From "The Descendants of Edward Riddle and Margaret McMillan," by Joan Riddle Giles
Amanda was the sixth child of John Brice Riddle and Catharine Douds. After spending her early childhood in Allegheny (now Pittsburgh’s North Side), Pa., in 1852, she moved with her parents to Mercer Co., Pa. At the time of the 1870 Census, Amanda was living in Brookfield Twp., Clinton Co., Ia., with her older sister Margaretta Waugh. Amanda was “keeping house,” undoubtedly helping Margaretta with her growing family. Amanda’s future in-laws, the Twiss family, were neighbors of the Waughs.
On 1 Jan 1871 in Mercer, Mercer Co., Pa., Amanda married Myron Twiss, who was born on 14 Jun 1841 in Cambridge, Washington Co., N.Y., a son of John Russell Twiss (b. 30 Jun 1811, Vt.; d. 7 Mar 1892, Jackson Co., Ia.) and Anna D. Bentley (b. 22 Aug 1812, N.Y.; d. 6 Dec 1880, Clinton Co., Ia.). (It is thought that at one time the Twiss family may have lived in the City of Allegheny, Allegheny Co., Pa., where Amanda was born, and in Oh.) Myron was a builder and carpenter. Amanda and Myron had four children—3 sons and 1 daughter—Chinella Robena, Walter Myron, Frank A. and Harry.
After their marriage, Amanda and Myron moved to Maquoketa, Jackson Co., Ia., where Amanda’s older sister, Margaretta Chenilla Riddle Waugh, was then living. In 1878, the Twiss family moved to Grundy Co., Ia., and on 9 Mar 1893, they moved to Norfolk, Ne., where they are shown at the time of the 1900 and 1910 Censuses, and where they were members of the First Methodist Episcopal Church. In 1915, they moved to Los Angeles, Ca., and in Aug 1927, they returned to Norfolk, where they lived with their daughter and where Myron died on 3 Sep 1927 at the age of 86.
After Myron’s death, Amanda returned to Los Angeles, where she was a boarder at the home of Stella Peterson, as shown in the 1930 Census, and in 1932, she returned to live at her daughter’s home in Norfolk, Ne. Amanda died at age 90 following complications from a broken hip suffered in a fall on an icy walk. She and Myron are buried at Prospect Hill Cemetery, in Norfolk, Ne.
