The John E. Ryder's of Evans, WV

I am researching the Ryder family. There are only five of us left, four in West Virginia, and one in Falls Church, Virginia. My Grandfather was Frank Alvin Ryder who was born in New York in 1882. He met and married my Grandmother in Oregon in 1911 and left in 1917. We have had no contact since. I have determined that he died in Chicago in 1944. Frank had a brother, Clark, who was born in 1885 and died in Springfield, Massachusetts in 1969. I do not know if Clark ever married. Their parents may have been named Earle and Keturah.

I have also researched my mother's side of the family (Easterling and Bourne)as well as the above mentioned Grandmother's side (French and Bolton). I would be happy to share what I have.
