Never married. Known as Frank. He remained on the family farm with his older siblings George and Adele.
In 1900, he was living with his grandmother. The Census enumerator recorded their name as "Riddle."
From the Yorktown News, April 21, 1926:
Headline: Yorktown Woman Ends Her Life by Swallowing Acid
Despondent over failing health caused by a nervous breakdown, Mrs. Sophie Boldt ended her life Friday afternoon by taking a large quantity of carbolic acid. Neighbors found her dead in bed. Justice of the Peace B.L. Hausmann held an inquest and returned a verdict of suicide.
Mrs. Boldt, nee Sophie Riedesel was born in the Mill Creek section near LaGrange and came to Yorktown with her parents, Mr. and Mrs. August Riedesel, 58 years ago when she was only one year old. She was reared in Yorktown and received her education in the local public schools. Through intensive home study she prepared herself for the profession of teacher and later taught school at Meyersville and Garfield.
In 1910, she was married to William Boldt, who proceeded her to the grave in April 1922. She was Mr. Boldt’s second wife.
Surviving are two sisters, Mrs. C.M. Wagenschein of Yorktown and Mrs. Edwards Hoegermann of Los Angeles, California, two brothers William of Fresno and Charles of Los Angeles, California, besides a large number of step-children.
Funeral services were held Saturday afternoon, interment being at Westside Cemetery. Rev. E.A. Saegbiel, pastor of the Lutheran Church, officiated. The floral offerings were profuse and very beautiful.

Title: Wunderthausen: Geschichte der Häuser und Familie
Publication: Name: Self-published; Location: Wunderthausen, Bad Berleburg, Germany; Date: No Date;
Georg Ludwig Riedesel was born May 13, 1817, in Wunderthausen in the house known as Wetzels. He was the eighth of nine recorded children of Johann Ludwig and Anna Elisabeth (Knoche) Riedesel.
An older sister, Catherine, came to live in Warren County, New Jersey in 1837. Ludwig's application for naturalization states that he arrived in 1841 and that is the year he received permission to emigrate. He married Caroline Schaeffer (probably Schäfer) around 1845. She was born August 16, 1824 in Germany. One source gives Wunderthausen as her place of birth but this is incorrect. No Schäfer daughter is recorded in the birth records at this time--and no Schäfer family even lived in the village. Nor were they married there.
Several of the Riedesels who settled in Warren County came to be known as Riddle or Radle. It's not that there weren't other Germans around who could pronounce (and spell) Riedesel correctly, but this seemed to be the rule. Ludwig (or Louis) farmed near what was called Oxford Furnace. Ludwig finally received his naturalization papers in 1854 as "Ludwig Readle" though his signature says "Riedesel." He is buried as "Ludwig Riddle."
They had at least seven children before Caroline died in 1867. Four of their children are buried with them. The family name of his second wife Catherine is not known to me. Some have identified her as another Riedesel/Riddle by birth but that is almost certainly in error. There were three children that we know of from the marriage with Catherine.

She never married. Unfortunately, she is often confused with the second wife of Georg Ludwig Riedesel (aka Ludwig Riddle, born in 1817) whose first name was also Catherine but whose last name is unknown. Catherine Riddle never married. There is a large monument to her in the Hazen Cemetery which is, again unfortunately, sometimes attributed to the other Catherine. The latter appears to have died by 1885.

Born in Beitzels Haus in Wunderthausen. Came to the US on the ship Everhard out of Bremen, landing in Baltimore on May 25, 1841. Two of his brothers were also aboard. His brief obituary implies that he never married and that he lived with a brother in Jackson County. He is probably in the household of Johann Philipp as of 1860. A Find-A-Grave record shows him married to Eufrazia Noland but that is not correct. She was married to a younger, American-born John Knoche who I have not precisely identified.
Died as a child, date not known.
Known as Fanny.

Born in Weymers Haus in Wunderthausen. He came to America in March 1837 according to his naturalization record in Warren County, New Jersey. For whatever reasons, he and other Riedesels living there began to be called "Riddle" or "Radle."
He lived near Oxford (Furnace) where he was married and the children were born. In the mid-1860s the family moved out to Wheatland, Iowa, the home of dozens of fellow immigrants from Wunderthausen. When Maria died in 1869, she was buried as Catherine Riedesel even though they were otherwise called Radle. John and the younger children moved on to Cherokee County, Iowa after 1870 where they used the name Radle. But even among them, the spelling varied. Several of the older children moved back east but all but Margaret lived at least for a while around Wheatland. This obituary implies that all was not well within the family.
Cherokee Leader: July 2, 1873: pg 4
John Radle, of Silver Township,shot dead by his own Hand!
At about six o'clock last Monday morning, John Radle, living in Silver township, near the Morgan School House, this county, shot him self with a rifle. From the testimony of the witnesses before the Coroner inquest, held at one o'clock, p.m., of the same day, we deduce as follows John Radle, deceased, went out to the barn yard that morning, turned the cows out, re-entered the house and went up stairs. Shortly after he had ascended the stairs, the report of gun was heard. His two daughters at the time were in a room on the first floor. They rushed out and cried "Pa has shot himself !" A son, Frederick Radle, and hired man were at the barn, and at once hurried up stairs. The words of the frightened daughters were only too true there lay the gray-haired father in his own blood-dead! The butt end of the rifle was resting upon a bed, the muzzle being under his body. Near by was a long piece of timber which had previously laid up in the vicinity of the rafters, and one side was covered with dust. At one end finger marks were distinctly visible. The conclusion was that the deceased had placed the butt end of the rifle upon the bed, having previously cocked the trigger, and with the strip of timber, discharged the contents the ball entering his heart. The body lay untouched until about the time of the inquisition. E. P. Purcell, acting as special constable, summoned a jury, who, after an examination into the cause of deceased's death, before J. D. F. Smith, acting coroner, rendered the following

He was in the 60th year of his age. Deceased was a native of Germany. He lived several years in New Jersey and at the close of the war became a resident of Scranton, Pa.
