Clearfield Enterprise, Thursday, February 1, 1940, p. 2
Mrs. G. F. Lyddon – Elizabeth Ann Richardson was born Feb. 17, 1854.
I was united in marriage to Charles Franklin Lyddon in 1874 and in the spring of 1878, we came to Iowa where we have ever since made their home. We lived on the farm until 1899, and since that time we have made our home in Clearfield.
Four children were born to make our home complete. Our first-born was Lottie Myrtle. She died at the age of 22 years. Ned Earl, now living in Clearfield, Irvin Elzie died in infancy; and Daisy Lela (House) living here in Clearfield.
There are two grandchildren==Merle Sheets of Oklahoma, and C. F. Lyddon of Clearfield. Two great grandchildren, Leslie and Ruth Elaine Sheets, living in Oklahoma. Also a host of relatives and friends.
I united with the Advent Christian church when about 12 years of age. Although being isolated from the Church of my choice, I can say, “I have fought a good fight, I have finished the course, I have kept the faith. Henceforth there is laid up for me a crown of righteousness which the Lord, the righteous Judge shall give to me at that day of His coming, and not to me only, but unto all those that love His appearing.”
I have always attended church and Sunday school when health would permit me to do. I can say---The Lord is my Shepherd, I shall not want; yea, though I walk thru the shadow of death, I will fear no evil, for He is with me.

Since the time the above was written by Mrs. Lyddon in 1934, a great great granddaughter, of whom she was very proud, Lela Sue Bonham, joined the family ranks.
