Ryder, bought it from Newman and Miley, in 1874, since which time he has been engaged in conducting the business in its several departments. Michael Ryder, from whom has descended the numerous families, now living in Ohio, and in Lancaster, and Franklin Counties, Pennsylvania, who bear his name, located in Lancaster County, at an early date...."
