NOTE: Philip Rader, Sr. and his second wife, Elizabeth Sidden were Quakers. (Source: Quaker Records of the Miami Valley of Ohio, Eileen Davis and Judith Ireton, 1980, Cook-McDowell Publications) Both of them are buried in Quaker cemeteries in Ohio. Whether or not he practiced his Quaker faith during his lifetime is unknown since his great, great grandson, Richard Rader, has a book ( written in German) of religious writings of Martin Luther. Philip is buried in Sugar Grove cemetery, which was originally the place for Quaker meetings. Southwest Ohio was a central hub in the Quaker migration west from the states of Virginia, North and South Carolinas, Georgia, in 1795 onward. Philip had to be in good standing with the Quaker Church to be allowed to be buried in a Quaker cemetery.

This was owing to the fact that the majority of the men engaged in its construction were for James K. Polk, whose name was then before the national convention held at Baltimore as a candidate for President of the United States. On receipt of the news of his nomination, poke-berry bushes or branches were waved from the scaffolding and walls, and suspended there from in great profusion, hence the name.
