledge of what happened to her siblings and photographs of her and her family when she was in her teens or early 20s. When I get that information so that I cam email it I will send it.
      I cannot tell you how much I appreciate your efforts to get the family information organized and accessable to folks such as me. Vance W. Kidder v_kidder@msn.com
