He married Johanna Heistand, daughter of Martin Heistand and Mary Alderfer, before 14 July 1907. This marriage confirmed by Johanna's quality third marriage record in which she is called Johanna Rindley. I've found no information on Rindley. He may have died or perhaps he and Johanna divorced.1

Clement D. Atkins¹

29 Apr 2024

Birth*	Clement was born circa 1866, s/o Peter Atkins & Mary Slater.1
Marriage*	He married Johanna Heistand, daughter of Martin Heistand and Mary Alderfer, on 14 July 1907 in Windsor, Essex, Ontario, Canada. Of Johanna's three marriages this is the only one with a clear confirmation she's the correct person.1
CensusLead*	The 1910 census listed a Clement D Atkins, who may be this person, as head of household at Cheyenne, Laramie Co., Wyoming. His wife is 38 yo Joanna Atkins. They show married 6 years (should be 2). Joanna lists this as her m2 suggesting the woman who married Thomas J Frickle was someone else. Joanna does show correct birthstate of OH, though both her parents are listed as PA rather than OH.2
ResearchNote*	Research Note of 23 June 2023 re Find A Grave. There's a Clement D Atkins (1859-1924) with Find A Grave memorial 3686287 who might be this person. The birthyear is off by quite a bit. He's buried at Los Angeles National Cemetery. There's no Johanna Atkins in that cemetery. In Ancestry's New York, U.S., Spanish-American War Military and Naval Service Records, 1898-1902 dB there's a Clement D Atkins from New York who served in the Spanish-American War. Mother's name Mary which matches his marriage record with Heistand.

Marriage*	He married Delilah Heistand, daughter of Martin Heistand and Mary Alderfer, on 1 January 1874 in Wyandot Co., Ohio.

Lola Clementine Alexander 1905 IN, res. Knox Twp 1929).      The Ancestry & FamilySearch images of the marriage record are identical. In the scan a piece of paper was placed over William & Delilah's entry and only the far left margin can be read. Fortunately the information on the page was indexed before the scan and my values are from the index, not from having actually read the handwritten entry.4,5,2
Census1880*	William and Delilah appeared on the 1880 Federal Census of Crane Twp., Wyandot Co., Ohio, enumerated 5 June 1880, as 41 yo farmer Wm H & 25 yo wife Delilah Spencer.

George Ridgway¹

23 Jun 2023

Birth*	George was born in 1864, s/o Joel Ridgway & Jane Bray.2
Marriage*	He married Amanda Heistand, daughter of Martin Heistand and Mary Alderfer, on 16 December 1892 in Jay Co., Indiana. George & Amanda apparently had only one child, Russell Ridgway (1897-1987). Russell m. Ruby Smith 1922 in Indiana. Their children were Helen, Jackie L, Robert J, James Wm, David & Diane. Russell & Ruby are in the 1930, '40 and '50 censuses. I haven't found Russell in the 1900, '10 or '20 censuses yet.      In 1901 George m2 Hattie L Briscoe. My preliminary research suggests their children were Cora (1903-1903) and Jessie Marie Ridgway (1906-1906). Hattie, Cora and Jessie all have Find A Grave memorials. It's odd that George & Hattie are not together in the 1910 census. In that one George is living with his parents Joel & Jane and marked widowed. George's Find A Grave memorial contradicts widowed and says they were divorced and that Hattie was 34 yo and living in Michigan.      George apparently m2 Mary Lnu between the 1910 and 1920 censuses, presumably after Hattie's death in 1912. George & Mary are in the 1920 & 1940 censuses in Knox, Jay, Indiana.3,1
Death*	George died in 1943.2
Burial*	He was buried at Claycomb Cemetery in Greene Twp., Jay Co., Indiana. Find A Grave provides headstone photo.2
