"Bert" Rader grew to adulthood near Wolcott, White County, Indiana, and as a young man began a long career as a teamster. His wife, Sarah Kreps — or "Lizzie" as she was known in her youth — was born several miles from the Mason-Dixon line in Franklin County, Pennsylvania, but had been reared in Illinois and Indiana, living mostly near her mother's Klinzman kinfolk, a sturdy, hard-working farming clan closely allied with the German Brethren faith. Bert and Sarah Rader had one son and two daughters. The couple lived in western Indiana for a number of years, but sometime after the birth of their younger daughter in 1905 they moved to Norfolk, Nebraska, where they were divorced about the time of World War I. Bert never remarried, and died at 68.
